Tesla joins BMW against EU tariffs
Business
Tesla, BMW, and Chinese automakers have filed legal challenges against the European Union's tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles. On Monday, Tesla submitted its case to the Court of Justice of the European Union, joining the ongoing legal battle.
The U.S. automaker is contesting the 7.8% tariff imposed on its vehicles, a rate lower than that of its competitors. Despite this, Tesla has aligned with companies like BYD, Geely, and SAIC to push for the removal of these import tariffs.
The case was filed in the General Court of the European Union, with proceedings potentially lasting up to 18 months. The EU's decision to impose tariffs follows a broader conflict with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is also under investigation regarding content moderation on his social media platform, X.
This legal dispute could significantly impact the future of automaker partnerships within the European market and the broader development of the electric vehicle sector.
