Chinese carmakers secured an 11% share of the European electric vehicle market in June this year as buyers rushed to avoid EU tariffs on imported electric vehicles that came into effect at the start of the month July.

Chinese electric cars are becoming more and more popular in Europe
SAIC, the company that owns MG, was responsible for the biggest jump, but 40 percent of imports were recorded by dealers rather than drivers themselves, another sign of the race against European Union tariffs on Chinese-made electric cars.
The electric car maker sold just under 13,400 cars in June, while its rival BYD had total sales of just under 4,000 units.
SAIC is subject to the EU’s highest tariff, which stands at 38%, compared to BYD cars, which face a 17% tax from July 5, 2024. The decision comes as part of the EU’s move to create conditions fair with own car manufacturers.
The biggest markets for Chinese electric vehicles in Europe are Germany, the United Kingdom and France, followed by Norway, Belgium and Italy.
