Early this year, Uber acknowledged its concerns over meeting emission goals and is urging car manufacturers and policymakers in Europe to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Concurrently, the European Union (EU) is considering imposing additional tariffs, including potential retroactive tariffs, on Chinese electric vehicles, citing evidence of illegal financial support from Beijing to its EV industry. This move aligns with proposals from U.S. lawmakers, including Republican Senator Marco Rubio, who suggests increasing tariffs on Chinese vehicle imports by $20,000 to protect American automakers and workers. Additionally, Senate Democrats have also called on the Biden administration to hike tariffs on Chinese EVs, highlighting a bipartisan effort to safeguard American automotive manufacturing against what is perceived as unfair competition.
