The EU's provisional tariffs on Chinese EVs — up to 35.3% for BYD on top of the standard 10% — were designed to slow BYD's European expansion. BYD's response has been to accelerate local manufacturing: a plant in Hungary under construction, and active site evaluation in Turkey and possibly Spain. The tariff calculation method (based on EU investigation findings) is itself contested at the WTO. BYD's competitive advantage in Europe is price — their Seal and Atto 3 are priced 20-30% below comparable European EVs even with tariffs applied. The response from Volkswagen, Stellantis, and Renault, and whether European manufacturing can close the cost gap, is the central competitive question.
