The European Commission's investigation found that Tesla has benefited from state subsidies, including below-cost battery prices, cheap land, and grants for exporters.
The 9% tariff on Tesla's Chinese-made vehicles is significantly lower than the 21.3% average for compliant companies and 36.3% for non-compliant ones.
EU officials determined that while European carmakers face a threat of injury from foreign competition, there is no immediate harm warranting provisional tariffs.
If left unaddressed, the influx of subsidy-driven Chinese electric vehicles could soon lead to significant harm to European manufacturers and their workforce.
