UK considers tariffs on Chinese electric cars

Chinese electric cars are selling well in the UK, including models from BYD and Leapmotor.

The UK is considering tariffs on cars imported from China, after talks with Germany, which wants to support European carmakers.

Tariffs could make it harder for Chinese brands to compete, but they could also make electric cars more expensive for buyers.

The debate matters because affordable electric cars have helped boost vehicle sales in the UK.
