Chinese Cars Outmaneuver EU Tariffs with Hybrids

The European Union tried to stop Chinese electric cars from coming in by making them more expensive.

But Chinese car companies found a clever way around this rule.

Instead of selling only electric cars, they started selling more hybrid cars, which have both electric and petrol engines.

This way, they didn't have to pay the extra taxes.

The number of hybrid cars from China sold in Europe went up a lot, and Chinese car companies are even starting to make cars right inside Europe to avoid the taxes.

Now, European leaders are not sure what to do next to stop these Chinese cars from coming in.
