Tesla's legal challenge is in response to the EU introducing tariffs at the end of October of 7.8 percent on Tesla's China-made vehicles. The bloc has also set tariffs of up to 35.3 percent on other China-made EVs. The new tariffs come on top of a 10 percent standard import tariff that was already in place for electric vehicle imports into the EU.

The EU imposed extra tariffs of up to 35% on Chinese-manufactured EVs in October after an anti-subsidy investigation found Chinese state support was unfairly undercutting European automakers.

About a fifth of all electric cars sold across the EU last year, or 300,000 units, were built in China. Tesla accounted for 28 per cent of Chinese-made EVs imported into the bloc in 2023, more than any other brand, according to Transport and Environment, an environmental NGO.
