The United Kingdom is preparing to shift its trade policy toward imposing additional tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles. The move is widely seen as a response to pressure from the European Union, which has threatened to exclude the UK from its “Made in Europe” manufacturing preference scheme

The European Union’s demand that Britain raise tariffs on Chinese cars exposes an awkward truth about post-Brexit trade. Britain might have left the EU, but it cannot easily escape the bloc’s industrial policy. According to the Financial Times, EU officials have told Prime Minister Andy Burnham that Britain needs to align more closely with EU trade policy towards China if it wants British manufacturers to avoid discriminatory treatment under the bloc’s proposed “Made in Europe” rules.

Tesla’s planned solar factory in Texas has landed in the middle of a US patent lawsuit between two Chinese solar equipment makers, both chasing the ingot-growing furnaces Tesla needs to hit its 100 GW goal.

One U.S. Senator claims that rumors are swirling around Washington an upcoming meeting with China may open the door to Chinese EVs.

Chinese scientists have developed a way to generate a fourfold increase in power output of hydrogen fuel cells, an advance that could broaden their use from road vehicles to space missions. Hydrogen is widely viewed as a promising clean energy source for a low-carbon future. Fuel cells convert the chemical energy in hydrogen directly into electricity, producing water as their only exhaust. In a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Science on Thursday, researchers at the Beijing Institute...

BYD Korea’s Dolphin compact electric hatchback is far more than just a low-cost electric vehicle (EV), positioning itself as a serious contender in the segment with strong practicality and solid driving performance. Dolphin’s greatest strength lies is its pricing. With government subsidies applied, the vehicle can effectively be purchased in the low-20 million won ($13,600) range, placing it in direct competition with key rivals — Hyundai Motor’s Casper Electric and Kia Ray EV. Consumer response has been swift. The company sold 1,202 vehicles in August, ranking fourth in the imported vehicle market here. The combination of affordability and practicality clearly resonates with buyers. The vehicle's popularity becomes easy to understand after spending time behind the wheel, particularly for first-time EV buyers or consumers seeking a practical commuter-focused second car. The base model produces 70 kilowatts, or roughly 95 horsepower. The figures appear modest, but the instant torque
