Tesla, owned by Elon Musk , is taking the European Union to court over its tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China .

A 2023 investigation concluded that Chinese EV manufacturers, including Tesla ’s Shanghai operations, benefited from government subsidies like low-interest loans, cheap land, and supplier discounts.

The EU introduced steep anti-subsidy tariffs in late October 2024 , with Tesla hit by a 7.8 percent rate and other manufacturers facing duties as high as 35.3 percent .
