Car Wars (Part 2) - Electric Vehicles, China and the EU
Manage episode 425716426 series 3379792
As the competition between the US and China over electric vehicles ramps up, the pressure has mounted on the EU to agree its own approach to the issue of Chinese EVs. While there are widespread concerns about the impact of Chinese EV imports and calls for the EU to protect its auto industry, others argue that the availability of affordable Chinese EVs and “green tech” more generally can help accelerate Europe’s own transition. This critical policy debate is taking place against a backdrop of concern about the global impact of Chinese industrial over-capacity.
Why is the EU concerned and is it right to be? How might the EV issue affect broader EU-China trade relations and what are its implications for EU-US trade relations? Lastly, what does the EV case teach us about how the EU should balance decarbonisation and industrial policy?
For a discussion of the US-China EV rivalry, listen to the previous episode of the AIG Global Trade Series 2024: “Car Wars (Part 1)” features Rem Korteweg in conversation with Scott Kennedy and Wendy Cutler.
