Sales of the three most popular Chinese-made electric vehicles in France have collapsed since the government made them ineligible for cash purchased incentives, industry data analysed by Reuters shows. A surge in imports of Chinese electric cars into Europe has triggered EU tariff threats, which are expected to be a bone of contention when President Emmanuel Macron hosts his Chinese counterpart for a state visit on Monday. France, however, did not wait for a European Union decision on implementing tariffs, instead redesigning its cash bonus scheme in December to exclude the purchase of models made in China, which have rapidly gained market share.
