China's Push for Cheap Electric Vehicles in Europe Sparks Concerns Over Jobs and Competition

China has gained control of raw materials and batteries needed for electric vehicles (EVs), and is now pushing cheap EVs into Europe.

Chinese brands like BYD are opening showrooms across Europe and aim to offer low-cost EVs that European automakers can't yet match.

European consumers are conflicted - Chinese EVs could help meet climate goals, but threaten European auto industry jobs.

Europe is investigating whether to raise tariffs on Chinese vehicle imports to protect its own industry.

Some European consumers seem open to Chinese EVs for the cost savings, unconcerned about their origin.
