"BYD faces a 17% tariff on imported electric vehicles in EU, in addition to the standard 10% base rate."

"BYD has sold 19,241 fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in Europe last month, a 255% soar from the same period a year ago."

Small numbers, but I am pretty sure they're in Europe. https://eletric-vehicles.com/byd/byd-sales-in-europe-more-th...

Edited: Tariffs vary across Europe, particularly in non EU nations.

There is no fixed tariff in Europe like you are quoting. It varies.

It’s so annoying that the EU is artificially hampering EV adoption to protect their outdated fossil fuel car manufacturers.
