Tesla sees Chinese OEMs commanding an equal share of the Western European new BEV passenger car market over 12 months, according to the latest Schmidt Automotive Research data.


While anti-subsidy tariffs introduced at the end of 2024 aimed to stem the entry of Chinese-made BEVs into Europe, they had only a temporary impact, according to the latest European Electric Car Study, published later this week. Chinese-made Tesla models were also affected, though at a lower tariff level. 


Chinese OEMs now command an equal share of just over 10% of the new pure electric car market across Western Europe on a 12-month basis.
