They added that electric car prices could rise by an average of 0.3 to 0.9 per cent in the EU.\n\n> German auto manufacturers fear any retaliation could hurt their activities in China, and Germany’s Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck visited Beijing last month on an 11th hour mission to avert a damaging trade war.\n\n> Duties were “generally not suitable for strengthening the competitiveness of the European automotive industry in the long term – we reject them”, Volkswagen said in a statement.
