Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume is calling for the EU to rapidly impose higher tariffs on Chinese plug-in hybrid vehicles, which captured nearly one-third of Europe's PHEV market in H1 2026 at the expense of established European manufacturers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Electric Vehicles.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you supply powertrains, batteries or components to Chinese EV makers selling into Europe, tariffs are coming—and they will compress margins or force a manufacturing shift. Move your supply chain or your customers' unit economics before the tariff hammer lands.
