  • China’s exports of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) to the EU surged 892% in early 2025, while pure electric vehicle (EV) exports declined due to the EU’s new tariffs.

  • China shipped 50,383 EVs and 25,903 PHEVs to the EU in the first two months of 2025.

  • The value of PHEV exports skyrocketed by 561%, reaching US$501.6 million, nearly half the value of China’s total EV exports to the EU.

These tariffs have had a significant impact, with China’s EV exports to the EU declining by one-third during the same period.
