EU’s China EV price-floor plan lifts BYD and Xpeng — tariff fight may be shifting

Shares of China’s BYD climbed up to 4.8% in Hong Kong on Tuesday. Xpeng jumped 5.3%, while SAIC Motor added 3.6%, following news that the European Commission is considering a minimum-price system to replace tariffs on China-built electric vehicles. This pricing mechanism would also cover EVs made in China by foreign automakers. Eugene Hsiao from Macquarie Capital described the move as “positive for developing better ties” between the EU and Chinese carmakers.

Tesla shares fell 2.3% to $439.31 in Friday’s regular session and traded between $462.42 and $435.33 after the electric-vehicle maker reported quarterly deliveries that missed estimates. Visible Alpha data showed analysts had expected 434,487 deliveries, and the annual tally left Tesla trailing China’s BYD after the expiry of a $7,500 U.S. federal EV tax credit and intensifying competition from rivals such as Volkswagen and BMW. “It’s about Optimus, Robotaxi and physical AI,” said Dennis Dick, a trader at Triple D Trading, which owns Tesla shares.
