These filings occurred after the EU, subsequent to an anti-subsidy investigation, imposed tariffs on China-made EVs at the end of October.

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers BYD, Geely, and SAIC have filed challenges against the European Union's (EU) import tariffs at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), according to information available on the court's website. The complaints were lodged at the CJEU's General Court, the lower of its two chambers, with the deadline for filing challenges being just a day before their submission. The General Court's proceedings are expected to last an average of 18 months and allow for appeals, though specific details of the cases were not disclosed.
