Recently, a research team from the School of Vehicle and Mobility at Tsinghua University, in collaboration with other partners, released an article that offers a detailed examination of how the EU’s electric vehicle tariff policies uniquely affect various countries and consumer segments. The team developed a high-resolution dataset encompassing 20 EU countries, 10 vehicle model segments, 168 pure electric vehicle models, and 125 plug-in hybrid models. This dataset integrates multidimensional information, including sales figures, market penetration rates, pricing, transportation costs, cost structures, energy consumption, and battery capacity. Leveraging this data, the team introduced a comprehensive analytical framework titled “Automaker Response Mechanisms - Consumer Total Cost of Ownership - Electric Vehicle Market Diffusion - Vulnerability Identification” to quantitatively evaluate the effects of the tariff policies.
