Too little and too late. Draconian measures are necessary to push automakers into compliance and to push consumers to buy. It's expensive unless we want to sell out to China completely, but necessary and in the end, affordable.

Some automakers are doing better than others. Renault has a range of well-reviewed EVs that aren't so far off the value of Chinese imports.

That is with EU import tariffs of up to 45.3% on "non-cooperating companies" (such as SAIC Group aka "MG").

To compensate for Chinese subsidies/state-aid tilting the market in the Chinese companies favor.

It is not Trumpian completely insane tariffs applied without thought. It is a scalpel applied to ensure fair competition.
