The United Kingdom is preparing to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, The Times reports.

British Business and Trade Secretary Reynolds fears that Chinese cars are being sold in the country at artificially low prices. Earlier, the EU urged London to raise tariffs, threatening trade restrictions.

According to the newspaper, the EU believes that the United Kingdom could become a “back door” for Chinese exports to Europe. At the same time, British authorities fear retaliatory measures by Beijing against Jaguar Land Rover, but believe that the consequences of being excluded from the European “Made in Europe” scheme would be more serious.
