BMW CEO Oliver Zipse warned the EU that taxing Chinese electric vehicles could undermine the EU's Green Deal industrial plan. He said that the EU's new CO2 emission standards require automakers to produce more electric vehicles, and these automakers are very dependent on battery materials from China. Zipse stressed that without China's resources, the EU's Green Deal industrial plan would not be possible.
