What, me worry? That seems to be the attitude these days at leading Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker BYD Co. Ltd. (002594.SH; 1211.HK), which is cruising ahead into Europe despite the anti-dumping tariffs levied against its cars by the EU. The company has revealed a European roadmap that includes a drive through in Germany, as China and the European Commission remain deadlocked in ongoing talks to reach a deal that would end the tariffs.

The EU began investigating Chinese EVs last October over allegations of unfair state support and announced its results in mid-June. It later imposed provisional tariffs on Chinese EVs ranging from 7.8% to 35.3% on top of an existing 10% tax on all cars imported into the market. The additional anti-dumping tariffs were officially approved by the European Commission after a vote early this month.
