Headline Session: Beyond Borders: Global Trade, Tariffs, and the Future of EVs
Monday, 10 March 2025
Format: Panel Discussion
As tariff wars and shifting trade policies reshape global supply chains, the EV industry faces new uncertainties. From the Inflation Reduction Act in the US to EU-China tariff disputes and critical minerals security, this session explores how trade policies are reshaping investment, production, and market access. Can Europe maintain a competitive EV sector amid protectionist policies, and what are the implications for OEMs and suppliers navigating this turbulent landscape?
Key Themes:
- How US, EU, and China trade policies are redefining EV market dynamics
- Are tariffs accelerating or hindering Europe’s path to EV supply chain independence?
- Will localisation policies force automakers to rethink global production strategies?
- How can European companies secure critical mineral supply chains amid geopolitical shifts?
