Headline Session: Beyond Borders: Global Trade, Tariffs, and the Future of EVs

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?
