In response to the EU's recent “restrictions” on the export of hybrid models by Chinese car companies, Cui Dongshu, head of the China Automobile Dealers Association, said that the EU's introduction of relevant restrictions will have a certain impact on China's plug-in hybrid exports, but domestic plug-in hybrid products are highly competitive and have achieved a leap from higher electricity than fuel to the same price of oil and electricity, to electricity being lower than fuel, leading the world in terms of technology, fuel consumption, and vehicle value experience. Europe previously rejected the hybrid route, and the local industry missed out on development opportunities. From 2025 to 2026, China's plug-in hybrid vehicle exports exploded in the EU market, putting competitive pressure on the market.
