The German government is working to prevent the European Union’s new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles from coming into force — or at least soften them should a full halt not be possible, according to people familiar with the matter.
Officials in Berlin are optimistic that the EU will be able to find a solution in direct talks with China, said one of the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the talks are confidential.
