Chinese carmakers’ push into the European electric-vehicle market continued to meet resistance, with their share of deliveries to the region slipping during October in the run-up to new tariffs.

Manufacturers including SAIC Motor Corp.’s MG and BYD Co. accounted for 8.2% of European EV registrations for the period, according to researcher Dataforce. That marked a decline from September’s 8.5% and the fourth straight month that market share was below year-earlier levels.
