BMW and the European Commission are in talks about a possible minimum pricing model that could replace EU tariffs on the German carmaker's Chinese-made Mini electric vehicles, Germany's Handelsblatt business daily reported on Tuesday. This follows an agreement struck between Brussels and Volkswagen earlier in February, under which the group's SEAT/Cupra brand secured a tariff exemption for its all-electric Tavascan SUV coupe following months of discussions. Similar deals could follow, with Chinese carmakers also thought to be eyeing exemptions for their EU-bound EVs.
