Abstract

Abstract In May 2024, the United States announced a steep increase in tariffs on electric vehicles (EVs) imported from China. This paper evaluates the short‐run impacts of that policy on trade flows and investor expectations. We find that imports of Chinese EVs declined sharply following the announcement. However, this timing also aligns with an increase in EV imports from third‐country trade partners. Further, we find that Tesla's valuation increased relative to Stellantis after the tariff was announced. This is consistent with investor expectations of reduced foreign competition for U.S. EV manufacturers.
