Gas or ev? I thought the EVs were tariffed high


Hybrids and EV, at least in Spain both are quickly becoming popular, even with tariffs. Probably helps that our government still gives people ~3K EUR if they go electric.


EV, it even had a 10k EUR subsidy.


Is 17% high?


I was under the impression that it was %30+, guess I’m wrong


It varies by company. The companies that participated in the audit generally got hit with a 17% tariff, the ones that didn't, 34%. (oversimplified).

Either way I phrased my original comment as a question as I'm not sure whether to consider 17% or 34% as "high". It depends on perspective. Both are painful, but neither are high enough to completely kill trade, like 100%+ tariffs do.
