Electric vehicles in Finland - Statistics & facts
In October 2024, Finland abstained during a closed vote on the European Union’s tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles. Finland has a close trading relation with the Asian EV giant, which is among its five leading import partners. Worries surrounding a potential commercial retaliation from China regarding EU-imposed EV tariffs have therefore contributed to Finland taking a lukewarm approach to the issue, like many other member states. None of the 10 best-selling electric car brands in the Nordic country were from a Chinese brand, but Chinese-made cars represented nearly 22 percent of the EU fully electric vehicle market.
