Shares of Wuling Motors, a leading Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, surged 8.7% on Monday, outperforming the broader market. The rally was fueled by investor optimism that the European Union's (EU) plans to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs would not significantly impact the company's sales or pricing strategies in the near term.

Last Friday, the EU secured enough support from member states to move forward with its proposal to levy tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China. However, the decision leaves room for further negotiations, suggesting that the implementation of the tariffs is not imminent.

Major Chinese EV makers have already announced that they will maintain their current pricing strategies in key European markets until the end of 2024, regardless of the tariff outcome. For instance, SAIC's MG Motor stated that it would not raise prices for its EVs in France this year, while sources indicate that BYD plans to keep prices unchanged in Italy until the end of the year.
