the electric vehicle industry says this will undermine investment and result in the EU yielding even more ground to China in the shift to EVs

      It is still their fault for complacently failing to plan ahead 25 years ago and resting on their ICE laurels until the competition ate their lunch. The rest of the world will keep buying chinese cars and Europe will lag behind forever in this.
