The European Commission set out key conditions for Chinese electric vehicle makers to avoid tariffs.

On Monday, it showed how those companies can replace EU levies with commitments to sell at minimum prices.

The commission further said it would take into account Chinese EV investments in the bloc.

The tariffs of up to 35.3% on EVs are the biggest source of trade tensions with the EU.

For Beijing, Brussels wants to protect Europe's auto industry from an influx of cheaper imports produced by the likes of BYD and Geely.

The two sides have held a series of talks to find an alternative to the levies.

China favours minimum price commitments from producers.

The EU executive is still requiring that any offered prices eliminate the harmful effects of subsidies.

They must also have an effect equivalent to duties, be practical and minimize cross compensation.
