03 / MARKET CONTEXT
Across the 9 same-spec pairs, the German entry price is 78% to 186% above the China list price at the ECB reference rate (median +100%).
Both are manufacturer list prices including local VAT (China 13%, Germany 19%); promotions and subsidies are excluded. The gap also reflects EU import duty — plus the additional countervailing duties on China-built battery-electric cars since 2024 — homologation, logistics and dealer margin. It is not a profit margin. ECB reference: €1 = ¥7.4326 · ↗
