BRUSSELS: China’s electric vehicle (EV) industry has asked the European Commission (EC) to correct its mistakes in its investigations into Chinese EVs, according to an industrial body representing the Chinese BEV makers.

Shi Yonghong, vice-president of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products, which represents 12 Chinese EV makers, was here last week to engage with the EC on the issue.
