There’s been considerable talk lately of a tariff war brewing, but some shots have already been fired by the European Union with both Tesla and BMW in turn suing. That’s right, the German and American automakers have both filed suit against the European Commission because of tariffs levied against their cars.

BMW has joined Chinese producers in filing a challenge at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) against EU tariffs on China-made electric vehicles (EVs), according to a filing on the court's website.

BMW said in a statement that EU duties on battery electric vehicles “harm business models of globally active companies.”
