Chinese automakers revealed new EVs at the Paris Motor Show, highlighting their technological edge over European rivals.

Struggling European automakers need to prove they are still in the game, while Chinese rivals are aiming to get a foothold in a competitive market.

Chinese and European automakers are going head-to-head at the Paris car show on Monday, with tensions running high as the EU gears up to impose hefty import tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles and the industry struggles with weak demand.

The show could mark a turning point for Europe’s automakers, which have struggled to produce cheap EVs.
