Chinese EVs have up to 45% tariffs in the EU. The exact amount is different for each company and depends on the amount of state funding that company had received
13% is about average, brands that cooperate with EU have lower rates, obviously brands that export to EU cooperate.
AFAIK no brand is paying anything near 45%.
I was not aware of the 10% base duty for all cars into EU.
But the rates you state are general for a brand, but do not account for per model negotiations:

13% is certainly not the average. Not sure who upvotes such utter dubious information.
All foreign cars have a 10% base import fee in the EU. Adding to that up to 35% extra anti-subsidy tariff.
Byd: 27%
Geely: 28%
Saic: 45%
Nio: 31%
Xpeng: 31%
Other: 45%
Excluding shipping, handling and homologation and not including VAT that is applied on top of the tariffs.

Cupra Tavascan has achieved a 0% duty, and Tesla is 7.8%.
I suspect several of the more popular Chinese models, have negotiated lower rates too.
Thanks for the follow up. It is worth mentioning that both Tesla and Cuprsa Tavascan are not Chinese owned.
The biggest/most popular Chinese manufacturers in the EU are BYD, SAIC, Geely, NIO and Xpeng.
And yet, EU automakers get billions in state funding from governments.
And you think the Chinese automakers are… ???
