Carmaker Stellantis has shipped the first electric vehicles produced under a joint venture with China’s Leapmotor to Europe, with the first models to go on sale next month.
First of all the EU only bans sales of new diesel and gasoline cars and vans by 2035. You will still be allowed to drive them and also to sell and buy them second hand. So no need to have a massive EV fleet by then.

The other problem is not that the EU does not produce cars, but that it does not produce enough EVs. It is a huge industry and China is subsidizing its green industry by a factor of three to nine times more money then the OECD average. Europe just can not compete with that without government action.
I think that doesn‘t answer the question how he thinks the tariffs correct the „mistake“ of Europe‘s ICE legislation
