The tariffs for Chinese EVs happened in the US (increased from 25% to 100%), not in the EU.[1]
The CO2 thing is something that is done in France to put conditions on local subsidies for EV purchases, it's not about import tariffs.[2]
The EU does have an ongoing investigation which may result in tariffs, but it is focusing on subsidies in China that would cause unfair competition. EU car manufacturers don't seem to be in favor of tariffs though.[3]
