Sorry to rake over a painful subject, but we need to talk about the continuing disastrous effect of Brexit on the UK automotive industry.
Car makers operating in the UK were always opposed to Brexit, mainly because it made life a lot more complicated. And another complication has now arisen from confusion about the EU's proposed Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA), which is designed to protect its industry from Chinese rivals with a series of benefits for EVs built within the bloc.
Absolutely 100%. Well said.
I know many self-confessed car enthusiasts who voted leave, around which I can never wrap my head.
Because it wasn't about money! I campaigned for Brexit, door-to-door, and I'm as big a petrolhead as you will meet. The EU is ALL about protectionism and restricting consumer choice. It's tariffs ensure that EU citizens attempting to exercise their choice get taxed...which is then spent on ludicrous schemes dreamt up by socialists. If you're okay with that, then fine, but lots of us were not.
Brexit still battering UK car industry, bettering Chinese car industy
