Swindon doesn't make electric cars. That is why Honda is closing it. So altogether a non-starter.

BOTH cars are going to be built at the French site.
If you knew more about the motor sector, you would know that famously BL/Rover Group built cars in the UK for Honda before its Swindon factory opened.

Most car plants in Europe don't make electric cars but it's not rocket science to transfer an assembly line over to make them. In fact, Honda was planning to do this at Swindon. Honda would lose a lot of future car-buyers if it cited Brexit as a contributory reason for closure so sensibly it has not.

It's unclear whether the Ineos Grenadier will have any electric versions available.
