Re: Britain outside the EU

Sales of electric cars are included in the EU trade deal, so not affected by Brexit.

However, Ellesmere Port could still be used to build an electric or hybrid version of the new car.
Mr Tavares said he welcomed the trade agreement reached between the UK and the EU - and added that the terms of the deal meant electric cars could now be built in the UK or in continental Europe.
On paper, he said, it might make more sense to invest in Europe, because "the biggest market is on the continental Europe side".

However, the government's decision to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 - with the exception of some hybrids - has impacted that decision.
"If governments create situations that destroy the business model, we stop investing of course", said Mr Tavares.
"If we are told that in 2030 internal combustion engines cannot be sold in the UK - which we respect as a decision from the country - then are not going to invest in internal combustion engines any more. Because that makes no sense", he added.
