hopefully we will be able to buy €10,000 EV such as BYD Seagull in the UK - otherwise, as seems most likely, we will stupidly follow EU / US tariffs, “kill” the non existent UK car manufacturers (Tata, Renault Nissan, Ford, GM) and give up on a way to go net zero affordably - ie the worst of both worlds [no doubt the chinese would happily invest in UK onshore screwdriver factories maybe without the massive state subsidies that the EU makers demand
- adriancr 2y agoYou can already buy a dacia spring for around the same price as that BYD will sell (if and when it ever becomes available). So tariffs aren't going to hurt your options, you already have them.
- mtrovo 2y agoWhat about build quality tho?
- adriancr 2y agoone exists and one is imaginary? You're not going to get a tesla at that price point.
- HDThoreaun 2y agoBYD makes nice cars. Definitely nicer than the EU companies make at the same price point

- ulfw 2y agoThe Dacia Spring is a Dongfeng made car, not a European made car. Same tariffs would apply.
- adriancr 2y agoThat's surprising... thanks...
