EV companies are pulling out due to the 10% brexit tarriffs to export these vehicles
Renault, BMW and Mercedes-Benz among those claiming levy agreed in Brexit deal will hand chunk of market to global firms, including China Renault’s chief, Luca de Meo, led the calls, saying that if the EU did not take action then policymakers would simply be “handing a chunk of the market to global manufacturers” including Chinese companies, which are making significant inroads. European and UK carmakers timed their call ahead of this week’s gathering of the joint EU-UK Brexit specialised committees on trade. The tariff is due to be enforced from January, but carmakers in the UK and Europe are pushing to delay its introduction by at least three years. |

Oh dear, Brussels wants an extra 66 billion euros. This is all Brexit's fault as they could always count on the UK to stump up more money. We should have listened to the remoaners and stayed in.

It's what we've been saying all along and we are out of the political constraints and huge financial obligations that membership brings.
All that the remoaners have to talk about is mobile phone roaming charges. Pathetic. |

.. The @iealondon have a new report out Monday claiming to show Brexit hasn't hurt UK trade. I just *love* the tables below (a direct screenshot from the press release!). They *really* think we/you/journalists are stupid.... |

Here's post-Brexit goods trade in real terms - i.e. comparable to the second table above. Very clear that there has been a significant deterioration in UK export performance. |
|
By:
Continues
Beneath the hype, and ignoring the statistical f***witter of the press release, the @iealondon argument is simply that the UK's post-Brexit goods exports have been rubbish *both* to the EU and outside - so it can't be Brexit's fault. Not crazy, but adds nothing. And here https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/impact-brexit-uk-economy-reviewing-evidence |

If Brexit is adding costs to business it'll affect all output including exports to non-EU. It's not hard to conclude that making it harder for business in one area would make it perform worse overall.

You have been found out Donny, the only business negatively affected by Brexit are those that import from outside the EU then re-export the goods into the EU.

Brexit has damaged Britain’s “openness,” the Bank of England governor said on Wednesday.
Andrew Bailey stressed that as a public official he took “no position” on the decision to quit the European Union. “That was a decision for the people of the UK,” he said. “It has led to a reduction in the openness of the UK economy, though over time new trading relationships around the world should, and I expect will, be established. |

So not been bound by the EU rules has reduced our openness?

The government is to loosen EU-derived laws on chemicals in a move experts say will increase the likelihood of toxic substances entering the environment.
Under new plans the government will reduce the “hazard” information that chemical companies must provide to register substances in the UK. The safety information provided about chemicals will be reduced to an “irreducible minimum”, which campaigners say will leave the UK “lagging far behind the EU |

Trade with Europe ‘harder than ever’ for UK businesses

Nor the detailed report by the "institute of economic affairs" about EU/UK trade.
Nor the in depth analysis of selected non EU immigration over the open doors "freedom of movement" of the EU by Jonathan Portes. Rather then look at statistics and facts ,you will only find nonsensical ,hysterical rants about potholes and dearer motor insurance on this ,the remoaner scaremongering thread. Indeed we are concluding trade negotiations with Florida ,while the EU is talking membership with Albania ,now that is what I call "progressive". |

Brexit has ‘chilled’ business investment, says Bank of England deputy governor

It's about the 4th or 5th time this good news has
been announced. Still great, but yet more tax payers money been given to Nissan to sweeten the pot. Local news have it at 1.2 billion, tory biased Bbc say up to 2 billion. Good old Nissan, the saviour of brexit good news but... |

The UK government has provided support for Nissan through the Automotive Transformation Fund, which received a £2bn top-up in the Autumn Statement on Wednesday.
Mr Johnson declined to comment on how much funding the company has received from UK taxpayers. |

In May, Stellantis, which owns Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat, said it may have to close UK factories if the government did not renegotiate the Brexit deal.
The firm has made a commitment to making electric cars in the UK, but said that if the cost "becomes uncompetitive and unsustainable, operations will close". The AESC plant in Sunderland is the only one in the UK currently making electric vehicle batteries, but Jaguar Land Rover owner Tata plans to build a £4bn factory in Somerset. Some battery firms have had problems setting up in the UK. Britishvolt, which planned to make batteries in the North East, went into administration earlier this year. It was taken over by Australian firm Recharge Industries, but that hasn't gone smoothly either, with £2.5m of the purchase price still unpaid months after it was due. By contrast the EU has 35 plants open, under construction or planned. In September Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a major shift in UK green policy by delaying a ban on new petrol and diesel cars by five years, to 2035. A point he is HAMMERING home |
|
By:
He should delay the ban indefinitely. When battery cars become competitive and there is sufficient charging capacity in place people will buy them. I doubt that will happen by 2035. At the moment there is range anxiety, questions over battery safety and durability, environmental damage and high insurance and depreciation costs. Battery cars are not the answer and I doubt they ever will be.
