 The #EU is about to throw the #electriccar sector in the UK a (temporary) lifeline; its delaying the rule of origin threshold on imports of #electricvehicles for a year to allow firms the time to re-organise their #supplychains... 

Whether the UK #manufacturers will be able to organise domestic #battery supply on that timescale is another matter altogether.... 
 @43d7c4ea I’m not confident, it takes time which they don’t have. And with the dithering of the UK government I’d be surprised if any more manufacturers want to invest here. And why build cars here with EU batteries? Might as well move production to the EU.
