The automaker argues that without such measures, British-made EVs would be at a competitive disadvantage compared to those produced in the EU. The warning highlights growing tensions over how the UK might align its trade policies post-Brexit while maintaining a level playing field for domestic manufacturers. Industry observers are watching closely as the debate over tariffs and supply chain regulations intensifies.
