Comment on BYD launches cheapest UK model in bid to overtake Tesla as biggest electric carmaker
HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 4 days agoRegulations warentee expectations Nd certifications are a huge part of the cost of importing new cars.
Shipping is likely 1/2 as much as manufacturing when you consider the size and risk of loss. Then taxes and tarrifs. Trump may be insane but at this price range the UK has always had some tarrifs outside the EU.
Price comparisons between nations are pretty complex with all this included.
