What on earth - how did you make this about Brexit when the whole EV market is in trouble, and you made it about Brexit. Wow.

From the article:

"But it’s facing challenges with navigating post-Brexit regulations that make British-made EVs significantly more expensive to sell in the EU."

Much what on earth. Such wow.

How is "more expensive to sell in the EU" to be blamed in case of a company that hasnt tried to sell anywhere at any price?

The whole EV market is in trouble? Sales aren’t increasing as fast as they were ( but are still going up ) and some manufacturers are rethinking their individual strategies but I don’t think “sales are up globally year on year” equates to “the whole EV market is in trouble”.
