UK-EU electric vehicles: customs status under debate
The United Kingdom is asking the European Commission to recognize European status for British electric vehicles to avoid customs duties linked to rules of origin, while the British industry is calling for unhindered access to the European market. From January 1, 2027, a 10% tax could hit hundreds of thousands of electric vehicles traded between the EU and the United Kingdom, due to complex rules of origin and the presence of Asian batteries. A report by LSE Consulting advocates closer EU-UK ties, and the ACEA and SMMT associations are studying the integration of battery supply chains. Spain is calling for the United Kingdom to be included in "Made in Europe" rules in the face of Chinese competition, while France and Germany are also mentioned in discussions on the 10% tax.
