Id say yes. Or at lerast not as bad as some feared.
But id also guess its an effort by Tory PR to diminish the negative impact of their actions.
Lets face it few if any questioned if this decision would lead to this change as well. The announcement is timed as other news that non Tory voters are unimpressed with his claims. And mini plus others are claiming it makes no difference. While ford states it will cost them more as they have spent on th original plan.
Sounds like bulshit PR. And given cars are imported and exported. Seems unlikely one nations (outside china and the US) rules can effect the a huge company like ford hugely. They have always had to develop cars for each market and do. Brexit and the limitations/costs of exporting to/from the EU. Will have a much more dramatic effect on UK facories then this.
PS just to be clear its a shitty move. But I feel no worry about the effect on ford etc.
As for the {Motor industry analyst/ Tory PR stooge} Seriously what is he smoking. A target on number of EV sold in uk. Will effect the industry more then a total ban on ICE cars. I really wish hed remove Sunak from his mouth before speaking.
