‘Rules of origin’ on vehicle batteries due to come into force on 1 January if deal on new delay is not reached Business live – latest updates The UK car industry is preparing to push for a two-year delay to Brexit tariffs on electric cars traded with the EU, after an initial European proposal suggested a shorter delay. Tariffs are due to kick in on 1 January for the majority of electric cars traded between the EU and UK unless the two sides can come to an agreement to delay for a second time the implementation of “rules of origin” on batteries.
