BMW manufacturing the next electric MINI to bring 'economic growth & jobs' Liam Halligan

pissing more money up against the wall.

😂 electric cars, the world's biggest grift

The ar5e has fallen out of the EV industry.

It’s brilliant ever since we left the eu more and more eu member countries are investing in the uk and more and more trade deals are being agreed with countries outside of the eu THANK YOU BREXITEERS YOU HAVE DONE OUR GREAT BRITAIN A WORLD OF GOOD AND I MEAN WORLD NOT JUST A LITTLE PART OF IT OVER THE CHANNEL.
GREAT BRITAIN FOREVER EU NEVER 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

All very well and good, providing BMW understand that their investment should not be dependent on our relationship with the EU. We are not slowly slipping back into economic blackmail via dependency on EU exports.

As someone who's worked in vehicle Manufacturing for the last decade I can confirm the jobs aren't that well paid... Unless your right at the tippy top!

The Commie - servatives .......build back woke..... ..!!!

Also, Charge already have an EV only factory... This guy know sod all.

Would be fine except that we will never be able to replace fossil fuels with enough electricity when and where we need it if we are heavily reliant on wind generated energy.
There are numerous days in the year when wind generates less than 10% of our electricity.
As electricity currently only provides 20% of our total energy needs, this 10% represents 2% (or less) of our energy requirements.
Both the government and councils around the country are preparing for this severe energy deficit by planning to ration electricity (forcing electric meters and pricing us off the road).
I wonder do the car manufacturers realise the energy cliff edge that these incompetents are creating.
I actually found a policy document from one of the largest councils in the country that states these intentions.
They expect individual car use will be limited to permitted uses only if we are to meet our net-zero obligations.
Everyone else will he expected to use public transport, cycle or walk.
The huge 2 lane cycle-way in Birmingham isn't a red herring.
If they have their way it will be full of shivering cyclists in the next few years and the car lanes will be virtually empty.
I was brought up in a third world country where people had very limited access to cars.
From personal experience, I don't recommend limiting transport options in this way as it will have am extremely detrimental affect on both our economy and peoples life choices.
The people making these decisions are both dangerous and living in cloud cuckoo land.

I drove one of these electric mini from Blackburn to Bolton. Almost used the whole battery. Only has a 100 mile range which drains on the motorway. Terrible investment. Useless product

I remember betamax video recorders

The government "investing " in electric car manufacturing is a joke

Nobody wants this junk. I'll stick with my lovely petrol car thanks. 😂😂

UK is now a third world country 👑 👺

I love how electric cars upset the right so much 🥳🥳.
Imagine getting so annoyed about a car 😭😭😭

I won't be buying an EV

i just love the dino presenter, lets use more of the canals...we are in the age of internet, 5g and AI. did you hear of Amazon Prime same or next day delivery...all the best for the horse drawn boat delivery service to deliver your parcel. Dinos

But it's not going to bring economic growth to the UK.

It is great news, but cue the haters....................

Starting at £32,000, not exactly cheap and worth a fraction of that in a few years. I’ll stick with a good old petrol model without fear of running out of juice.

No its been made in China.....

If terrorists get them batteries, ALL I SAY, DON'T BLAME ME, ev battery highly dangerous that is just one of them...

Already you have rouge gangs on battery bikes, running what they see as having fun...

Funny how they are classed as motorised vehicle and still they NEED NO LICENCE, INEPT PARLIAMENT AND INEPT LAWS,,,

Nobody will buy the thing.

This is the way ahead, clearly. When cars first came on the roads, the horse lobby predicted that in a decade we would be regretting it.

EV's are as practical as wind farms.

Oh I must rush out and buy one 😂😂

The bubble is already bursting I'm afraid. Most new EV purchases now are now for company fleets, and personal EV car sales have stagnated this year as first time buyers have all dried up, and mostly everyone else is wise to their inherent flaws. EVs won't get mass adoption until solid state batteries are mainstream and competitive pricing wise with ICE/hybrid vehicles. Also the fire hazard goes up massively the more EVs we have, the type of fires caused by EVs with thermal runaway and hazardous chemicals released in the process is a huge issue the mainstream media are doing everything to avoid talking about.

Look at what JCB are doing says it all.

A Tesla model S can easily last 200,000 miles. I hope the new BMW 'fat Mini' EV isn't too complex.

Like anyone can afford one

The most terrifying word government can say is investing. They don’t have any money to invest, other than what they steal from us.

As an engineer, this country hasn't taken engineering seriously for a long long time.
Not much manufacturing work here, they sent it all to Poland!

Do they come with auto fire extinguisher as standard…

Just another scam. Go back to gasoline cars. This man is selling you crap. I can’t wait for the batteries in the Mini to cost more the the car itself.

Brexit gave you this you can now do this without being stifled by EU rules and regulations.

Desperation. Car companies are gutted finacially. Recalls are costing billions, R&D in battery cars will finish them off. Only 5% of drivers want a battery car.

Typical EV driver in the red car. Can't even take a corner without driving right over the center line on the wrong side of the road. Probably looking at the huge tablet sticking out of the dashboard.

More electric crap that nobody wants but we are all been forced into

Didn’t BMW do the dirty on Swindon car workers,producing only doors for the mini,and giving early redundancies shutting most of the plant down

Yet another company I will NEVER buy from.😊

The poor sales workers working in a cut-throat industry not really being regulated. Over-worked and under paid with discrimination rife in most dealerships.

What a bloody joke......this country is utterly screwed by Sunak and the other MP's who are working against the national interest. It will be interesting to see how much government money is going into this.

We bribed BMW with about £75 million didnt we?

We have lithium but we don’t have iron

More overtime for the African cobalt mines too.

How much tax payer money is being thrown away on this? Another brexit cost. Before the pandemic is before brexit, why can’t they admit it?

The government has given BMW loads of our money and won't say how much.

Don't vote tory if you don't want profits going to Germany.

Great but who will buy these vehicles?

EVs……… are a non-answer to a problem that does not exist !!!!
