Won't this mean the car will be subject to import charges Vs a model made in Europe?

 

Making the electric version much more expensive than a normal one?

Sounds like it's going to be different car all together, underneath at least.

 

'According to analysts at Bernstein, the Chinese electric Mini will be built on a new platform to be developed by the joint venture rather than on the same basis as the battery-powered Mini that will enter production at BMW’s British plant in Oxford from 2019.'
