Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) is campaigning for no tariffs on EVs for exports between the UK and the EU from the start of 2024. Habeck clarified this after talks with government representatives in the UK, where he was attending an international AI conference. He also discussed the issue with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. New customs rules will come into force at the beginning of 2024.
