Electric cars (Tesla+) are much more expensive than gasoline cars to purchase initially.

  Has the UK decided to block or add protectionist regulations to Chinese EV imports?

    No, at least not yet. It was one of the issues when discussing with EU, as they were worried those EV will get routed through UK to EU without tariff.
