Would the DS without transmission and engine be heavier than the EV stuff including batteries, or would it be the other way round? That would dictate which way round the shipping should go if the goal is to minimise fuel costs.

No idea. But that is a very good point. I was basing any cost estimate on car imports. For example, my brother in law paid £2000 ish to ship his Audi back to aus from the UK. I still have no idea why he did that but anyway. The cost was based on the car fitting in a container. Weight wasn't part of it. You could fill the car with stuff if you wanted.

Probably better to import the EV drive line to here and build locally.
