What to check FOR when buying an electric VEHICLE...

If you are considering buying an electric car, the three points below are intended as a summary to help make things clearer.

• Electric motors are more energy-efficient than petrol or diesel engines, and they also minimize wasted energy by turning the vehicle off when it remains stationary and by charging the battery when braking.
• The electric driving range is a term used to describe the distance a vehicle can travel under electric propulsion alone. The electric range of a car depends on the specific make and model of vehicle.With most manufacturers pushing for development into this area, drivers of electric cars can now benefit from increased driving distances. For example, a Tesla Model Y  Premium AWD model can provide a driving range of up to 629 kms.
• Customs Import Duty - when you import your EV to your country, there will no doubt be some form of import duty applicable or perhaps if you are lucky, it might be zero. In most cases, import duty costs on an electric vehicle is far lower than the petrol/diesel engine equivalent model. 

• Batteries are the main talking point for buyers of EVs as these need to be constantly charged. There are a few ways of charging your vehicle; you can use an ordinary home charger (120 V), an upgraded home charger (240 V) or charge it one of the various points in public areas like parking lots.
  

  The home charging electric vehicle point is easily mounted to a wall. It either includes a connecting charging cable or a socket where a portable charging cable is plugged in.  This is a charging option preferred by EV owners because it is faster and includes built-in safety features.

  There are Government incentives for installing home charging points and these values vary from country to country. Once these charging points are installed you only pay for the electricity to use to charge the vehicle. These home charging points are normally installed by professionals.  

For longer distance roads trips, you can also use the fast charging units available at many petrol stations, shopping centres and parking lots. These are increasingly becoming more available making it even more convenient to charge the electric car on the go. The cost of using electric charging points will always be more cost-effective than filling up a regular petrol or diesel engine vehicle. 

The time it can take to charge a battery can be anything from as little as 30 minutes to up to 12 hours but this depends on the speed of the charging point being used and the size of the EV battery that is present. A typical guide is that 100 miles range can be achieved with a 40-minute charge using a 50kW rapid charger. 

As a guide, the average charging time from empty to full with a 7kW charging point will take about 8 hours for a 60kw battery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS :

What is the difference between an electric vehicle, a plug in hybrid and a hybrid?
A fully electric car (BEV) runs only on a battery and electric motor, with no petrol or diesel engine. A plug in hybrid (PHEV) combines a petrol or diesel engine with a battery you can charge, giving a short electric only range for daily use and the engine for longer journeys. A conventional hybrid uses a small battery charged by the engine and braking, and cannot be plugged in (sometimes called Mild Hybrid). We export all three types for our buyers.

How far can an electric car travel on a single charge?
Most modern electric cars travel between 200 and 500 miles on a full charge, depending on the model, battery size, driving style and climate. Larger prestige models with bigger batteries sit at the upper end of that range. The official figure to look for is the WLTP range, and real world range is usually a little lower, especially in cold weather or at motorway speeds.

How long does it take to charge an electric car?
It depends on the battery size and the charger. A rapid public charger can take most cars from about 10 to 80 percent in roughly 20 to 40 minutes. A home wall box of 7 kW typically gives a full charge overnight in around 8 to 12 hours. A standard domestic socket is the slowest option and is best only for a top up.

What charging connectors and standards do electric cars use?
In the UK and Europe the common standards are Type 2 for home and slower public charging and CCS for rapid charging. Some older models use CHAdeMO, and North American cars increasingly use the NACS connector. Charging networks and connector types vary by country, so it is worth checking the standard used in your destination market before you import.

How long does an electric car battery last?
Modern electric vehicle batteries are designed to last the life of the car and most manufacturers provide a battery warranty of around 8 years or 100,000 miles plus, guaranteeing a minimum level of capacity. Battery health is one of the most important things to confirm when buying any used electric vehicle. Our cars are mainly exported as brand new for buyers located around the world.

Are electric and hybrid cars cheaper to run than petrol or diesel?
In most cases yes. Electricity is generally cheaper per mile than petrol or diesel, and electric cars have fewer moving parts, which usually means lower servicing and maintenance costs. Running costs in your own country will depend on local electricity prices and any incentives available there.

Can electric cars be shipped overseas by sea?
Yes. Electric and hybrid cars are exported worldwide by sea freight every day. Because they contain a lithium battery, they are shipped under established dangerous goods rules, which cover how the battery is declared and handled. We arrange fully insured sea freight, with air freight available on request, and manage the export documentation for you.

Are electric and hybrid cars available in RHD (right hand drive) and LHD (left hand drive)?
Yes. We supply electric and hybrid vehicles in both right hand drive and left hand drive, in the correct configuration for your country, sourced from our UK and European network. Availability of each drive configuration varies by model, so we confirm this for the specific vehicle you are interested in.

Do electric vehicles qualify for lower import duty or local incentives?
Many countries apply lower import duty or offer incentives on electric and hybrid vehicles to encourage cleaner transport, but the rules vary widely from one market to another. You will pay the local taxes and duties that apply when the vehicle arrives, and for a number of countries we can advise on these with the help of our local partners.

What should I check before buying an electric vehicle for export?
The key things is the official WLTP range and the charging standard used in your country, and the drive configuration (right hand drive or left hand drive). It is best to tell us your requirements first so we can match the right electric or hybrid model, confirm its specification, and arrange export to your country. Our company exports many EVs around the world and demand is getting stronger by the year.

How long has Import Marques been established?
Import Marques has been exporting new and used prestige vehicles from the UK and Europe since 2001, including the latest electric and hybrid models. We are a small, family run specialist team supplying both trade and private buyers around the world, and we are based in the UK, the EU and New Zealand.

Hybrid cars for sale

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) such as the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid have both an electric motor and conventional petrol or diesel engine. Compared to a battery electric vehicle, this extends the total driving range but lowers the all-electric range. Owners of a plug-in hybrid vehicle will have the possibility to drive on electric drive power only if required to do so as the car can be charged with a standard electrical power outlet. 

Here are some of the popular latest models Hybrid models we can export worldwide: 

• BMW X5 50E
