What Importers Should Know

EV sedans and premium SUVs lead interest from dealers; commercial vans are the fastest-growing Chinese import segment.

Questions Buyers Ask

Can I sell a Chinese EV in Germany?

Yes — with EU WVTA and battery passport documentation; factory cooperation shortens approval.

What role do TÜV checks play?

Registration requires technical inspection; conformity files must match the imported batch.

Is RHD an issue?

No — Germany is LHD; EU homologation covers LHD builds.
