Chinese EVs for Côte d'Ivoire

Possible with conditions: needs used cars within 5 years. No type-approval scheme found; pre-registration inspection and the automotive one-stop-shop process to be confirmed.

By our estimate, for example the Chery QQ Ice Cream is $8,500 FOB and about $15,300 delivered to Côte d'Ivoire with shipping and taxes. Estimates only; the exporter's formal quote decides.

Fast charging there is mainly CCS2. Sources list CCS2 / Type 2; public chargers are scarce; GB/T availability to be confirmed.

Usually by RoRo vessel to Abidjan, about 35–50 days at sea (plus preparation and export customs in China). Each model page estimates freight and insurance (CIF).

Warranty terms are agreed in each contract. The maker's warranty may not apply in your country; we tell you which case applies before you sign.

Côte d'Ivoire drives on the right (left-hand-drive cars). Each model page says whether a right-hand-drive version exists.

Used cars up to 5 years old. Before export a used car is inspected and deregistered in China; the exporter handles it.

French is the local language; China-market head units mostly offer only Chinese and English and their online services mostly don't work there; ask whether a global firmware is possible.

The exporter sets it in the contract — usually a deposit on signing and the balance before shipment. Pay only the exporter's company account named in the contract; we never change bank details in a chat, and no payment is taken on the website.

Pick a car and send an inquiry; a Chinese export company (named in the contract) quotes, signs the contract and handles the export licence, customs, inspection and shipping. By default the car is delivered to your door (DAP): a local customs agent we recommend clears it, and you pay the import taxes. Nothing is paid before the contract is signed, and no payment is taken on the website.
