Chinese EVs for Chile

Possible with conditions: needs a new car (used imports banned). New cars must be homologated by model at the Transport Ministry's 3CV centre (safety and emissions) before registration; usually done by the brand's importer.

By our estimate, for example the Chery QQ Ice Cream is $8,500 FOB and about $13,800 delivered to Chile with shipping and taxes. Estimates only; the exporter's formal quote decides.

Fast charging there is mainly CCS2. CCS2 covers public DC charging; a government report says GB/T cars have no compatible public fast chargers. GB/T AC is allowed since 2024.

Usually by RoRo vessel to San Antonio / Valparaíso, about 30–45 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.

Chile drives on the right (left-hand-drive cars). Right-hand-drive cars can't be registered. Each model page says whether a right-hand-drive version exists.

Used cars can't be imported. Before export a used car is inspected and deregistered in China; the exporter handles it.

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.
