Chinese EVs for Nigeria

Possible with conditions: needs per-car approval, used cars within 15 years. SONCAP conformity assessment, now upgraded to VehCAP: new and used vehicles must be certified in the exporting country before shipment — 'no certification, no entry'; otherwise clearance is refused or the car seized.

By our estimate, for example the Chery QQ Ice Cream is $8,500 FOB and about $11,800 delivered to Nigeria with shipping and taxes. Estimates only; the exporter's formal quote decides.

Fast charging there is mainly CCS2. Sources list CCS2 / Type 2; how many GB/T chargers exist is to be confirmed. China-market GB/T cars may need an adapter.

Usually by RoRo vessel to Lagos, 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.

Nigeria 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 up to 15 years old. Before export a used car is inspected and deregistered in China; the exporter handles it.

China-market head units are Chinese-first with China-only online services; ask about English UI and local maps.

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.
