The buyer's guide to Chinese luxury EVs and PHEVs (2026)
CRAVEUO EV Export · Sources last checked 2026-10-29
Quick answer
China's premium EV and PHEV models run from just under US$40,000 for some base versions to about US$274,000 FOB on our reference price list. Not every model can be exported new through a third party: a few we can quote now, many need supply confirmed first, and some are sold abroad only through the maker's own dealers. We export left-hand-drive China-market cars with a GB/T charging inlet. We are not a dealer, so plan for warranty and service before you buy.

The Galaxy M9 range starts at US$30,700; only its two top versions pass US$40,000. Prices on our list are formula-based reference prices and most have not been checked against a supplier quote. Ask for a written quote for your exact version and colour.
Some supply contracts restrict exports of a brand to certain countries. For Zeekr and Lynk & Co this may include several countries in the Gulf, Central Asia and the Caucasus, and some in Latin America and North Africa. If your country is one of them, the car is "supply to be confirmed" for you: we confirm within 24 hours whether we can supply it, and we check before quoting. Li Auto has official dealers in markets such as Kazakhstan, AITO has an official dealer in the UAE, and the Yangwang U8 has an official UAE price; in those markets we usually point you to the local dealer.
Left-hand drive only
We export China-market cars, which are left-hand drive. We do not supply right-hand-drive versions, even where a model is sold as right-hand drive elsewhere.
Charging: the GB/T inlet
China-market cars use the GB/T standard. If your country uses another plug (for example Type 2 or CCS2), ask us which inlet your exact version has and what adapter or home charger you would need. For local approval of the charging equipment, ask your customs broker.
Software language and export versions
We supply the China version. Some models have overseas versions (the Zeekr 9X is sold in Europe), but that is not the car we export. Ask us about menu languages before you order.
Warranty and service
Warranty terms are set by the carmaker, and a China-market warranty may not apply in your country. CRAVEUO EV Export is an exporter, not a dealer: we do not provide after-sales service or warranty repairs. Before you pay, ask for the written warranty terms of your version and find a workshop near you that can service it. We have not verified spare-parts channels for these models in each country.
Is exporting these cars legal?
Yes, through a licensed exporter. Since 1 January 2026, pure-electric passenger cars need a MOFCOM export licence (Announcement 2025 No. 54). The car is declared for export by a licensed Chinese company, not by you. We name that company before you pay a deposit.
How inspection and payment work
- Version and colour. You choose the exact version, colour and delivery port or city.
- Written quote. We send a written quote with the price basis (FOB or CIF) and the expected schedule.
- Contract. You sign a contract that names the selling company and its bank account.
- VIN and video. Before any money moves, you receive the car's VIN and a walk-around video filmed the same day, with the VIN and the date visible.
- 30% deposit. You pay the deposit to the company account named in the contract.
- 70% balance before shipping. The balance is due before the car is shipped.
- Export declaration and bill of lading. The licensed exporter declares the car at Chinese customs, and you receive the export declaration and the bill of lading.
Pay only to the company account named in the contract. Never pay a person, and never pay an account whose name differs from the contract. Shipping times depend on the vessel schedule and customs, so we do not promise a delivery date.
Import duty and registration
Duty, tax and registration rules are set by your country. We have verified only a few countries (see our country guides). For anywhere else, ask your customs broker before you pay the balance. Buyers in Central Asia sign an end-user declaration, pay from a bank account in their own country, and get a contract that states the VIN.
CRAVEUO EV Export can quote the cars marked "Quote now" or "Ask us" — send your country, version and colour via the inquiry form.
