Chinese EV and Car Export Inquiries — 36 Buyer Requests, May–September 2026

The requests

What these requests have in common

Reading the 36 requests together, a few patterns stand out — useful for any buyer preparing a similar inquiry:

• Model-specific demand. Most buyers name an exact model (Geely EX2, EX5, Coolray, Starray; Zeekr 7X, 9X, X, 8X; Jetour X50; Farizon vans; Riddara RD6), often with a trim or colour. Availability for export changes quickly, so quotations are normally valid only for days.
• Right-hand drive. Buyers in the UK, Cyprus, Seychelles, Kenya and Malaysia asked specifically for RHD. Not every model or trim is built in RHD, which is the first thing to confirm.
• Documents for registration. Requests from Montenegro and the Middle East asked for an EU Certificate of Conformity (CoC) or equivalent certification documents. Without the right homologation paperwork, registration at destination can be difficult or impossible.
• Named ports and Incoterms. Several buyers asked for CIF prices to a named port (Annaba, Arica, Bar) or for shipping to Dakar, while others asked for FOB prices.
• Fleet vs private buyers. Requests ranged from single vehicles for personal use to fleets for taxi and ride-hailing operations, where commercial-use battery warranty becomes a key question.

What to include in your own request

To get a usable quotation quickly, send: the exact model, trim, drive side and colour; quantity; destination country and port; Incoterm (FOB or CIF); which registration documents you need (CoC, type approval, certificate of origin); and whether the vehicle is for private or commercial use. Our guide to Importing Electric Vehicles from China explains homologation, RHD availability, shipping and landed cost, and First China Order: Incoterms, Payment Terms and Deposit Protection covers payment protection.

About supplier matching

For Geely and Zeekr requests, the directory lists one relevant export supplier, FOBEV (Geely and Zeekr export, Shanghai), whose listing covers the Geely Starray EM-i, EX5, EX2, Galaxy L7, Coolray, Emgrand and Zeekr 007; it is shown as a matching directory listing, not as a supplier that has quoted or fulfilled these requests. For other car brands, the directory mainly lists light-EV manufacturers (electric motorcycles, scooters and tricycles), so no directory supplier is shown. Light-EV buyers can see the Importing Electric Vehicles from China guide and the EV industry page. Passenger-car requests are handled case by case through CifyChina's WhatsApp desk.
