How we can help you find and import your next Electric Vehicle or fleet of EVs
Kiwis are used to doing things themselves. But when it comes to complicated and time consuming processes involved in sourcing and importing an electric vehicle why not leave it to us?
We provide a flexible service suited to your needs. We have negotiated trade rates, proven processes and excellent suppliers with specialist knowledge you can benefit from directly. We work for a service fee which is largely offset by our discounts and more importantly we take pride in our level of service, our responsiveness and our transparent way of doing business. If importing doesn’t make sense, we will tell you.
'UK Tax Free' purchases
We specialise in “UK tax free” purchases of “VAT qualifying” electric cars and vans. The UK equivalent of GST (VAT) is currently 20%. Certain categories of vehicles can be purchased VAT free. Along with this, we have many other tips to ensure you maximise your savings.
Sourcing
We have connections with several specialist EV suppliers in the UK. Let us know which make and model you need and we will ensure we get you the best vehicle available. We are independent service providers, so you know you will be getting honest, unbiassed pricing and opinions.
Shipping
We have worked hard to build a strong relationship with our preferred shipping agent and have negotiated highly competitive shipping rates which you benefit from directly and they in turn provide a level of service and care that we believe is hard to beat.
Compliance
We will ensure you car flies through MAF, customs and compliance procedures and keep you posted at each and every stage. We will arrange for navigation to be updated to NZ maps where needed and speedos changed to km/h. Finally we register your car, fit the plates, groom and deliver.
Delivery

Warranties
Some manufacturers offer a 2 year international warranty – valid from the date of first registration in the UK, however Nissan for example does not. We are also able to offer you Autosure Mechanical Breakdown policies designed for EVs. Please ask for a quote and ensure your purchase is protected. Service packs are not valid on imports.
