How to verify a Chinese EV manufacturer?
Short answer:
Vetting a Chinese EV manufacturer or exporter.
Verify a manufacturer or exporter by checking whether they quote a real ex-factory price for a specific model, confirm factory availability, provide documents and battery papers, and act through a verifiable company.
Checks
- Real quote and availability.
- Documents: invoice, bill of lading, certificate of origin, UN38.3.
- Company details and safe payment channel.
Red flags
No documents, prices far below market, pressure to pay a personal account. Ask about verification.
