Buying an electric car is now one of the most popular discussions in our country as well. More and more drivers recognize the advantages of electric mobility, such as the extremely low cost of use, the absence of traffic fees and the leading technology.
However, anyone who starts looking for a used electric vehicle in Greece quickly faces a major obstacle: the very limited domestic market and high prices. For this reason, the import of electric car from abroad —and especially from Germany— is today the smartest and most advantageous solution.
Why is Germany the "paradise" of electric vehicles?;
The German market is many years ahead of the curve in adopting electric vehicles. This creates three huge advantages for the Greek buyer:
-
Endless variety of models: There are tens of thousands of used electric cars available on European platforms at any given time. This means you can find exactly the model you want, in the color you want and with the premium equipment package that is rarely available in Greece.
-
Rapid fleet renewal (Leasing): Most companies and individuals in Germany replace their electric cars every 3 to 4 years. As a result, the market is flooded with «fresh» vehicles, in excellent condition, that still have their factory battery warranty active.
-
Competitive prices: Due to the huge supply, the prices of used electric cars in Germany are significantly lower than the Greek market.
The big advantage in customs clearance: Zero or minimal duties
If there is one sector that the import of electric cars literally "sweeps", it is customs clearance.
The Greek state, in the context of promoting green mobility, provides huge incentives. Pure electric vehicles (BEV) are completely exempt from the registration fee. This means that the biggest "puzzle" of importation —which in conventional cars depends on the LPG— is eliminated here, making the final import cost completely predictable and low.
What to look out for before buying (Battery health)
Despite the great benefits, buying a used electric vehicle also has its own peculiarities. The most crucial point is the battery (State of Health – SoH), which is also the most expensive component of the car.
Before making any purchase, it is necessary:
-
To perform a SoH (State of Health) check: A qualified mechanic abroad must connect the car to a diagnostic to issue a certificate for the actual capacity and health of the battery.
-
Factory warranty check: Most manufacturers offer an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty on the battery. It is important to choose vehicles that are still covered by this.
