EV Hub Counts the Real Cost of a Chinese EV
A database and landed-cost calculator for estimating what Chinese electric vehicles may cost after freight, duties, VAT, certification, and registration.
Field notes
EV Hub organizes Chinese EV import costs into three visible layers: CIF price, duties and VAT, and certification or registration. Its homepage lists 315 vehicles across 58 brands, with Germany examples showing substantial differences between factory and estimated landed prices—for instance, a BYD Qin Plus at $11,080 becomes $23,569. The site also cites 10% standard import duty and producer-specific countervailing duties ranging from 17% to 35.3%, while presenting export quotes as a separate contact-led service.
