Personal import of electric vehicles has been gaining momentum in recent years. More and more people are discovering the convenience of driving an electric vehicle. There are two main reasons why people drive an electric vehicle, the first reason is due to concern for the environment and the desire to help the planet. The second reason is a practical reason and is the desire to save money, meaning that in an electric vehicle we do not have to pay for fuel. Sometimes the two reasons combine and go hand in hand. The reason is less important, but we see that in recent years the trend of driving in electric cars has been gaining momentum in Israel and more and more people are choosing to do so.

Personal import of an electric vehicle – is it different from personal import of a regular vehicle?

Due to the fact that this is a major trend, the question arises whether personal import of an electric vehicle is different from personal import of a regular vehicle. Should we do things differently? The Ministry of Transportation’s procedure is different for inspecting an electric vehicle than for inspecting a regular vehicle, and we must take this into account when we choose to import an electric vehicle. In addition, the taxation issue is also different because personal import of an electric vehicle is much cheaper in terms of taxation than importing a non-electric vehicle. This is due to the state’s desire to encourage driving in electric vehicles and the state’s understanding of how important it is to encourage people to drive in electric vehicles.
