China EV Marketplace is launching a door-to-door delivery service for European buyers, allowing customers to buy road-legal Chinese BEVs and PHEVs and have the cars delivered to their homes.
The move removes the need for consumers to handle customs clearance or collect vehicles at port, streamlining a process that has deterred some cross-border buyers. It also shortens delivery times.
In a report by CarNewsChina, China EV Marketplace said it would halt shipments to the United States after punitive tariffs crushed demand, with fewer than 30 vehicles sold this year — mostly for benchmarking fleets — according to the firm.
CarNewsChina cited the company’s chief operating officer Jakub Gersl as saying that the European service is intended to cut import friction and broaden access to Chinese EVs.
The platform, which bills itself as the largest e-commerce outlet for Chinese EVs, reported 7,000 unit sales in the first half, up 66% year-on-year.
Growth was led by plug-in hybrids, which are not subject to the European Union’s additional duties of up to 35% that now apply to many battery-electric models.
Extended-range EVs (EREVs) have also been hit because Brussels treats them like BEVs; EREVs are effectively electric cars with a combustion engine that works solely as a generator rather than driving the wheels.
The company’s push comes as Chinese brands gain traction across Europe.
Jato Dynamics data show registrations by Chinese automakers rose 111% in May to 65,808 units, lifting their share to 5.9% from 2.9% a year earlier.
China EV Marketplace said the European rollout aims to shorten delivery times and provide clearer, end-to-end logistics as tariff pressures reshape buyer preferences.
