Electrifying the vehicle market

What you need to know
In light of this, and other recent developments, interest in EVs has grown considerably. We anticipate an increased demand for the purchase (and hence shipping) of these types of vehicles to Barbados so you’ll want to find the best deals on quality vehicles that suit both the island landscape and your lifestyle before even considering importing an EV.
What are the benefits?
The dependence on imported fossil fuels into Barbados puts a big strain on the local economy, not to mention on the natural environment. Purchasing and driving an EV helps to address these burdens and in fact is comparatively less expensive to charge electronically than to top up with gas or diesel. EVs also tend to be faster than fossil fueled cars, their connection to technology is more advanced, and the design is heralded as far more innovative. The small island of Barbados is considered the perfect location for EVs, with the average local trip amounting to a short travel distance it is unlikely one would be required to make frequent stops to recharge.
Who sells them?
Numerous manufacturers worldwide are now producing EVs, with companies in the United Kingdom, USA, Europe, and Asia – just to name a few. There are new and used EVs for sale online on a variety of safe and secure platforms (including the official brand websites) for you to browse at your leisure and make a carefully considered purchase.
