[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Sorry, missed the EV part. True, although there is a Japanese kei EV. Not sure if you can import it or what the price is though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Sakura permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cort@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) I think you missed the point again. That's only 2 years old. They need to be 25+ to be easily imported into the US. Otherwise you'll pay tariffs and they'd be subjected to the same safety tests required for new vehicles sold in America. It's only because they're 25+ years old that they aren't subjected to the standard rules on imports. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) That would be why I said I wasn't sure if you could import it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago That's fair, it probably wouldn't be importable (until 2047) since it likely wouldn't pass the fmv safety tests. I just wanted to stress that the loophole that allows them to be imported requires the vehicle to be 25+ years old. permalink fedilink source parent
