EV and hybrid exports from the UK are growing fast in 2026. Where demand is strongest, which models travel best, and the charging-infrastructure caveats.

Frequently asked questions

Can I ship an EV by RORO?

Most lines no longer accept EVs on RORO. Sealed container is now standard, with state of charge declared at 30-50%.

Does Tesla warranty transfer overseas?

Battery and drive unit warranty transfers in markets where Tesla has a service presence (UAE, Australia, most of Europe). Elsewhere, warranty is void on export.

Is exporting a used EV profitable in 2026?

Yes for Tesla Model Y and high-spec Polestar 2; marginal for older Leaf-class cars where battery degradation hurts resale.
