Egypt Opens Its Borders To Electric Cars: Our Pick Of The 7 Popular Electric Cars To Import

The Egyptian government is looking towards a green future by paving the way for electric vehicles. Starting last month, Egypt allowed the import of electric cars under 3 years old. The new law is an about-face from the previous policy, which did not allow any used vehicles to be brought into the country. By opening up its borders, Egypt has access to the thriving US electric car market.

The new law aligns with the government’s goal of increasing use of renewable energy to 22% by 2020. While demand for electric cars in Egypt is just now picking up steam, local dealers expect to see over 10,000 electric cars on the streets of Egypt within 2 years. Which means more demand for electric cars from the US.

According to data provided by T&D World, the US is second behind China with over 750,000 electric cars on the road. These are cars which will end up in dealer and auction lots, with an increasing number of them going overseas.

These are the most popular used electric cars currently sold in the United States.
