AMMAN — Jordan’s General
Association for Automobile Dealers and Traders of Automobile Parts has called
on government agencies to take legal measures to stop the phenomenon of
unregulated imports of electric cars that are not guaranteed and not recognized
by manufacturing companies.

This follows the recent decision of the
UAE government to temporarily halt the import of Chinese-made
Volkswagen electric cars, in response to Volkswagen's ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, and ID.6 models recalls worldwide due to a
battery defect.
In a statement on Thursday carried by
Khaberni, the association called on concerned government agencies to verify the
guarantees offered by some merchants on
Chinese-manufactured electric cars and
to protect consumers from fake guarantees that do not come with insurance cover
as stipulated by law and do not provide real protection for the rights of car
purchasers, especially regarding the provision of original spare parts and
legal software updates, not pirated ones.
Unapproved exportsThe association confirmed that some
electric cars have been imported from China through Chinese dealers without the
knowledge or approval of the manufacturers, who prohibit the export of these
cars outside of China.
These exported cars do not enjoy the
protection of the manufacturer’s warranty, and the manufacturer bears no
responsibility towards them and is not obligated to provide original parts or
software necessary for updates, or to carry out recalls later if the need
arises.
Investigation and legal measuresThe manufacturers of electric cars in China
are working with Chinese partners to investigate how these cars leaked outside
China in violation of their agreements, and all legal means are being taken to
prevent this phenomenon, both inside China and abroad, as seen in the United
Arab Emirates.
