I don’t think necessarily. For example, I know I can register certain electric motorcycles as street legal in the US (maybe just certain states?) without undergoing any kind of inspection. I’ve also seen people import “crate” electric vehicles that can be plated through certain clauses.
I’m not sure what EU regulations are like comparatively.
I think generally, if the car is a make and model that has previously passed inspections, they don’t need to be re-inspected? For instance, you don’t generally run into a situation where your ford focus is inspected, because that make and model is already “well known” so to speak.
I think generally you are correct, but I’m wondering if they are going through the “normal” certification process or utilizing some potential loophole.
We need to find one of these people and interview them! 😜
