The test drive vehicle was transferred to the company. The metal parts had their original paint, but the plastic parts and easily damaged components could not be inspected. The battery pack protective plate had scratches, and there were signs of disassembly and adjustment of the battery pack. The rear bumper had been repainted.
This is considered a force majeure risk. We will require the vehicle's state of charge (SOC) to be maintained in a safe dormant range of 30%-50% before loading, and we will insure you for all marine risks under CIF terms. If the battery suffers thermal runaway total loss due to abnormal cargo hold temperatures, the insurance company will compensate.
For older vehicles or those used in high temperature and humidity areas, we will focus on opening the hood to check if the insulation of the wiring harness in the high-temperature area of the engine compartment is cracked or brittle, to identify potential short circuit risks that could lead to spontaneous combustion.
Our bulk discounts are not simply calculated by the number of units, but by shipping batches. Typically, consolidating enough for a 40-foot container (which can hold 2-3 vehicles, depending on size) can waive some logistics fees; purchasing more than 5 units at once triggers tiered discounts.
