Weird question: Has anyone here heard of someone buying/importing an electric vehicle? I have a volt (since 2013…so can’t bring it with us) and we are thinking of getting an all electric SUV/pick up in a couple years to bring with us later to DR and set up a solar charging station…bonus is that it can act as back up generator for the house…just curious…

This is from another forum, from someone who imports vehicles for clients.

"I have 11 Nissan Leafs coming in June 25th for a client. They are part of a tourist project in the Punta Cana area and will have their own independent charging facility.

The DR is still lacking in charging infrastructure to make EV's viable for everyday intra island usage, but for short haul trips with independent charging systems at ones place of business or home, they are now viable.

With Ley 113-03 giving 50% tax reductions across the board, including first placa and ITBIS, and the range increasing with every model year, they are starting to get some attention in the DR.

And...

"Three points.

1. Quality home charging systems (Level 2) are now under $2,000 installed and the price continues to drop;

2. Having brought in 20 Nissan Leafs this year for a tourist project, I have been informed, via the owner of the project, that the politicos are already dividing up the country for charger installations and the jockeying as to whether they will be allowed at gas stations/propane stations (many owned by politicos) has begun.

3. The vast majority of daily driving does not require an intra day "fill up."
