What electric cars does

Electric Cars is a private B2B distribution platform that exports Chinese-manufactured electric and combustion engine vehicles to professional dealerships in emerging and frontier markets. Headquartered in Xian, Shaanxi Province, China, the company sources vehicles from at least 13 Chinese OEMs — including BYD, VW, Zeekr, Geely, Chery, GAC, Nissan, BMW, Toyota, Changan, SAIC, Wuling, and Dongfeng — and supplies them to dealers across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Africa (Ethiopia, Nigeria), and South America (Venezuela, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia). The company has delivered over 6,000 electric vehicles in roughly four years of operation and operates through regional directors and country-level business development managers, with Electric Dragon LLC as a related entity covering Ethiopia and Paraguay.

The core product is multi-brand vehicle sourcing and supply, delivered with turnkey logistics from Chinese factories to dealers' preferred regional ports. Supporting services include document preparation and customs compliance, vehicle inspection, verification, and in-transit insurance, dealer staff training on Chinese vehicles, spare parts and diagnostic equipment supply, and co-marketing support. The company does not develop proprietary vehicle technology; its value is in supply chain orchestration, manufacturer access, and the bundling of after-sales enablement for dealers in markets where direct Chinese OEM presence is limited. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with partners submitting requests specifying make, model, year, and region.

The revenue model is hardware distribution margin on vehicle sales, with additional implied revenue from value-added services (training, parts, compliance, marketing). Go-to-market is exclusively indirect: the company deliberately limits the number of dealership partners per region to maintain market exclusivity for its dealers. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, operates with 11-50 employees, and uses a Belarusian web domain (electriccars.by) despite its Chinese operational base, reflecting the international and multi-entity corporate structure described on its site.

Direct peers

• Bossway International: China-headquartered multi-brand vehicle exporter that sources and ships Chinese passenger vehicles to overseas dealer networks — directly comparable business model and customer base to Electric Cars.

Broad incumbents

• BYD: Largest Chinese EV OEM and a featured brand in Electric Cars' portfolio. BYD is building its own overseas dealer and assembly footprint (Brazil, Hungary, Southeast Asia), making it both a supplier and a structural threat as it disintermediates third-party exporters.
• Geely Auto: Major Chinese OEM group (Geely, Lynk & Co, Zeekr) with growing direct export operations. Like BYD, it is both a brand Electric Cars distributes and an increasingly direct competitor for end-dealer relationships.
• Chery Automobile: Chinese OEM with one of the largest overseas footprints among Chinese brands, including dedicated export entities. Electric Cars lists Chery as a partner; Chery's own international arm competes for the same emerging-market dealers.
• MG Motor (SAIC Motor): SAIC-owned brand with a large existing dealer base across the Middle East, South America, and Europe. Featured in Electric Cars' brand list, but SAIC/MG also operates its own direct export channel, creating the same supplier-vs-competitor dynamic.
• Inchcape plc: London-listed global automotive distributor representing multiple OEMs across emerging markets, including parts of Africa, Asia, and South America. Comparable in distribution function but operates at significantly larger scale and with broader product coverage.
• Marubeni Corporation: Japanese general trading company with a long-established automotive distribution business across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Comparable at the level of multi-region vehicle distribution to dealers, though at vastly greater scale and brand diversity.

Emerging players

• Tospino: Morocco-headquartered cross-border e-commerce and auto-trading platform focused on North and West Africa. Smaller and earlier-stage than Electric Cars, but targets the same dealer/retailer customer base in Africa with a similar China-sourcing angle.

Others

• Autochek: Pan-African automotive fintech and marketplace operating across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and other African markets. Not a direct B2B exporter, but operates in the same dealer ecosystem and end markets Electric Cars serves in Africa.
• Carmudi: Emerging-markets online vehicle marketplace with presence in South/Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but intersects with Electric Cars' dealer customer base in target regions.
