The announcement was made yesterday by the Coordinating Minister of Production, Richard Espinosa, under the signature of an agreement between the ministry and the companies Automotores y Anexos, Kia and BYD, for promotion, marketing and the manufacture of electric cars in the country.

“Zero percent tariff, zero percent VAT … ICE zero percent, zero percent of everything and also … there is no limit for the import of electric vehicles,” said Espinosa.

Santiago Muñoz, Business Development Manager of the BYD brand, expected they could start selling the E6 model with 5 doors, from China, in the second half of 2015.
