The result changes with grade, cab, powertrain or factory option.

What must be checked for fuel or charging compatibility?

Treat the inlet, AC phases, DC protocol, battery capacity, thermal system and displayed range cycle as one matched electrical configuration. Confirm the exact fuel specification or inlet, voltage and phase support, onboard charging limits, public protocol, cold- or hot-weather behavior and the destination workshop’s ability to diagnose the quoted configuration. The buyer should retain the dated source, VIN-linked document and seller response so the answer can be checked again at delivery. Driveline and transmission: RWD / AWD. The result changes with grade, cab, powertrain or factory option.

How should total landed cost be compared?

Compare one written total that includes purchase, inland transport, inspection, freight, insurance, port costs, duty, tax, brokerage, storage, compliance work, registration and initial maintenance. Keep a contingency for configuration-specific parts. The buyer should retain the dated source, VIN-linked document and seller response so the answer can be checked again at delivery.
