Importer considerations:

ONVO requires a vehicle, battery-asset, software and infrastructure programme rather than a vehicle-only import. Freeze model year, battery and BaaS status, swap interface, charger, compute, sensors, software and country services; complete vehicle, crash, battery, charging, radio, cybersecurity, software-update and privacy approvals; and resolve app, connectivity, data, subscription, diagnostics, high-voltage service, parts and recall access.

Commercial evaluation path:

Select one homologated L60, L80 or L90 configuration and its exact owned-battery or BaaS route. Validate conformity, crash, battery, charging, swap, software and privacy files; test local charging, app, OTA, diagnostics and roadside workflows; provision trained high-voltage and collision service, battery quarantine and critical parts; and contract battery asset, subscription, data, charger or swap outage, warranty, field-action and vehicle, battery or infrastructure recall ownership before launch.
