AliExpress has announced a major expansion of its e-commerce offerings. The company revealed that it will soon allow customers to purchase electric vehicles (EVs) directly through its platform. This service will launch in June during the AliExpress Summer Sale.
The move marks a significant milestone for global e-commerce. It also aligns with the UAE’s Vision 2031, which focuses on sustainability and improved quality of life.
Initially, this service will be available only in the UAE. However, AliExpress reported plans to expand to other GCC markets in the future.
The vehicles will be shipped from China via sea freight. Customers will be able to browse and purchase EVs using the Big Save Channel on AliExpress.
• Brands expected to be available include BYD, Geely, Jetour, and Toyota
• Customers can expect significant savings and a streamlined buying experience
AliExpress stated that this initiative will simplify access to the latest brand-name EVs. It is also designed to promote eco-conscious choices across various income levels.
The UAE’s electric vehicle market is growing rapidly. Government incentives and infrastructure investments are fueling this rise. Currently, over 70,000 EVs are on the roads. That number is expected to reach 100,000 by 2027.
The platform’s 15 years of e-commerce experience support this new offering. According to AliExpress, the service will offer customers transparency, convenience, and affordability.
Many residents are turning to electric vehicles for their environmental benefits. These include zero emissions, lower air pollution, and reduced operating costs.
AliExpress reported that this innovative step will support sustainable mobility in the UAE. It also enhances the company’s role in transforming how consumers buy big-ticket items online.
