How EV Shipping Restrictions Could Impact International Relocation

From Signature Relocation

August 04, 2025

Press Release

Over 14 million EVs were sold globally last year. Hybrid sales in North America are set to exceed 8 million.

In recent events, a primary ocean carrier has fully suspended the transportation of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles due to concerns about lithium-ion batteries.

If your team is managing international moves, this could impact timelines and planning.

Signature Relocation is closely monitoring developments, as this has become a formal response to an incident that resulted in a total ship loss.

Other carriers have not yet followed suit, but many are actively re-evaluating their policies. Reach out if you would like to stay ahead of the changes at 877.373.0691.
