Any hope of bringing this 2022 EV in VAT-free from the North?
I've bought a used (2022) EV from Charles Hurst Belfast. I didn't realise they had brought it in from England. I subsequently asked them for proof that they brought it in under the Windsor Framework.
They sent me the invoice for when they bought it. So they bought it on January 15. I bought the car from them on March 31. I've asked them for a copy of the customs declaration lodged in NI but they aren't forthcoming with this.
Will I have any hope of bringing this in VAT free?

Can I bring an EV into Ireland from England via the North?
I'm interested in buying an EV in England. Is it just a case of buying it in England and transporting it to NI and getting my mate to register it in NI, then after three months I can import to Ireland with zero VRT and VAT?

Does the Toyota Aygo X hybrid have 12-volt battery problems?
Has the new Toyota Aygo X overcome the 12-volt battery problem of the Yaris which goes flat if you only do short journeys? This is a nightmare for low-mileage users.
