On most cars the VIN is visible at the base of the windscreen (driver side) and on a label in the driver-side door opening; check your registration document too.

China-spec vs export-spec

The same car is sold as Destroyer 05, Chazor, King and Seal 5 DM-i depending on the market. In China the Seal 05 DM-i replaced it and the two may not share every part. Battery size and power output differ by variant. Charging inlets differ by market: China-spec cars use the GB/T standard and export versions are built for the destination market. Send the VIN.
