EV Industry in Korea

Korea does not produce a single drop of oil therefore the need for energy efficient vehicles and vehicles using alternative energy resources is an ongoing issue. As new, renewable energy technologies have become available, the government has begun promoting them.

Korea started EV development around 1988, the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute developed an EV prototype but it was not commercialized. The first EV in the market was KIA’s Ray EV launched in 2012. In 2013, Hyundai introduced the first hydrogen powered vehicle.  This was a result of the government's continuous investment and companies ongoing R&D.

The government started to promote environment friendly EVs in 2013 by providing financial support. The central government provides a subsidy of eight million KRW while the city government also provides five to eight million KRW. The registration tax is also exempt when purchasing an EV.

Korea EV industry has a great future. IRC Consulting will guide your way to successfully enter the Korean market.
