S. Korea's EV adoption rate reaches 9.3% in 2023

SEOUL -- Data released by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport revealed that approximately nine percent of newly purchased vehicles in South Korea in 2023 were electric vehicles. As of now, there are over 200,000 EV chargers installed across the country, indicating a ratio of two EVs for every charger.

South Korea mandates that new buildings constructed after January 28, 2022, allocate at least five percent of their total parking spaces for EV chargers. Similarly, older apartments with more than 50 parking spaces are required to convert a minimum of two percent of their parking lot into EV charging and parking spaces.
