I have always thought that South Korea is an ideal location for electric cars to be sold considering the short distances that are driven in the country:
GM Korea’s Chevrolet Bolt EV can travel 383 kilometers (239 miles) on one full charge, the longest distance among EV candidates that confirmed their debut in Korea next year. [GM KOREA]GM Korea, poised to launch the fully electric car Chevrolet Bolt EV early next year in Korea, confirmed Tuesday with the Ministry of Environment that its vehicle can travel 383 kilometers (239 miles) per charge.
It can now drive the longest distance with one full charge among the vehicles set to debut next year.
“Bolt EV is able to travel from Seoul to Busan with one charge,” said James Kim, president and CEO of GM Korea. “It is going to change the paradigm of Korea’s EV market.”
The retail price has not been revealed. Its U.S. price is an estimated $37,500 before tax incentives. [Joong Ang Ilbo]
