EV’s Now Make 9.3% of All New Cars Sales in South Korea

Korea is one of the places in the world where EV’s actually make sense due to the shorter distances between cities:

Electric cars accounted for 9.3 percent of newly purchased cars in South Korea last year, data showed Monday, hovering above that of other major counterparts, including the United States and Japan.

The electric vehicles (EVs) took up 162,507 of 1.74 million cars sold in South Korea in 2023, according to the data compiled by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The ratio marked a significant rise from just 1.9 percent tallied in 2019.

Coal-powered cars are great! Especially because those batteries require materials pulled from strip mines in countries that still use child labor in toxic environments.

Oh, wait. You think the electricity comes from sunshine and wind?

That’s so special…

Electric cars, electric trains, electric subway, electric scooters.

The ROK is living the electric dream.

When will we see electric planes at Gimpo, Incheon and Osan?
