Tesla Model 3 Is The Top-Selling EV In South Korea

Hyundai Nexo hydrogen fuel cell model would be third, if we compared it with plug-ins.

South Korea noted a slight 7% increase in plug-in electric car sales during the first seven months of this year, to 22,054, achieving an average market share of 2%.

According to the latest EV Sales Blog‘s report, Tesla Model 3 remains the best-selling electric car in the country, noticeably exceeding the locally manufactured models, although its share in the EV segment deteriorated from a dominant 45% to (still very high) 31% (at least partially because of the limited supplies, we guess).

In total, some 6,888 Model 3 were registered, compared to 5,120 Hyundai Kona Electric and 2,315 Kia Niro EV (e-Niro). The Chevrolet Bolt EV noted 1,357 units. Relatively strong was also the plug-in hybrid BMW 530e with 1,168 units.
