Kia Edition
There were 856 electric cars sold in SK last year, a new record, pulling the EV Share slightly up from 0,05% to 0,06%.
Looking at the possible YTD ranking, Kia wins by a long shot, with 57% share, with the Soul EV succeeding to overcome the thought dead #2 Samsung SM3 EV and earn the Best Seller Trophy, with the BMW i3 winning a rather surprising #4, while the other Kia model (Ray EV) ends in #3 its last year on the market.
A final mention for the Nissan Leaf, registering 30 units in December, will the japanese car gain traction in South Korea and become a relevant player?
