This year, under the strong dominance of Tesla and intense catch-up by major brands, the imported electric vehicle market in South Korea ushered in unprecedented prosperity. Some of the leading brands have achieved their annual sales targets ahead of schedule, while others have drastically raised their performance indicators to meet strong demand. Affected by the double impact of high oil prices and rising expectations in the autonomous driving technology market, industry observers believe that the popularity of this market is expected to continue until next year. South Korea's imported electric vehicle market is growing rapidly, driven by Tesla. The cumulative sales volume from January to August of this year was 114,401 units, a year-on-year increase of 114.0%. Among them, Tesla sold 76,776 units, accounting for 67%, an increase of 122.3% over the previous year. BYD and Polestar have also achieved impressive increases; sales of electric models from various brands, such as BMW's new iX3, have also risen steadily.
