South Korea December 2014 (Draft Edition)



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?

  1. Well, The concept of the electric car is awesome. I completely agree with this post. But, still in European countries demanding for used cars. I would like to share a best source of used cars in London, UK i.e Honda Jazz & Japan Car Imports

  2. Hello. I think there is a mistake as accordingly to the tab, 30 Nissan Leaf have been sold in December but only 22 for the whole year.

  6. Renault Fluence ZE, produced at Bursa, Turkey was discontinued, but Renault Samsung SM3 ZE is still produced at Busan in South Korea. But basically it's the same car.
