EVs on path to overcome chasm in Korea

Korea's electric vehicle market is showing signs of overcoming a major hurdle in its adoption. This "chasm" refers to the point at which a new technology or product gains widespread acceptance and becomes a mainstream choice. The increasing demand for lower-cost EV models and rising fuel expenses are making EVs more attractive to consumers, which is a key factor in their growing popularity. As a result, concerns over resale values are easing, a longstanding obstacle to mass adoption, and this could support further growth in the market.
