According to reports, Kim Min-sun, a 48-year-old Seoul resident, originally wanted to buy a Hyundai Casper electric car, but the long wait for delivery made her change her mind. In July of this year, she bought a BYD Dolphin for about $18,500. Chinese electric vehicles are gradually opening up the Korean market. The report quoted data from market research agency Carisyou as saying that in the first three quarters of this year, BYD registered more than 20,000 new cars in South Korea, more than Toyota and Lexus combined. Lee Il-il, an analyst at South Korea's Eugene Investment Securities, believes that BYD has captured the growing demand for affordable electric vehicles in the region.
