To apply for the subsidy, applicants must sign a contract for the vehicle and then submit an online application through the 'Zero-Emission Vehicle Subsidy Support System' via the manufacturer or dealer.
Wi Namhwan, head of the Environmental Water Quality Management Division, stated, "Electric vehicles are eco-friendly vehicles that do not emit carbon dioxide, exhaust fumes, or fine dust, which are major contributors to air pollution. We hope for your active interest and applications, and we will continue to strive for fine dust reduction and the realization of carbon neutrality."
