French electric vehicle manufacturer Mia Electric is preparing to enter the South Korean electric vehicle (EV) market after its exclusive distributor for the Asia-Pacific region, Mia Electric Asia, established a local import and distribution subsidiary.
The French company is upbeat about its prospects in South Korea, claiming its products are very competitive compared with other EVs produced locally. The company is particularly encouraged by the generous government incentives offered in key areas of the country, including Jejudo island in the south.
