South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to establish separate vehicle inspection standards for electric and eco-friendly vehicles, distinct from internal combustion engine cars. The amendment will also require automakers to submit battery diagnostic data before new model sales begin to prevent delays in inspections.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to adapt your EV product compliance ahead of Korea's new inspection rules that mandate earlier submission of battery diagnostics. Delays in providing this data risk blocking your model from market access in Korea.
