In South Korea, the Ministry of Environment's budget for the upcoming year revealed a mix of fortunes for electric and hydrogen cars. While the budget for electric vehicles saw a decrease, with reduced subsidies per vehicle and a shift towards differential subsidies based on vehicle functions, the budget for hydrogen cars experienced a significant increase. The government allocated 1.5218 trillion won for electric vehicles, aiming to provide subsidies to 260,000 units, with a reduced subsidy amount per vehicle. On the other hand, the subsidy budget for hydrogen cars increased to 721.8 billion won, supporting the supply of 11,000 vehicles next year. Hydrogen vehicles are expected to receive a boost, partially due to Hyundai Motor's plans to release the 'Nexo 2nd Generation.' Despite challenges with increasing insolvency of pollution-free vehicles, the government aims to address the issue and enhance budget efficiency. Representative Cho emphasized the importance of continuous government efforts and support in expanding the supply of pollution-free cars while managing budget constraints effectively.
