How it works
The real gap between EV and gas ownership only shows up once you add tax, fuel/charging, and consumables together. EVs pay a flat vehicle tax (130k KRW) while gas cars pay a displacement-based tax with an age discount, plus consumables like engine oil.
FAQ
Q. Why does the fast/slow charging mix matter?
A. Fast charging costs much more per kWh than slow charging, so a higher fast-charging share raises your annual bill significantly.
Q. How is the gas car's vehicle tax calculated?
A. It uses a per-cc rate by displacement band, adds a 30% education tax, then applies a 5%/year discount from year 3 (capped at 50%).
