Technical FAQs 4

Does South Korea have a battery industry?

But South Korea’s battery industry faces mounting pressure from China, whose manufacturers, led by CATL, currently account for nearly 90 percent of global energy storage battery capacity. CATL expanded its footprint in January by establishing a South Korean subsidiary, signaling an aggressive push into the local market.

Why did the US import EV batteries from Korea?

The United States imported a record volume of EV batteries from Korea in the first six months of the year, marking a quadruple-digit on-year surge, as it seeks to reduce reliance on China amid ongoing tariff rows.

Why are South Korea's EV battery makers moving to North America?

South Korea’s battery makers, including LG Energy Solution and SK On, have been squeezed by waning EV subsidies and shifting demand, prompting a strategic pivot toward North America, where demand for grid storage is accelerating.

Will South Korea install 540 megawatts of battery energy storage systems?

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy unveiled plans for a nationwide tender to install 540 megawatts of battery energy storage systems (BESS), marking the country's first major government-led deployment of its kind. The project is part of a broader effort to modernize South Korea’s power grid and support the transition to renewable energy.
