Geely plans to launch its Polar Krypton Electric Car in South Korea in early 2026

Geely Auto plans to launch its first premium electric vehicle in South Korea as early as 2026, joining other Chinese automakers in challenging the South Korean market to compete with Hyundai Motor Co and Kia Motor Co, which dominate the market.

Geely Auto said its premium electric vehicle brand Polkrypton will open showrooms in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province by the end of next year, with local deliveries starting in the first quarter of 2026. While these plans have not been finalized, sources say Geely Auto’s first model to be released in South Korea may be the Polkrypton 001, an electric car that can travel 620 kilometers on a single charge.

Under a new regulation in South Korea, the government will give more subsidies to electric vehicles that use more recycled metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese. Although the new regulation is not very favorable for Chinese automakers who typically use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, they are still attracted to enter the Korean market.

On July 5, the European Commission formally imposed temporary countervailing duties on pure electric vehicles imported from China. Previously, the United States also imposed tariffs of up to 100 percent on imported electric vehicles made in China. Faced with this, Chinese carmakers are looking to grow in other markets. Byd is also preparing to launch its passenger cars in South Korea, while Chinese-made electric buses already account for about 40 per cent of the country’s electric bus fleet, according to Carisyou.

Geely Auto is not a completely unfamiliar name in the South Korean market. In 2022, Geely Auto acquired a 34 percent stake in Renault’s South Korean subsidiary, deepening cooperation between the two automakers in developing environmentally friendly models. Geely’s Polestar 4 electric SUV will go into production at Renault’s Busan plant in South Korea in the second half of 2025.

In addition, Geely Auto has also signed a battery development cooperation agreement with South Korea’s SK Group and a partnership with Posco International Inc. Signed an agreement to sell and service its commercial vehicles in South Korea.

Lee Hang-Koo, director of the Jeonbuk Automotive Convergence Technology Research Institute, said that in South Korea, “there is a market demand for high-end electric vehicles, as shown by Tesla’s success”. Tesla’s Model Y is the best-selling foreign model in South Korea so far this year. “Chinese electric vehicles have a lot of digital features” that appeal to South Korean consumers who love new technology, Mr Lee adds. Lee Hang-Koo also said that in the face of tariffs from Europe and the United States, Geely Auto may consider using Renault’s South Korean plant to produce electric vehicles for export

A new report by Amnesty International “reveals how the world’s leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers are not adequately demonstrating how they address human rights risks in their mineral supply chains, potentially leaving communities exposed to exploitation, health risks and environmental harm caused by the rapid expansion of mines required for the metals used in batteries.”

Here are some excerpts from the report:

As global demand for battery minerals soars, the report calls for car makers to identify and mitigate human rights risks in their supply chains such as forced evictions, health harms from environmental pollution, and abuse of Indigenous Peoples’ rights in countries where minerals are extracted such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Philippines.

“The huge rise in demand for the metals needed to make electric vehicle batteries is putting immense pressures on mining-affected communities,” said Amnesty’s International’s Secretary General, Agnès Callamard.

“The human rights abuses tied to the extraction of energy transition minerals are alarming and pervasive and the industry’s response is sorely lacking. Communities are suffering from forced evictions, health issues caused by pollution and difficulties accessing water. As demand for electric vehicles increases, manufacturers must ensure people’s human rights are respected.”

…

“Mining for the minerals used in electric vehicles can entail huge risks for people and the environment. Amnesty International’s previous research has shown how industrial cobalt is linked to forced evictions in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Car companies need to use their massive leverage as global minerals buyers to influence upstream mining companies and smelters to mitigate these human rights risks,” said Agnès Callamard.

In terms of supply chain mapping disclosures, companies like BYD, Geely Auto, Hyundai, General Motors, and Mitsubishi Motors scored the lowest, failing to provide detailed information about their supply chains. Furthermore, BYD does not disclose smelter, refiner, or mine site names. Geely Auto provided only general supplier locations without specifying mineral extraction sites.

Hyundai and Mitsubishi Motors demonstrated a similar lack of transparency, with no evidence of comprehensive supply chain mapping or mine site identification for cobalt, copper, lithium, and nickel, making it difficult for stakeholders to verify how these operations affect nearby communities.

This article covering the Beijing Auto Show, in the light of a protectionist American tariff on Chinese EV and cleantech imports, shows just how far China has surpassed Western automakers with both EVs and charging infrastructure, and why Western car brands (including Tesla) are largely not making an impact.

Western EVs are woefully underequipped, underdesigned, and unresponsive to the desires of the Chinese market. They’re actually selling cars there that look like the future concepts at Western auto shows; with ultra-widescreens, great UI, tight technology integration, longer range, better materials, and a better driving experience.
