Generational differences were stark, with 100% acceptance among those in their 20s and 85.4% for those in their 30s, while acceptance rates dropped significantly for those 50 and older.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"5\">The primary motivators for EV consideration were lower charging costs compared to gas (62.5%), government incentives (41.3%), and tax benefits (32.7%).<\/p>\n<p refid=\"6\">However, concerns persisted about charging infrastructure (45.3%), safety issues including fire risks (34.9%), charging times (32.8%), and battery longevity and replacement costs (32.3%). Notably, 67% of respondents viewed the 2026 EV subsidy policy as influential, with 37.9% citing some impact and 29.6% indicating a significant impact.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"7\">Regarding Chinese EV brands, 38.6% expressed interest but low confidence in reliability. While price competitiveness (64.3%) was the main attraction, concerns centered on quality and durability (63.2%), inadequate after-sales service networks (60.6%), and safety and battery fire risks (54.2%).<\/p>\n<p refid=\"8\">Looking ahead, respondents prioritized safety standards (26.7%) in autonomous vehicles, followed by software update capabilities (23.8%), self-driving technology levels (21.7%), and technology over brand reputation (18.0%).<\/p>\n<p refid=\"9\">Only 7.2% anticipated no change in vehicle selection criteria, indicating a widespread belief that autonomous driving tech will reshape purchasing factors. For advanced self-driving features like FSD, 76.5% were willing to pay extra, with 40.5% preferring a price range of 3 million KRW to 5 million KRW (2,250 to 3,750 USD).<\/p>\n<p refid=\"10\">A Chabot Mobility spokesperson noted, &#8220;EVs are becoming practical alternatives as buyers consider long-term savings beyond environmental benefits. While Chinese EV brands are gaining attention for competitive pricing, establishing trust in quality, after-sales support, and safety will be crucial for their market success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div
