BYD Ato3 government subsidies confirmed..How many 1,000 contracted customers will be released

As government subsidies for electric vehicles 'Ato3', which BYD Korea first launched in Korea earlier this year, were confirmed last week, how much delivery it will actually receive among more than 1,000 pre-contract customers has emerged as an industry concern.
With the highest-end plus trim expected to be 33.3 million won, 2 million won in electric vehicle subsidies for Seoul residents, the Ato 3 can be purchased in the early 30 million won range, exceeding 1,000 pre-contracts a week after its launch.
Last week, the Ministry of Environment announced the government subsidy of BYD Ato3 at 1.45 million won to the integrated Nuri house for pollution-free vehicles. There is still a process for evaluating local government subsidies, but it is only an arithmetic formula, so customer delivery is expected to be possible as early as this weekend.
In the case of the metropolitan area, the total subsidy is estimated to be in the mid to late 2 million won range. In this case, Aoto 3 Plus Trim (33.3 million won), which has more than 90% of contractors, can be purchased at the early 30 million won range. In some provinces where local government subsidies are high, they will be lowered to the late 20 million won range.
BYD Korea joined the Korea Import Car Association in March, which produces sales statistics for imported cars. In March, Ato3 sales were only 10 units, including dealer test-drive vehicles. In fact, all pre-contract customers are waiting for subsidies to be confirmed.
The Ministry of Environment explained that the delay in determining the Ato3 subsidy did not receive the subsidy because Ato3 did not enter the evidence related to the SoC (State of Charge).
The related provisions are listed in the 「2025 Electric Vehicle Subsidy Business Guidelines」 published by the Ministry of Environment earlier this year. Electric vehicles wishing to receive subsidies must provide SoC information in real time during charging. If not provided, the safety factor items cannot be processed with zero points and all subsidies are not paid.
Regarding the reason for the delay in the confirmation of the Ato3 subsidy at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show on the 3rd, Liu She-ryang, head of BYD Asia-Pacific, said, "It took time because it was the first time for the Korean market to satisfy the demands of related government agencies as much as possible."

BYD Korea said last month that it would provide a 300,000 won charging credit if it made a pre-contract and shipped out after a series of contract termination due to delayed confirmation of subsidies" was sent to SNS.
BYD seal
With the confirmation of the Ato3 subsidy, BYD Korea has entered into a pre-contract for a mid-sized electric sedan SEAL. Seal sales are expected to be 47.5 million won to 52.5 million won (price after eco-friendly car tax benefits).
