# Some Tesla vehicles in South Korea reported a maximum charging capacity of only 50%

> Recently, Tesla owners in South Korea reported that some models have a battery management system malfunction, limiting the maximum charging capacity to 50%, affecting normal use. Tesla's registration volume in South Korea has significantly increased, but the service system is lagging behind. The South Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has launched an investigation, and if defects are confirmed, a mandatory recall will be enforced, requiring Tesla to submit a rectification plan. The South Korean Ministry of Environment is considering revoking Tesla's electric vehicle subsidy eligibility

Recently, there have been continuous reports from Tesla owners in South Korea about malfunctions in the battery management system of certain models, resulting in the maximum charging capacity being limited to around 50%, severely affecting the normal use of the vehicles. Tesla's passive response has sparked strong dissatisfaction among consumers. It is reported that Tesla's vehicle registration in South Korea increased from 15,000 units in 2020 to 112,000 units in the first half of this year. In September of this year, Tesla's registration volume surged over 570% year-on-year, ranking first in the registration of imported cars in South Korea for three consecutive months, but the construction of its service system has lagged significantly. Currently, the South Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has launched an investigation and stated that once defects are confirmed, it will order a mandatory recall. Meanwhile, South Korea requested Tesla to submit a rectification plan last month, but has not received a response to date. Relevant personnel from the South Korean Ministry of Environment indicated that they are considering canceling Tesla's electric vehicle subsidy eligibility
