Besta EV was Korea’s first and the world’s third electric vehicle. Specially developed for the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Seoul Olympics, it was used as a marathon broadcast vehicle—quietly running without emissions. Long before eco-friendly cars became a global focus, Besta EV proved the early potential of electric mobility.
