Seoul - Post Report Question and Answers
What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?
I would not bring a large car. There are electric stations and Teslas these days, but not sure how many charging stations exist. Parking can be hard to find on streets, often using underground garages. I was fine not using a car at all, but my US navy boyfriend bought a cheap tiny car from someone leaving and that seemed to suffice. Korea has their own car brands so I assume parts are somewhat readily available. - Jan 2026
You absolutely must have a car on base. Unless you like to walk in 100 heat in summer and freezing temps in winter. - Jan 2025
