This study collected annual global EV import and export statistics from 2017 to 2022 to analyze the changes in the export competitiveness of major EV-producing countries in the European market. The data of 32 European countries, including EU member states, were recalculated, and the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Comparative Advantage by Country (CAC), and Trade Specialization Index (TSI) were derived to analyze changes in the export competitiveness of major EV-exporting countries. After reviewing the r esults o f this s tudy, we f ound that Germany and Korea maintained h ig h competitiveness in the European market. However, the United States and France, which had high export competitiveness, showed a significant decline in export performance. In contrast, China, Belgium, and Japan showed improved export performance compared with 2017, and China and Belgium showed very high growth. When examining the strategies of competing EV countries, it is judged that, for Korea’s EV industry to improve its competitiveness, it is necessary to develop low-priced models that can compete with Chinese EV companies and pursue a more active export market diversification strategy. In addition, Korean automobile companies need to expand their production bases in Europe, such as the major global automobile companies that utilize Belgium and Germany as their main production bases, to actively target the European market.
