Geely’s upmarket EV brand Zeekr Intelligent Technology Holding Ltd., which went public in the US in May, will open showrooms in Seoul and Gyeonggi, the province surrounding the capital, by the end of next year and start deliveries in the first quarter of 2026, Geely said in an emailed response to questions from Bloomberg News.
