SEOUL -- Joe Biden's win in the U.S. presidential election is giving a lift to South Korean electric vehicle battery makers as investors bet his green policy will help them expand in the American market.

Analysts say South Korean battery makers are in a favorable position compared to their Chinese rivals, as Washington-Beijing tensions are expected to continue under Biden's presidency. South Korean, Chinese and Japanese companies are the leaders in the fast-growing global market for EV batteries.
