The government will begin supplying 350 kilowatt (kW) class ultra-fast chargers starting next year. The 350 kW charger can charge the battery of an electric vehicle capable of driving 400 km in about 20 minutes, so the charging speed of the electric vehicle is expected to improve dramatically.
In addition to the standalone slow chargers that have been built so far, various slow chargers, such as plugs and streetlights, are also being installed for demonstration purposes. The goal is to dramatically increase purchase demand by changing the mindset of potential electric car buyers who are hesitant to buy them due to charging issues.
The Ministry of the Environment announced on the 16th that, starting next year, more than 70 units of 350kW class ultra-fast chargers will be built in the main rest areas of the highways throughout the country through a public-private partnership. joint.
The super fast charger can charge 3 times faster than the fast charger. It takes about an hour to charge 80% of the battery of an electric vehicle capable of driving 400 km with a 100 kW class fast charger that has been installed so far.
The offer of slow chargers will also be expanded, focusing on residential areas and workplaces where users of electric vehicles stay for a long time. To this end, next year’s budget of 92.3 billion won will be invested.
A 220 volt (V) outlet in the built apartment is supplied with an outlet-type charger with billing function, and a streetlight type with an electric vehicle charger connected to the streetlight is installed in the residential area in connection with the priority parking area for residents.
Currently, there are a total of 62,789 common chargers installed across the country.
An official from the Ministry of Environment said: “It is not insufficient considering the supply of 13,430 electric vehicles, but it is mainly installed in public facilities where the land is easy to secure and the existing apartments lack chargers, which makes charging is inconvenient for the residents of the old town. “
According to the Korea Transportation Institute, since residents share common chargers located in apartment parking lots in Korea and charge them once every other day, the ratio of electric vehicles to chargers is roughly 2 to 1.
Consequently, the Ministry of the Environment plans to build around 1,600 fast chargers in high-access mobile stations, such as highway rest areas, national highway service stations, and urban service stations and charging stations. The plan is to improve the convenience of haptic charging by building more than 8,000 units of slow loaders primarily in residential areas and workplaces where they remain for a long time.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of the Environment and related organizations plan to jointly verify the installation plan by visiting the Eumseong rest area on Jungbu Highway, which is the construction site of the 350kW super fast charger on the 17th.
Hwang Seok-tae, head of the Living Environment Policy Division of the Ministry of Environment, said: “In the situation where electric vehicles and electric vehicle chargers are distributed at a certain level, it is important to build them in a suitable place, taking into account the characteristics of each type of charger and the distribution rate of electric vehicles “. “It’s time to actively work on building infrastructure.)
