SEOUL TO INSTALL OVER 100 EV CHARGERS TO PROMOTE ECO-FRIENDLY ELECTRIC VEHICLES

The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to install more than 100 EV charging points until the end of this year.
"We are establishing advanced operation system to compete with EV charging infrastructure established in other advanced cities," said Director Lee In-Keun for Air Quality Management Division at the government.
In an effort to promote the use of the eco-friendly vehicles, the city government is working to secure enough parking spaces to accommodate minimum two electric vehicles and at least one charging station at each of Seoul 25 district ("gu") offices.
In recognition that lack of EV charging facilities is the biggest challenge in promoting the eco-friendly vehicle, the city government, on May 28, signed a joint agreement with three large Seoul-based retailers.
