View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) and SK Rent-a-Car announced on the 26th that they have signed a 'Electric Vehicle New Service Cooperative Development Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)' to develop electric rental car charging services.
According to the agreement, KEPCO will provide corporate charging services to SK Rent-a-Car.
SK Rent-a-Car plans to launch electric rental car products in the market using chargers provided by KEPCO.
They will also offer reservation charging services and PnC (Plug and Charge) services that authenticate customers simply by connecting the charger and the electric vehicle.
The two organizations will develop new services specialized for electric rental cars.
They expect to invigorate the domestic electric vehicle charging market by expanding the electric vehicle charging market into the rental car sector.
Additionally, through the operation of electric rental cars, they plan to develop smart charging and bidirectional charging (V2G) services to play a role in demand management by distributing power loads.
