KEPCO Expands Electric Bus Charging Service Nationwide... Agreement with Jeonju City
[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) is expanding its electric bus charging services nationwide to promote the adoption of eco-friendly vehicles in public transportation.
On the 29th, KEPCO announced that it signed a 'Jeonju City Electric Bus Charging Project Agreement' with the Jeonju Facilities Management Corporation.
KEPCO is currently conducting pilot projects for electric bus charging services in Naju City, Gwangju Metropolitan City, and Sejong City.
To expand the adoption of electric buses, sufficient charging infrastructure is essential. However, the high initial investment cost for electric bus charging infrastructure acts as a barrier for local governments and transportation operators wishing to introduce electric buses.
In response, KEPCO is providing electric bus charging services by building charging infrastructure, thereby alleviating the initial investment burden for local governments and transportation operators.
