Electric Vehicle-Only Maintenance Shops, Registration Standards to Be Relaxed

Electric vehicle charging scene

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] The registration criteria for electric vehicle (EV)-exclusive maintenance shops have been relaxed, and the number of EV-exclusive maintenance shops is expected to increase in the future.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) announced on the 1st that it held the 7th Regulatory Innovation Deliberation Committee meeting, identifying a total of 17 regulatory improvement tasks and promoting institutional improvements.

According to MOLIT, the current registration criteria for automobile maintenance shops are based on facilities for internal combustion engine maintenance such as gasoline vehicles. Therefore, there have been many calls for regulatory relaxation for maintenance shops exclusively servicing electric vehicles.

Accordingly, MOLIT plans to improve the system so that unnecessary facilities, such as emission gas measurement devices, are not required when maintenance shops exclusively service electric vehicles.

Additionally, MOLIT will relax floor area ratio regulations when rental housing is donated in small-scale reconstruction projects.

Currently, redevelopment and reconstruction projects have grounds to build up to the floor area ratio limit and donate part of the construction as public rental housing, but there is no related system for small-scale reconstruction projects.

New exemption conditions for aircraft parking fees will also be established.

Even when airlines voluntarily suspend operations as a proactive safety measure, they had to pay airport parking fees in addition to revenue losses, but going forward, parking fees will be exempted in such cases.

It will also become easier to install small-scale community convenience facilities such as benches, information boards, and trash bins within parks.

Currently, even for installing small facilities, the park development plan must be amended, but now minor changes, such as installing park facilities under 33㎡, will be excluded from the park development plan so that installation can proceed without amendment procedures.

Furthermore, when developing public land, original residents such as vinyl greenhouse dwellers or tenants of unauthorized buildings will be able to temporarily reside in national rental housing or Happy Housing.
