Banpo Bokgaecheon Public Parking Lot Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Station

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seocho-gu (District Mayor Eunhee Jo) has installed an 'Electric Vehicle (EV) Concentrated Charging Station' at the Banpo Bokgaecheon Public Parking Lot near Samho Garden Intersection to meet the increasing demand for electric vehicles and enhance the satisfaction of residents using EVs.

The district began construction of the concentrated charging station in August, completed it by the end of November, finished performance testing, and officially opened it on December 3.

The charging station is equipped with three rapid chargers that can complete charging within 30 minutes.

Among these, one is a dual charger that can charge two vehicles simultaneously, allowing a total of four vehicles to be charged at once.

The charging station operates 24 hours a day, year-round.

Additionally, a call center has been established to receive malfunction reports and resolve inconveniences, and regular safety inspections are conducted to ensure convenient use for users.

This project was promoted with city funding after Seocho-gu was selected in Seoul's 'Seoul-type Electric Vehicle Concentrated Charging Station Contest' this year, establishing the EV concentrated charging station at the Banpo Bokgaecheon Public Parking Lot frequently used by residents.

Previously, since 2018, the district has expanded charging infrastructure in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and Korea Electric Power Corporation, installing charging facilities at five locations in the government office parking lot and eight public parking lots.

Also, one charger has been installed at each community service center (except Seocho 4-dong and Banpo Bon-dong) for residents' use.

District Mayor Eunhee Jo stated, “Although electric vehicles have rapidly increased recently, the charging infrastructure was severely insufficient, causing many complaints. We will continuously expand the charging infrastructure to resolve inconveniences and contribute to the spread of electric vehicles.”
