[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeonnam (Governor Kim San) announced on the 19th that it will support the eco-friendly electric vehicle purchase subsidy project to improve air quality, including fine dust reduction.

They plan to support 65 electric cars and 35 electric cargo vehicles. Applicants must be individuals aged 18 or older who have resided in Muan County for more than 60 days as of the application date, or corporations, companies, or organizations with business locations in Muan County.

By vehicle type, up to 15.2 million KRW will be supported per household for electric cars, and 23.2 million KRW for small electric cargo vehicles, one vehicle per household.

Additionally, electric taxis will receive an extra 2 million KRW on top of the vehicle subsidy support amount, and households below the lower-income bracket will receive an additional 10% of the national subsidy amount when purchasing.

Applications will be accepted from the 22nd until the budget is exhausted. Applicants must bring the required documents and visit the dealership for each electric vehicle to consult and submit the application form.

Electric vehicles emit no air pollutants and can reduce 1.4 tons of greenhouse gases per year by operating one vehicle. Driving 20,000 km annually can save about 2.5 million KRW in maintenance costs compared to gasoline vehicles of the same class.

A county official stated, “We will strive to improve air quality by promoting the distribution of electric vehicles, which are eco-friendly energy sources.”
