Gochang-gun Promotes 'Electric Vehicle Distribution Project' to Reduce Fine Dust

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeonbuk Gochang-gun (Governor Yu Gisang) announced on the 24th that it will promote the ‘Electric Vehicle Distribution Project’ to reduce fine dust, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and spread the culture of using eco-friendly vehicles.

The county secured a project budget of 450 million KRW, including national and provincial subsidies, and plans to support the purchase of about 23 electric passenger cars.

The subsidy amount is up to 17 million KRW per passenger car, and applications can be submitted from the 30th of this month until the 10th of next month.

Eligibility for application includes residents aged 18 or older who have continuously resided in the county for more than three months as of the announcement date, as well as corporations and public institutions located within the county.

To apply, residents (or corporations, etc.) wishing to receive support must visit an electric vehicle dealership, sign a purchase contract, and submit application documents. The dealership will then submit the documents to the Ministry of Environment’s Low Emission Vehicle Purchase Subsidy Support System.

If the number of applications exceeds the project volume, the final recipients will be selected through a lottery.

However, the vehicle must be delivered within three months after the electric vehicle subsidy support is confirmed; failure to meet this requirement may result in cancellation of the subsidy.

Additionally, purchasers who receive the subsidy must comply with a mandatory operation period of two years.

For more details, please check the announcements section on the county’s official website.
