Complex Charging Station Established at Kia Autoland Gwangmyeong

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Kia announced on the 4th that it has opened a new hydrogen and electric combined charging station at Autoland Gwangmyeong in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province.

This combined charging station is located on a 4,381㎡ site and is equipped with one Hynet hydrogen charger and six Hyundai Motor Group’s ultra-fast charging brand E-Pit electric chargers. The hydrogen charger can refuel up to 60 hydrogen passenger cars per day. The E-Pit chargers include four ultra-fast chargers capable of up to 260 kW and two fast chargers capable of up to 100 kW.

The charging station was developed through a public-private partnership launched in June last year, with a total investment of 7.2 billion KRW, including 1.5 billion KRW in national funding. The company stated that this is the first time a hydrogen charging station has been established in a greenbelt area in Korea. Located near the junction of the Gangnam Circular Urban Expressway and the Gwangmyeong-Suwon Expressway, it is expected to greatly enhance convenience for hydrogen and electric vehicle users in the metropolitan area.

Yoo Cheol-hee, head of Kia’s Gwangmyeong plant, said, "As part of our efforts to accelerate the adoption of eco-friendly vehicles, a key task for carbon neutrality, we will faithfully fulfill our role as a socially responsible company to create environmental value going forward."
