Seoul Yangjae Hydrogen Charging Station Expansion Construction Until August... Transforming into Seoul's Largest Charging Station

Charging Capacity Doubled for Single Charge Vehicles

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul City announced on the 8th that it will carry out construction to increase the charging capacity of the Yangjae hydrogen charging station from 70 vehicles per day to a maximum of 140 vehicles. Once the expansion work is completed, the Yangjae charging station will become the largest hydrogen charging station in Seoul.

The charging station will be closed for about 50 days from the 13th until August during the expansion construction period. The city asked existing users of the Yangjae charging station to use nearby stations such as Seongnam Galhyeon, Gangdong Sangil, and H Hanam hydrogen charging stations. Nearby hydrogen charging stations include Seongnam Galhyeon hydrogen charging station, located about 30 minutes from Yangjae, H Hanam hydrogen charging station, and Gangdong Sangil hydrogen charging station. The Gwacheon hydrogen charging station and Seoul City Hall Seosomun building hydrogen charging station, currently under construction, are also scheduled to open from June to July.

This construction, carried out by Seoul Energy Corporation which manages and operates the Yangjae hydrogen charging station, involves installing additional compressors, dispensers, refrigeration units, and storage tanks, linking them with existing facilities.

Seoul City and Seoul Energy Corporation plan to minimize inconvenience to users by sending text messages before the construction and notifying hydrogen vehicle user communities about the service suspension. Seoul Energy Corporation will send notification texts to customers who visited the existing Yangjae station, post pop-up messages on the mobile ‘H2Care’ app, and announce the information on the Yangjae hydrogen charging station reservation site and ‘Nexso Cafe,’ the largest hydrogen vehicle user community cafe.

Yoo Yeon-sik, Head of Seoul City’s Climate and Environment Headquarters, said, “We ask for users’ understanding regarding the inconvenience caused by using nearby hydrogen charging stations due to the Yangjae expansion construction,” and added, “Seoul City will continue to expand the eco-friendly vehicle charging infrastructure and strive to improve convenience for users.”
