Last year, the city invested 15 billion KRW in the electric vehicle distribution project, supporting the distribution of a total of 1,052 vehicles. So far, it has distributed 82 government vehicles and 3,597 private vehicles, supporting a total of 3,679 electric vehicles.

This year, a total of 16.4 billion KRW will be invested, including 9 billion KRW from the national government, 3 billion KRW from the provincial government, and 4.4 billion KRW from the city government, to support the distribution of 1,219 vehicles, including 817 zero-emission electric passenger cars, 400 cargo vehicles, and 2 buses.

Support is available to individuals (business owners) aged 18 or older with an address in Pohang for at least 90 days prior to the application date, and corporations or organizations with headquarters, branches, or factories in Pohang. One vehicle per individual, one per individual business owner, and one per corporation can be applied for. If a corporation applies to purchase two or more vehicles, it must apply directly to the Korea Environment Corporation for national government subsidies.

Applications can be made through the Ministry of Environment’s Zero-Emission Vehicle Purchase Subsidy System, where local manufacturers, importers, and dealers can handle purchase contracts and application submissions. Subsidies are paid in the order of vehicle delivery (registration).

Additionally, this year, the Ministry of Environment’s public contest for building electric charging infrastructure will be held, including the regional zero-emission vehicle transition branding project, along with an expanded support project for installing private public chargers.

Furthermore, in March, the first ultra-fast electric vehicle charging station (E-Pit) proposed by Hyundai Motor Group in the Yeongnam region will begin operation at Pohang Baseball Stadium, with a private investment of 1 billion KRW.
