Daejeon City Supports Installation of 'Electric Vehicle Fast Chargers' at Gas Stations and Marts

Daejeon City provides subsidies for the installation of electric vehicle fast chargers.

According to the city on the 8th, the subsidy recipients are private charging operators who secure parking spaces capable of installing fast chargers at gas stations, convenience stores, marts, restaurants, and multi-use facilities within the city, and who install fast chargers with a subsidy (50% of installation cost) from the Korea Energy Agency.

The city additionally supports 70% of the installation subsidy provided by the Korea Energy Agency to encourage participation from private charging operators and to expand the number of chargers.

The subsidy is provided differentially, up to KRW 11.9 million for 50kW (single) chargers and up to KRW 29.75 million for 200kW (dual) chargers.

For example, a private operator installing a 50kW charger (with an installation cost of KRW 34 million) can receive KRW 17 million (50%) from the Korea Energy Agency, and separately, an additional KRW 11.9 million (70% of the Korea Energy Agency subsidy, equivalent to 35% of the total installation cost) from the city.

Thus, the actual installation cost burden for the operator is 15%.

Private charging operators wishing to receive the subsidy must be selected for the Korea Energy Agency’s ‘2023 Electric Vehicle Charging Service Industry Promotion Project’ and submit the subsidy application form to the city by mail after completing the fast charger installation.

Applications are accepted from the 8th until the project budget is exhausted, and recipients are selected in the order of subsidy application submission.

The total support quantity this year is eight units. However, business sites of companies targeted for eco-friendly vehicle purchase goals are considered non-public and are excluded from support.
