Through Agreement on Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities in Public Spaces

68 Charging Stations Installed at 29 Public Parking Lots

Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has signed a business agreement with Hyundai Engineering to establish electric vehicle charging facilities.

The agreement, held on the 7th, was promoted to expand the installation of electric vehicle chargers in public parking lots in Hamyang-gun in accordance with the Ministry of Environment's policy to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles and the Act on the Development and Promotion of Environmentally Friendly Automobiles.

Gyeongnam Hamyang-gun and Hyundai Engineering held a business agreement ceremony for the establishment of electric vehicle charging facilities.

Through this agreement, Hamyang-gun will provide sites for the installation of electric vehicle chargers in public facilities, and Hyundai Engineering plans to invest approximately 1.4 billion KRW to install 68 charging stations at 29 public parking lots and provide maintenance services.

Previously, the county agreed to collaborate with Hyundai Engineering, an affiliate of Hyundai Motor Group, to expand electric vehicle infrastructure. They jointly applied as a consortium for the Ministry of Environment's regional zero-emission vehicle transition brand project, a public contest for the concentrated supply of electric vehicle chargers, and signed this business agreement to successfully promote the project.

A Hyundai Engineering official stated, “This project was promoted as part of social contribution to transportation-vulnerable areas through the Ministry of Environment’s public contest project. We will actively cooperate to resolve inconveniences for electric vehicle users by installing additional chargers where needed in the future.”

County Governor Jin Byeong-yeong said, “Our county is proactively advancing toward becoming a carbon-neutral city by continuously implementing carbon-neutral policies such as renewable energy, green growth, and lifestyle practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality. We are very honored and pleased to participate as a leader in the Ministry of Environment’s infrastructure construction project to expand charging facilities for eco-friendly electric vehicles. I ask that all efforts be made to promote the project to alleviate inconveniences for residents and visitors using electric vehicles.”
