First, the 2023 regional zero-emission vehicle transition brand project was selected by the Ministry of Environment through a consortium formed by Ulsan City and Humax EV, and a total of 411 EV chargers will be installed in public institutions and private facilities.

Last year, Ulsan City was also selected for the Ministry of Environment’s ‘Regional Zero-Emission Vehicle Brand Project’ and installed a total of 319 EV chargers in key areas of Ulsan City. Additionally, the ‘2023 Jeonju Stationary EV Charging Station Construction Project’ (Korea Electric Power Corporation) is a project to install EV chargers near detached houses, row houses, multi-family housing, and on-street parking lots, with 15 units planned for installation this year.

Furthermore, government-level projects such as the 2023 public fast-charging facility installation for electric vehicles, the 2023 EV slow-charging facility subsidy project (Ministry of Environment), and the 2023 EV charging service industry promotion project (Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy) are also being promoted, which is expected to significantly increase the number of chargers distributed in the Ulsan area.

An official from Ulsan City stated, “We will continuously build EV charging infrastructure considering EV users’ accessibility, travel routes, and traffic demand.”
