Currently, a total of 28 electric vehicle charging facilities are installed and operated within Garak Market. Among them, there is one slow charger at the Eco-friendly Center, nine fast chargers and twelve slow chargers in the underground area of Garak Mall.

The location is in the area with the highest number of users, Garak Mall (underground 2nd floor parking lot, zones S16~I01). It is available not only for Hyundai and Kia vehicles but also for all electric vehicles adopting the domestic charging standard DC Combo Type 1 as the basic charging method, regardless of manufacturer.

On the 2nd basement floor of Garak Mall, fast chargers are concentrated, allowing electric vehicle drivers who want long-distance driving or quick charging, as well as cargo electric vehicles that have difficulty accessing the 3rd basement floor due to vehicle height restrictions, to use the facility conveniently.

The 3rd basement floor of Garak Mall is a parking area exclusively for passenger cars, equipped with charging facilities for passenger electric vehicle customers who want to use Garak Market comfortably. Customers can use 12 slow chargers and 3 fast chargers according to their needs.

Kwon Ki-tae, Head of the Environmental Creation Headquarters, stated, “In response to the government’s eco-friendly policies, we will continuously expand eco-friendly vehicle charging facilities to promote green transportation at Garak Market and enhance convenience for market users.”
