LG Electronics announced on the 30th that it will expand the operating hours of its electric vehicle charger service, which was previously available only during weekday daytime hours, to include weekday nights and weekends starting December 11.

Hitel Service, LG Electronics' customer service subsidiary responsible for operating the electric vehicle charger service, recently doubled its service personnel. It also secured qualifications for providing services such as meter repairs.

LG Electronics entered the electric vehicle charging market starting with solution pre-development in 2018 and acquiring HiBee Charger (formerly Apple Mango). In May, it launched four types of fast and slow electric vehicle chargers. President Cho Joo-wan also revealed a future vision to develop the electric vehicle charging business into a trillion-won scale enterprise.

Currently, LG Electronics provides charging solutions by installing 100kW fast chargers and 7kW slow chargers at about 30 Emart stores nationwide. It plans to enter the U.S. market next year.

Seo Heung-gyu, Executive Director of LG Electronics' EV Charging Business Division, said, "The expansion of service operating hours is expected to play a significant role in enhancing customer trust and charging experience in LG Electronics' electric vehicle charging business."
