Daedong Hospital, Charge Your Electric Vehicle While Receiving Medical Care!

Daedong Hospital (Director Lee Kwang-jae) has started operating new electric vehicle charging facilities since last week in accordance with the revised Enforcement Decree of the "Act on the Development and Distribution Promotion of Environmentally Friendly Automobiles (Eco-friendly Vehicle Act)" amended last year.

Daedong Hospital expects that this will greatly help improve convenience for patients and visitors due to the recent increase in demand for eco-friendly electric vehicles.

The Enforcement Decree of the "Act on the Development and Distribution Promotion of Environmentally Friendly Automobiles" and the "Ordinance on the Promotion of Environmentally Friendly Vehicle Distribution and Use Activation in Busan Metropolitan City" stipulate that existing medical facilities with a total number of parking spaces excluding mechanical parking unit spaces of 50 or more must install charging facilities by the 28th after a grace period. Facilities that received building permits before January 28, 2022, must install charging facilities amounting to at least 2% of the total parking spaces of the facility.

At the end of last year, Daedong Hospital signed a contract with BoltUp, an electric vehicle charging service provider, and completed the installation of three 7 kW stand-type slow chargers on the first floor of the rear parking area, where vehicle entry and exit are frequent. To charge an electric vehicle, users must install a dedicated application, register as a member, and input payment methods, then select the charging station location and charger number. After prepayment, connecting the charging cable to the vehicle will start the charging process.

Lee Kwang-jae, director of Daedong Hospital, said, "As global interest in the environment increases, the distribution of electric vehicles is rapidly growing. We installed charging facilities so that users who own electric vehicles can charge their cars while receiving medical treatment." He added, "In addition to complying with relevant laws and regulations, we will continue to strengthen convenience facilities so that visitors to Daedong Hospital can receive treatment without inconvenience and return home safely."

Daedong Hospital has been receiving positive feedback from local residents by operating services such as ▲ introduction of kiosks for medical fee payment and prescription issuance ▲ dedicated counters for pregnant women, foreigners, and veterans of the Korean War ▲ and the Beautiful Bookshelf campaign to enhance customer convenience.
