Yongin City Eases Reporting Requirements for Electric Vehicle Charging Obstruction Incidents

Photo Capture Interval Changed from 5 Minutes to 1 Minute
New 'Unprocessable' Category Also Established

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will ease the reporting requirements for illegal parking in electric vehicle charging zones.

On the 26th, Yongin City announced that it will hold an administrative notice until the 12th of next month regarding the operation of the "Resident Reporting System for Environmentally Friendly Vehicle Charging Obstruction Acts."

The administrative notice relaxes the evidence photo requirements submitted to report general vehicles parked in electric vehicle charging zones from "at least two photos taken at intervals of 5 minutes or more" to "at least two photos taken at intervals of 1 minute or more." The city explained that this is to align the resident reporting system with the reporting requirements of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's Safe Report app.

Meanwhile, a fine of up to 200,000 KRW will be imposed for acts such as parking general vehicles in electric vehicle charging zones or environmentally friendly vehicle parking zones, continuous parking in charging zones (over 1 hour for rapid charging, 14 hours for slow charging), loading and parking items in or around charging zones, and intentional damage to charging facilities and zones.

The city also established "unprocessable report items" related to the operation of the resident reporting system. Specific unprocessable items include cases where reports are made only with photos showing time over the limit displayed on the electric vehicle charger, cases where the charger has not started normal operation, and other unclear or uncertain situations or materials deemed difficult to impose fines. Unprocessable report items are excluded from fine imposition.

If there are no special objections to this administrative notice, the city plans to implement it starting from the 13th of next month.
