Yongin City, Recruiting Private Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities

Expansion of Charging Facilities in Multi-Family Residential Areas and Other Underserved Locations

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 18th that it is recruiting private installers and operators to expand the insufficient electric vehicle charging facilities until the 27th.

This project aims to expand related facilities in areas where charging facilities are relatively lacking for user convenience. Unlike last year, when installations were prioritized in public facilities, this year applications are also accepted for private facilities.

The application targets are buildings located in the city that are not subject to mandatory electric vehicle charging facilities, and must meet the following criteria: ▲places where any electric vehicle user can use the facilities at any time ▲places where there is no parking fee burden when using the charging facilities (free or free for up to one hour, etc.). Consent from the owner (or management entity) of the installation site is required at the time of application.

If selected, support will be provided for the installation of at least one rapid charger of 50 kW or higher. The mandatory operation period is five years.

The city plans to finalize the project sites next month after on-site inspections and other evaluations of the applicants. Priority will be given to areas such as multi-family housing and small business clusters where electric vehicle charging facilities are lacking and accessibility for users is good.

Detailed information can be found on the Yongin City website under public notices.

Previously, the city supported the installation of 71 electric vehicle charging stations last year, and plans to install an additional 100 charging stations at 29 public facilities this year.
