Gyeongbuk Technopark held a progress review and a business meeting among companies on the 18th at the Wireless Power Transfer Technology Center regarding the 'Gyeongbuk Electric Vehicle Next-Generation Wireless Charging Regulatory Free Zone' and took a group photo.

This progress review was organized to check the current status of the demonstration project in the Gyeongbuk wireless charging special zone, which began demonstration in August, and to explore future industrial development directions among the central government, local governments, and special zone operators.

The Gyeongbuk electric vehicle wireless charging special zone is the first in Korea to promote demonstrations in the field of electric vehicle wireless charging. It involves three detailed projects with a total of nine companies and institutions participating: ▲ demonstration of high-power (22 kW class) wireless charging at urban hub gas stations ▲ demonstration of wired charger-linked wireless charging by adding wireless charging functions to existing wired chargers ▲ demonstration of wireless charging for ultra-compact electric vehicles suitable for short-distance travel and special purposes such as courier and delivery services. The goal is to resolve regulations on four demonstration exceptions.

Through this, amid the crisis of a major transformation in Korea's automotive parts industry toward future vehicles, the project aims to foster the regional core industry and cultivate a new technology industrial ecosystem for electric vehicle wireless charging.

On this day, the Gyeongbuk electric vehicle wireless charging special zone introduced the current status of demonstration commencement and showcased excellent achievements such as resolving regulations on the allocation of the optimal frequency band for electric vehicle wireless charging at 85 kHz through consultations with regulatory authorities, as well as revisions to the Korean Electrical Equipment Standards and Radio Application Equipment Technical Standards.

Ha In-seong, President of Gyeongbuk Technopark, stated, “We will nurture the Gyeongbuk electric vehicle wireless charging special zone to become a new momentum model for revitalizing the regional economy in the Gyeongbuk area and a stepping stone for companies to challenge new industrial markets.”
