Daejeon Metropolitan City will provide additional support for a total of 467 electric vehicles (413 passenger cars and 54 cargo vehicles) through its electric vehicle supply program in the second half of this year.

Applications for subsidies will be accepted starting on September 22 and will continue until the allocated budget is exhausted.

Despite worsening fiscal conditions, the city has expanded the supply volume by reducing the municipal subsidy per vehicle by up to 1 million won compared to the first half of the year. Instead, in collaboration with manufacturers, a regional discount program has been introduced.

When purchasing a vehicle, manufacturers will offer a direct discount of 500,000 won, and the city will provide an additional subsidy of the same amount. As a result, citizens will receive benefits equivalent to those provided in the first half of the year.

Eligible applicants are individuals or corporations who have resided in Daejeon for at least 30 consecutive days as of the application date. Subsidy applications can be submitted through dealerships after signing a purchase contract for an electric vehicle.

Final recipients will be determined in the order of vehicle delivery and registration. Detailed information is available on the Daejeon Metropolitan City website and the Integrated Zero-Emission Vehicle Portal.

Moon Changyong, Director of Daejeon’s Environmental Bureau, stated, "The additional supply of electric vehicles will contribute to creating a pleasant air environment and reducing citizens’ financial burdens. We will continue to work toward expanding eco-friendly transportation options."
