Pyeongtaek City to Change Reporting Requirements for Violations of the Eco-Friendly Vehicle Act

Sequential Implementation Starting February 5 Next Year

Pyeongtaek City in Gyeonggi Province announced on November 20 that, in accordance with the revision of the "Regulations on the Requirements of Environmentally Friendly Vehicles," the reporting requirements for violations under the "Eco-Friendly Vehicle Act Resident Reporting System" will be changed and implemented starting February 5 next year.

This change reflects the amended legislation and aims to address inconveniences associated with the current reporting requirements.

According to the revised regulations, the maximum parking time for plug-in hybrid vehicles in slow-charging zones will be reduced from the current 14 hours to 7 hours. Facilities excluded from the enforcement of slow-charging obstruction regulations are clearly defined as detached houses, row houses, multiplex houses, and apartment complexes with fewer than 100 households.

Regarding the photographic evidence required for reporting, the previous rule mandated the submission of two photos taken from the same location and direction at intervals of at least five minutes. This has now been relaxed to require only a one-minute interval between photos. However, the new photo submission requirement will be implemented from July 1 next year, taking into account the public awareness period.

The city plans to continue promoting the details of the policy changes through its website, social media channels, and informational notices to ensure that citizens can easily understand the new system.

A city official stated, "We expect that the implementation of the new standards will greatly contribute to establishing order in the use of charging facilities and improving the environment for the adoption of eco-friendly vehicles."
