KGM (hereafter referred to as KGM) announced on March 11 that it will launch a "Special Electric Vehicle Safety Inspection Campaign" for electric vehicle owners to ensure safe driving. This campaign will be conducted free of charge at KGM’s nationwide service network for nine months, from this month through December.

The inspections will cover all KGM electric vehicle models released between March 2022 and January of this year, including the Musso EV, Torres EVX, and Korando EV. Key items to be checked include: ▲ insulation resistance of high-voltage batteries using diagnostic equipment ▲ battery management system (BMS) data ▲ motor coolant leakage ▲ and battery pack impact damage.

In addition to the inspections, KGM is operating an "Electric Vehicle Battery Safety Compensation Program." In the event of a fire caused by an electric vehicle battery, the company offers compensation of up to 500 million won. The battery fire warranty period has also been set at an industry-leading 10 years or 1 million kilometers, strengthening the safety net for customers.

Furthermore, through its second parts brand "Auto Yoram," launched in January, KGM has established a system to supply consumable parts at reasonable prices. KGM plans to further enhance customer satisfaction by expanding its services beyond regular inspections, including special inspections for flood-damaged vehicles and more.
