First Solar-Powered Chargers in Busan Enhance Convenience for Individuals with Limited Mobility

Gijang County has expanded the installation of rapid chargers for electric mobility devices to improve the mobility and convenience of users of electric wheelchairs and electric scooters.

On May 12, Gijang County installed one additional rapid charger for electric mobility devices at the Jwagwangcheon Garden Visitor Center in Jeonggwan-eup and another at the Gijang County Association for the Disabled, according to an announcement made on May 18.

The rapid charger for electric mobility devices is a facility designed to reduce inconvenience caused by battery depletion and to support safe outdoor activities. Anyone using an electric mobility device can use the charger free of charge. Depending on the battery condition, it can be fully charged within approximately 90 minutes.

With this installation, the number of locations operating rapid chargers for electric mobility devices in Gijang County has increased to a total of 12, significantly improving accessibility and convenience for the disabled, the elderly, and other individuals with limited mobility.

In particular, this charger is an eco-friendly facility utilizing solar charging technology and has been introduced for the first time in the Busan region. The county expects this to help reduce electricity costs and lower carbon emissions.

Additionally, the chargers have been installed outdoors so that they can be used at any time without time restrictions. They also offer various convenience features such as tire air injection, air gun cleaning, and mobile phone charging, thereby increasing their usability.

Jung Jongbok, Mayor of Gijang County, stated, "We will continue to expand practical convenience facilities to ensure social participation and mobility rights for the disabled and individuals with limited mobility," adding, "We will pursue various projects to enhance the level of welfare so that all residents can live in a safe and convenient environment."

The current status of electric mobility device charger installations for the disabled can be found on the Gijang County Office website.
