Haman-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 11th that it will begin full-scale operation of four electric vehicle fast chargers in the Haman-gun Office Plaza parking lot starting this month.

Additionally, in March last year, the county signed an agreement with EasyCharger to expand and distribute electric vehicle charging infrastructure, installing seven 100 kW bidirectional fast chargers and nineteen 7 kW stand-type slow chargers at 14 locations, including Chilwon Ogok District public parking lot, in December last year. Accordingly, a total of 26 chargers will be additionally operated at 14 locations during the first half of this year.

The county plans to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure in public parking lots with high usage to minimize inconvenience for electric vehicle users.

A county official stated, “With the establishment of this electric vehicle charging station, we expect to enhance convenience for residents using electric vehicles, improve air quality, and greatly contribute to the expanded distribution of electric vehicles.”
