. ” Dr. JIYEON Park of the Korea Transportation Research Institute spoke at the ``Electric Vehicle User Association'' held at the COEX conference hall in Seoul on the 8th, sponsored by the Korea Electric Vehicle Users Association.
``With the growth rate of the electric vehicle market slowing down, measures are needed to accelerate the spread of electric vehicles.''
According to Statistics Nuri from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the total number of cars registered in South Korea as of the end of December 2023 was 25.94 million.
There were 9201 units. Of these, 543,900 were electric vehicles, and the conversion rate to electric vehicles was 2.1% (6.3% for business use, 1.8% for non-business use). 2030 according to the government's target
It is estimated that if 4.2 million electric vehicles become popular by 2020, the conversion rate to electric vehicles will be around 16%. Dr. Park said, ``Electric car drivers are hindering the spread of electric cars.
``Most people cited charging issues as a contributing factor,'' and added, ``As the types of electric vehicles are diversifying, it is necessary to research charging strategies and infrastructure plans that take into account the charging characteristics of each type of vehicle.''
added. It points out that charging facilities should be expanded based on demand analysis using traffic simulations and a survey of charging patterns of electric vehicle drivers.
At this day's event, Kim Kyung-mi, secretary of the Ministry of Environment, announced the achievements and challenges of the Korean government's policy to popularize electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Secretary Kim said, ``Public institutions
Through the installation of charging stations in Japan and private sector subsidy projects, approximately 305,000 charging spots have been installed as of the end of 2023,'' adding, ``This penetration record is at the highest level among major countries in the world.'' However, Secretary Kim
added, ``Until now, charging spots have spread mainly in places where it is easy to secure space, but now we need to spread the use of charging spots that take into account convenience and actual demand.''
Namgoong Song, director of the Infrastructure Strategy Department of the Korea Automotive Environment Association, said, ``Thailand needs to improve the quality of the charging spots currently in use.
"Currently, we are forming a quality improvement council with ministries and agencies related to electric vehicles, and we are training dual charge facility manager qualifications and providing training for on-site inspection and maintenance work."
We will train specialized human resources." The Automotive Environment Association is in charge of operating the Ministry of Environment's electric vehicle charging facilities. Team leader Cha JaeHee of the Seoul green car charging project team said:
announced plans to popularize electric vehicles and charging spots in Seoul. Team Cha said, ``We plan to increase the number of quick charging stations in Seoul from 12 to 50 by 2026.''
``The plan is to build a detailed rapid charging infrastructure to ensure that there are no areas in Seoul where charging is difficult.'' Professor Choi Woong of Kookmin University's Department of Automotive Engineering said,
In order to solve the charging spot problem, we need to strategically install charging spots in a direction different from gas stations," he said.
He recommended that strategies such as the establishment of Kim Sung-tae, head of the Electric Vehicle Users Association, said, ``Korea is so well-developed that it ranks first in the world in the charging infrastructure index released every year by the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Although there are a large number of electric spots, they are still being inconvenienced,'' he said, ``I hope the government and companies will take the lead in creating safe and convenient charging infrastructure.''
