Regional zero-emission vehicle conversion brand project worth 237.5 billion won, open for public offering from the 6th to April 15th

The Ministry of Environment will increase the budget for the 2024 electric vehicle public charging facility installation subsidy project to KRW 371.5 billion, a 42% increase from the previous year, and begin the support project on March 6.

The Ministry of Environment announced that it will provide 134 billion won in support for the 'Direct Application Subsidy Project' that supports the installation of public slow charging facilities, and 237.5 billion won for the 'Regional Zero-Emission Vehicle Conversion Brand Project' that supports both rapid and slow charging facilities.

This is a scale that can install 110,000 7kW slow chargers and 18,750 100kW rapid chargers.

The 'Regional Zero-Emission Vehicle Conversion Brand Project' is a project that links the distribution of electric vehicles and the construction of charging infrastructure according to regional characteristics and supports various business types by discovering them for local governments and charging operators.

The subsidy per public slow charger ranges from a minimum of 350,000 won to a maximum of 5 million won, depending on the charger capacity (kW) and number of units installed. The subsidy per public fast charger ranges from 50% of the installation cost to a maximum of 75 million won, depending on the charging capacity.

First, the 'Direct Application Subsidy Project' is a project that supports the installation of public slow charging facilities, and the total budget is 134 billion won. Owners (or operators) of apartment complexes, businesses, large parking lots, etc. can receive support.

The application period for support is from March 6th until the budget is exhausted.

However, the fire prevention type public slow chargers, which account for 80 billion won out of the 134 billion won, are scheduled to be supported in the second half of this year when the 'communication technology standards between electric vehicles and chargers' are prepared.

A 'fire prevention charger' refers to a charger that can collect battery information (vehicle information, cumulative driving distance, SOH, SOC, current, voltage, temperature, etc.) of an electric vehicle while charging and control charging for the purpose of contributing to the prevention of electric vehicle fires. Currently, 'establishment of communication technology standards between electric vehicles and chargers, development of a communication modem', etc. are in progress.

Owners (or operators) of apartment complexes, etc. who wish to receive support for the installation of public slow charging facilities through the 'Direct Application Subsidy Project' can apply at the 'Integrated Zero-Emission Vehicle Website (ev.or.kr)'.

When applying, please indicate the number of chargers you wish to install on the application form and select 1 to 3 preferred business implementation agencies.

The business execution agency is a charging business operator who can professionally perform the installation and aftercare of charging facilities, and is selected by the Ministry of Environment through a public offering. The 2024 business execution agency can be confirmed on the Zero-Emission Vehicle Integrated Portal (ev.or.kr).

In addition, applicants for installation support must submit a building register in accordance with the guidelines for slow charging facility subsidies, and if they are not the building owner or a representative of residents, they must additionally attach a consent form from at least 80% of residents or meeting minutes.

For the convenience of those wishing to install, a charging business operator may act as an agent for the installation application.
