South Korea has installed 100 quick-charge stations for electric cars over the past three months, according to the energy ministry.
The government aims to open nearly 1,500 of the facilities by year-end. Korea had no such facilities a year ago, The Korea Herald says.
Quick-charge stations use high-power direct current to replenish an EV battery to 80% of its capacity in less than 30 minutes. The energy ministry notes that demand for EVs is closely related to how easily owners can recharge their vehicles.
The charging station initiative is part of a broader plan to promote “green” energy nationwide. Another element: installing some 4.5 million advanced electric meters this year that will help utility companies analyze energy usage.
