– Combination of fast charging, street lights, CCTV, etc. 'Street lamp type', small space occupancy and slow charging 'Bollard type'
– Installed a total of 6 units by December in parking lots and roadside in 10 autonomous districts… Installed more than 25 units by '100
– Villas and row houses have poor charging environment and collect opinions from citizens who prefer charging at home
– Expanded installation of 'eco-friendly electric vehicle complex charging stations' by region to produce electricity and charge electric vehicles in one place
□ While Mayor Oh Se-hoon pledged to supply 2025 electric vehicles and build 27 electric vehicle charging facilities by 20, the city of Seoul will introduce an innovative charger model that can conveniently charge electric vehicles even in residential alleys such as villas and row houses. The 'street lamp charger' and the 'bollard-type charger' will be installed by the end of this year.
□ The 'street lamp charger' is a 50kW fast charger with a slim profile like a street lamp, and it can fully charge an electric vehicle in one hour, so it is expected to become a new model in residential areas where most slow chargers are installed. In addition, various functions are combined from street lights to crime prevention CCTVs and LCD displays. And the 'bollard-type charger' has an area of about 0.06㎡ and is a slow charger that does not take up much space. All are new types introduced for the first time in Seoul.
□ Both types can be installed in alleyways and roadsides, so it is expected that electric vehicle users will be able to charge their electric vehicles when using restaurants and multi-use facilities, and then go to work or charge them near their residence on the way to and from work. do.
○ Citizens using electric vehicles prefer to charge near their homes, but unlike new apartments that have electric vehicle charging spaces in underground parking lots, residential areas such as villas, row houses, and old apartments lack parking lots or install new electric vehicle charging facilities. It was a difficult situation.
○ In particular, most residential areas mainly use slow charging due to difficulties in electrical construction and high cost. this could be created.
□ In a meeting with citizens using electric vehicles, including members of an electric car club, the city said, “The charging environment is poor in villas and townhouses, so it is necessary to create an environment where charging can be done near the house. It would be nice if public chargers could be installed nearby,” he explained, adding that the project was launched after collecting public opinions.
□ The Seoul Metropolitan Government will complete the installation of a total of 10 units (6 street lamps, 4 bollards) by December of this year. Residents of six autonomous districts, including Mapo-gu, selected through an autonomous district public contest, will be installed in the priority parking area, roadside, and on-street parking lot near taxi depots.
○ Last September, the city held a public contest for 9 autonomous districts to find suitable sites to install streetlight and bollard chargers, and received 25 recommendations from 8 autonomous districts.
※ Selected site and installed charger
□ The city of Seoul plans to install more than 25 units by '100 by directly operating the charger installed through this pilot project, evaluating efficiency and appropriateness, and collecting citizens' opinions to supplement the project.
□ In addition, the Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to install more than two 'eco-friendly hybrid electric vehicle charging stations' by 2, following the current two (Yangjae-southeast area, Yangcheon-southwest area) where eco-friendly electricity production and supply are made in one place. The plan is to increase the number of public and private charging stations in each region to more than 22 by '2 by attracting the participation of private companies. The goal is to alleviate the burden on the power system, which is aggravated by the increase in the amount of charging due to the expansion of electric vehicles.
○ 'Eco-friendly hybrid electric vehicle charging station' is a facility that combines electric vehicle charging functions with renewable energy facilities such as solar power and ESS (energy storage system). Electricity produced through coal and LNG emits pollutants such as CO2 during the production process, but electricity produced through renewable energy is eco-friendly because it does not emit pollutants.
○ Yangjae eco-friendly hybrid electric vehicle charging station consists of 6 rapid chargers (300kW), solar power generation facility (20kWh), and energy storage facility (ESS). Rapid chargers are intensively installed, so citizens can charge without waiting. In addition, the electric vehicle is charged with the eco-friendly electricity produced, and the remaining amount is stored in an energy storage facility.
□ Yoo Yeon-sik, head of Seoul’s Climate Environment Division, said, “This installation of street lamp and bollard chargers is a pilot project that accepts and introduces electric vehicle users’ opinions that they prefer charging near their homes and that the charging environment is poor in villas and row houses, not apartments. "We will continue to listen to the opinions of users and create a compact charging environment centered on the living radius at the contact point of citizens," he said.
