The South Korean government is moving quickly to set up charging stations across Korea. A robust recharging infrastructure needs to be built for Korea’s electric vehicle industry to thrive. The biggest weakness for EVs at the moment is their short driving range. The South Korean government had to take the lead as charging stations are not currently profitable due to low demand. Following them are electric vehicle charging startups in Korea looking to be the first movers in the space. Moreover, as e-scooter startups in Korea have found success, startups focused on EV charging are expected to follow suit. Below are some of the top EV charging startups in Korea to watch for as the EV industry continues to grow.
Pluglink offers convenient charging services based on data. It installs enough EV chargers based on the number of charger users and the charge per user. Therefore, they can install good chargers in an apartment based on the data collected. Furthermore, users can access the charging stations through the mobile app. No ID or password is needed. Therefore, drivers can recharge immediately with a QR code. Payments can be made automatically through their registered card.
SOFT BERRY is the operator of a hydrogen vehicle charging information app called SOODAL. It provides various information related to hydrogen car charging stations in Korea. This includes charging station locations, operating hours, and charging standby information. Moreover, it uses geofencing technology, which enables users to find out about the number of SOODAL users within a virtual fence surrounding the charging station. Furthermore, operators of hydrogen charging stations can easily register real-time notifications through the app and share charging station information with users.
EVAR has developed the world’s first EV self-driving charging robot. The startup was part of Samsung C.LAB, which is Samsung’s startup incubation program. EVAR produces two mobile EV chargers the EVAR Auto and the EVAR Cart. In addition, they create charging stations for public facilities, an on-demand charging service for drivers running out of battery, and a rapid high-efficiency charger that can charge up to 100kW and monitor the status through a wide LCD Screen.
