Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to charge more than 70 units a day
Advance reservation system operation policy to minimize charging inconvenience
[지앤이타임즈 송승온 기자] Seoul Energy Corporation (President Kim Joong-sik) finishes the refurbishment of the Yangjae Green Car Station and starts trial charging for ordinary citizens for three days from the 26th.
This is the only hydrogen vehicle and electric vehicle convergence charging station model in Korea, adding its meaning.
Yangjae Green Car Station was originally a hydrogen charging station facility operated by Hyundai Motor Company for research purposes, but after the Seoul City took over the operating rights at the end of last year, the charging capacity was increased by more than three times from 120 kg/day to 350 kg days and newly opened.
In addition, KDHC is equipped with the latest facilities so that at least 70 hydrogen cars and hydrogen buses can be charged a day, and plans to provide a paid charging service from 8 am to 10 pm every day.
From March 1, the same charging charge as the hydrogen charging station in Seoul will be charged at 8,800 won/kg, and the Sangam hydrogen station, which is currently operating free of charge, will be converted to the same charging fee from March 1.
The KTO is planning to operate on a reservation system in advance to minimize the inconvenience of hydrogen charging and reduce waiting time for citizens. Reservations are operated by receiving 5 reservations per hour through the’H2 care’ app (hydrogen charging station information) developed by Mando.
In particular, Yangjae Green Car Station is also a representative landmark charging facility in Seoul that installed a Solar Station that charges electric vehicles through solar power generation as part of the Seoul eco-friendly mobility infrastructure construction project in 2019.
With the improvement of this hydrogen vehicle charging facility, it is evaluated that it has become synonymous with the only eco-friendly vehicle convergence charging station in Korea.
On the 25th, the day before the opening, Seoul Mayor Seo Jeong-hyup personally visited the Yangjae Green Car Station to check the progress and equipment status, and requested that the safety management plan at the site and the convenience of citizens be prepared.
At this meeting, Seoul Energy Corporation President Kim Joong-sik said, “The city still lacks hydrogen charging stations that can actually be used compared to the supply of hydrogen vehicles,” and said, “We will take the lead in building hydrogen charging stations with the opening of this green car station.”
Next, President Kim added, “We will try to inform that hydrogen is safe and clean energy to improve citizen awareness.”
Meanwhile, at the site of the preliminary inspection on this day, the hydrogen charging station was operated stably in the presence of experts in the field of hydrogen, including representatives of Seoul Mayor Seo Jeong-hyup, president of Seoul Energy Corporation Kim Joong-sik, head of the Seoul Environmental Policy Division, head of the Autonomous Administration Division, and Hyosung Heavy Industries executive director Hyun-cheol. And plans to expand the charging infrastructure to create a hydrogen city in the future were discussed in depth.
