-After operation in early June of last year, the number of charging cases surged to serve as a’domestic charging stopover’
The nation’s largest’Wanju Hydrogen Charging Station’, equipped with four chargers and four compressors, is playing a leading role in popularizing the domestic hydrogen economy.
According to Wanju-gun on the 26th, the’Wanju Hydrogen Charging Station’ of Jeonbuk No. 1, installed in Dunsan-ri, Bongdong-eup, was in the spotlight as a’stop-off’ for hydrogen charging nationwide since its completion ceremony in early June of last year, and charging of domestic and local hydrogen cars The number of uses is increasing rapidly.
Since the first month of charging for passenger cars reached 468 in June of last year, the fact that “it is the largest charging station in Korea equipped with four chargers and compressors, so it can be quickly charged without the need for waiting time.” There were 1,124 cases, which jumped more than twice in two months.
‘Wanju Hydrogen Charging Station’, which is friendly and well-charged, through the’national charging restaurant’, recorded 1,182 cases in September last year, exceeding 1,100 cases for 3 consecutive months, and is the’best preferred charging station for hydrogen vehicles in Tokyo. Has established itself as’.
As Jeonju’s No. 1 and 52nd Jeonju Songcheon charging station went into operation in November last year, the number of charging stations at the Wanju charging station has recently decreased slightly, but it has become a’place of expedition charging’ as the number of visitors to nearby big cities such as metropolitan area business trips and Daejeon is constant have.
The reason why the’Wanju Hydrogen Charging Station’ is so popular is that it can be charged quickly, with only 5 to 6 minutes required to charge one hydrogen car, and because it has a large number of chargers and compressors, it does not require waiting time.
Here, there are three highways that pass through Wanju-gun, and it is located in the navel of the Han River, so it is easy to access from anywhere in Korea such as the metropolitan area or the west and south coastal areas, making it a’stopover’ for domestic hydrogen charging. have.
In fact, the Wanju hydrogen charging station was built with a charging capacity of 110 kg per hour, the largest in Korea, and has the capacity to charge 22 hydrogen cars or 3 hydrogen buses per hour. It also has the advantage of being able to charge all hydrogen vehicles, including passenger cars, buses, and trucks produced in Korea.
For this reason, the total charging amount of passenger cars using the Wanju charging station increased threefold in a short time, increasing from 1,689 kg in June of last year to 4,089 kg in August of the same year, and to 4,665 kg in September of the same year, two months later.
The charging of large vehicles such as buses is also increasing rapidly. In October last year, the first month when hydrogen city buses were introduced in the province, 64 cases were charged with 694 kg, but two months later, in December, 318 cases were 3,195 kg, five times higher than the number.
Experts said, “The maximum charging capacity of one hydrogen car is 6.0 kg, whereas the car that visits the’Wanju hydrogen charging station’ was analyzed to have charged only 3.8 kg at a time.” “Before the capacity runs out, it is pre-charged at the Wanju charging station. Haja said that the so-called’stopover’ role is not irrelevant.”
Wanju-gun believes that the hydrogen charging station serves as a catalyst for the popularization of the domestic hydrogen economy, and plans to further accelerate the promotion of the hydrogen industry. Park Seong-il, head of Wanju County, said, “We are pleased that the hydrogen charging station has established itself as a nationwide charging spot in the context of advocating a hydrogen economy-centered city such as completion of a hydrogen demonstration city and fostering the hydrogen commercial vehicle industry.” I will go out.”
