The government is hosting an event where attendees can test drive electric vehicles and learn about purchase subsidies, charging methods, and maintenance costs.
The Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Environment announced that the 'Omnipotent' exhibition and promotional event for electric vehicles will take place at Space S50 in Seongsu-dong from November 13 to 15.
The event will showcase a variety of vehicles, including electric passenger cars, vans, trucks, and motorcycles. Visitors will have the opportunity to examine the performance and applications of each vehicle and take test drives.
Consultations will also be available for consumers considering purchasing electric vehicles. Sales representatives will provide information on purchase subsidies, individual charging conditions, and estimated maintenance costs necessary for the vehicle buying process. The purchase subsidy process involves the buyer contracting the vehicle, after which the manufacturer or importer applies for purchase support from local governments, which then select eligible recipients.
Information on charging procedures and safety guidelines will also be provided. Notably, an automatic charging and payment service (PnC) will be introduced, allowing users to charge without separate authentication or payment procedures once the charging cable is connected.
An outdoor relaxation area will be set up utilizing the Vehicle to Load (V2L) feature, which allows electric vehicles to supply stored power externally. Attendees can experience the utility of electric vehicles through videos and beverages powered by the vehicle's electricity.
A campaign to promote carbon-neutral points for transitioning to electric vehicles will also be launched. The ministry plans to offer 2,000 points for signing up for the electric vehicle transition and 20,000 points for actually switching to an electric vehicle starting November 27.
Anyone can participate in the signing through the 'Korea Climate Action × Carbon Neutral Points' integrated website or the Carbon Pay mobile app.
Oil Young, head of the Climate Policy Division at the ministry, stated, "We hope this event allows people to experience the advantages of transitioning to electric vehicles in their daily lives and consider it a realistic option in the future. We will continue our efforts to help the public recognize the convenience, economic benefits, and environmental value of electric vehicles and encourage their transition."
