EV charging solutions company Aron said Tuesday it will provide a free mobile EV charging service at expressway rest stops during the Lunar New Year holiday, in partnership with hy Mobility.
The program, promoted by the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment and the Korea Automobile Environmental Association, places mobile EV charging vehicles at major highway rest stops nationwide to ease charging inconvenience during peak long-distance travel.
Aron will oversee operations in the Gwangju-Jeolla region, deploying 10 mobile charging vehicles to five rest stops: Gimje (Saemangeum-bound), Gimje (Jeonju-bound), Gochang Dolmen (Mokpo-bound), Gunsan (Mokpo-bound) and Hampyeong Cheonji (Seoul-bound).
The service uses charging vehicles equipped with large-capacity battery packs to charge EVs on site. Aron will offer free charging at designated locations at each rest stop from the 13th through the 18th, a total of six days.
EV drivers can receive 20 kWh of charging at no cost. Service hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
CEO Nam Jae-hyeon said mobile charging facilities can respond flexibly to temporary spikes in demand during holidays. He said Aron will operate the service to help ensure drivers can travel safely without inconvenience from charging issues on Lunar New Year return and outbound trips.
