Chaebi, a South Korean operator of fast EV charging infrastructure, said April 29 it has partnered with Hyundai Motor to roll out a Hyundai-only EV charging subscription plan.

The plan, aimed at buyers of new Hyundai vehicles, offers a discounted rate of 299 won per kWh at Chaebi chargers and partner roaming stations. It also includes a 10% discount on Chaebi credit purchases of 10,000 won or more and discount coupons for “Chaebi Wash,” a premium hand car-wash service at Chaebi Stay.

Customers can sign up through the subscription menu in the My Page section of the Chaebi app. The company said the benefits are designed to apply to all new-car buyers this year, regardless of delivery timing.

With monthly fees of 19,900 won or 9,900 won, subscribers can use Chaebi’s ultra-fast and fast charging network nationwide at reduced rates for the remainder of 26. At Chaebi Stay, charging discounts, credit discounts and premium hand-wash benefits are offered as a package.

“This cooperation is a starting point for Hyundai Motor and Chaebi to write a new standard for the EV charging experience together,” Chaebi CEO Choi Young-hoon said.
