BMW Korea built new electric vehicle chargers, and this has effectively expanded the charging facilities in the country. The German automaker is hoping to speed up its installations to make the chargers available to more EV units.
BMW opened facilities that have the capacity to charge 80 units of EVs, and this size made it the largest electric car charging station in South Korea. This will also partly address the lack of EV chargers in the country, an issue that has been hampering the electric vehicle revolution.
As per Korea Joongang Daily, the Korean unit of Bayerische Motoren Werke AG launched two charging stations in Incheon. These have a combined charging capability for 96 EVs, and all of them can be charged at the same time.
To be more specific, the automobile manufacturer set up 40 chargers at the BMW Driving Center located on Yeongjong Island. This is said to be the largest single charging station that can charge up to 80 units.
The other one was installed on one of Paradise City Hotel’s basement levels. This has eight chargers that can be used by 16 EVs at once.
Although these were built at a center and a hotel, they are not exclusive to visitors. Everyone can use these charging stations, which are additions to BMW EV chargers that now number to 802 in Korea. This showed the number growing to more than triple, as the company only has 282 units in 2020.
"BMW does not prioritize only selling EVs but also providing an environment that can charge and fix EVs by taking full responsibility as a car manufacturer," BMW Korea’s charging station manager at Incheon, Kim Nam Kyun, said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Korea Post reported that BMW is also planning to build more charging stations next year and the targeted locations are resorts, hotels, and other leisure facilities in Seoul, Jeju Island, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, and Gyeongnam. The company will also install chargers close to EV owners’ living areas as well as shopping malls.
