BMW, or Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, has extended its electric vehicle charging infrastructures in South Korea. The German automaker invested a great deal in the establishment of these charging stations in the country.
According to The Korea Times, since BMW launched its 100% electric car model, the BMW i3, the brand’s Korean unit has taken the initiative in the expansion of its EV charging facilities. Likewise, the company laid the groundwork to develop its charging infrastructures further as the adoption for usage of electric vehicles continues to increase.
It was in December 2022 when BMW Korea first built its EV chargers in the territory. The company gradually upgraded its charging facilities and set up stations around the country.
It initially opened EV charging hubs that can charge 80 EVs and has become the largest car charging center in South Korea. At that time, BMW also revealed its plans to install more facilities in the territory, and in June, the company is already operating a total of 877 EV chargers, as per The Korea Bizwire.
As of August this year, the total number increased to 893, indicating the company’s focus on the expansion of its EV charging infrastructure. With its accomplishments, BMW Korea was granted subsidies for charging projects this year. The Korea Herald reported that the brand is the only member of the Korea Automobile Importers & Distributors Association (KAIDA) to receive this aid since it was able to install more than 100 chargers within a short time.
Finally, BMW Korea will add more charging facilities around Korea. Its next project is setting up more than 20 new “BMW Charging Stations” and bringing the total number of chargers to 1,100 by the end of this year. These charging hubs are open to all-electric vehicles in the country and are not limited to BMW and Mini drivers.
