One of the biggest topics that modern society is paying attention to is environmental issues. With the advent of various technologies and products, our lives have been enriched, At the same time, beings that are the main culprits of environmental destruction, such as fossil fuels and plastics, are also This is because environmental destruction is taking place at a very rapid pace with the advent of the environment, and unprecedented crises such as the climate crisis are occurring on Earth. As a result, countries are taking various measures to prevent environmental destruction., Use of eco-friendly energy and reduction of fossil fuel consumption, , or various movements to prevent environmental destruction, such as reducing the use of disposable products.

In particular, interest in electric vehicles is increasing recently. An electric vehicle is a vehicle that runs on electricity, Unlike internal combustion engine vehicles that emit harmful substances that can be said to be the main cause of air pollution, This is because it is an eco-friendly means of transportation as it does not emit the same harmful substances. In addition, since electric vehicles charge electricity, unlike internal combustion engine vehicles, they have the economical advantage of not requiring fuel, so the purchase rate of electric vehicles is showing a steady increase every year.

As interest and purchase rate for electric vehicles are increasing,, in the electric vehicle industry, 2030The scale of electric vehicles in Korea is projected to exceed 30010,000 by 2020. However, the current 1charger per unit is 0.5a situation that is insufficient, and electric vehicles are being launched. In the early days, charging methods and installation infrastructure were worse than they are now. Therefore, Korea Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Technology is said to have grown rapidly in the industry with an easy and convenient mobile charging method in the electric vehicle field. We met Oh Se-young, CEO of Korea Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Technology, to discuss details.

Please introduce your company

Korea Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Technology develops and produces electric vehicle chargers, installs them where they are needed, and provides services to maintain and manage the devices, , Eco-friendly IT Technology ESG building a charging infrastructure platform span>It's a startup. Last year As of 2022, approximately 3,000operated charging infrastructure across the country. In progress.

At the time of establishment in 2019, there were difficulties in spreading electric vehicle charging infrastructure, so immersed in research and development of charging infrastructure platform solutions for 2 years. did. As a result, the communication protocol that was commercialized in Europe and North America OCPP (Open Charging Communication Protocol) was certified for the first time in Asia, and was able to start its own charging business in 2020.

We can be said to be a company that pursues technology above all else. There are various teams such as Development Team, Operation Team, Marketing Team, etc. They gather together and demonstrate their abilities. Also,, We believe that only when individuals grow, the company where the individuals gather will grow.. So, to help everyone grow in their own place, we create a young and vibrant corporate culture.I am trying to.

What is your main business

Currently, the company provides 'KEVITEVCharging Solution', an electric vehicle charging infrastructure platform. is doing. In 2020, it was mandatory to issue a charging card for each charging service provider to charge electric vehicles. Because electric vehicle users need to charge their vehicles anytime, anywhere, on average, 10 are issued and about It took 7days. We are the first in Korea to introduce an app-based QR recharge service that can be recharged without issuing a membership card, reducing user experience time < shortened to span>3minutes, reducing unnecessary waste of resources.

Earlier this year, in collaboration with government agencies such as the Ministry of Environment, Seoul City, QRBy introducing a charging service, convenience for electric vehicle users could be improved once again by providing a service that allows users to easily recharge with one app without the need for multiple membership cardsKEVIT.

Also, We are B2B solution 'KEVIT CSMS solution' is also provided. Manufacture of chargers, Construction of charging facilities, Provision of charging services , Billing settlement, We provide services in all processes of electric vehicle charging, from maintenance to maintenance . This KEVIT The strength of the charging service is 'Convenience< span>' and 'smart'. Through self-development and automation of the system, the charger failure rate is managed to 1% and, Simple QR We are reaching out to customers through promotions and additional services using apps such as charging and point systems.

If you have a goal and direction

This yearThe goal for 2023is to converge hardware, software services in the field of electric vehicle charging. It is to achieve overseas commercialization with one solution and the technology and know-how experienced in Korea.. Since the end of last year, we have been looking for various overseas partnerships such as Europe, USA, Vietnam, etc. Contact and overseas activities are gradually increasing.

In addition, domestic EV charging demand and infrastructure expansion, which are stably established, will continue to expand. B2C service'KEVIT Charging service' is the first in Korea QR Since the introduction of the charging service, we are making efforts to provide convenient charging service to electric vehicle users, Inconvenient to charge electric vehicles. The first goal is to improve various inconveniences in the electric vehicle charging infrastructure until the day it becomes a daily life without the use of electric vehicles.

Finally, our company V2G, DR We will take part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by applying various smart charging technologies such as charging, and move forward to become an energy platform, not just an electric vehicle platform.
