Study on EV charging infrastructure in Jeju Island

The provincial government of Jeju Island made a plan to make Jeju Island a carbon-free region by 2030 and has made great strides in implementing it. An important sub-plan to construct the carbon-free island is to have electric vehicles (EVs) on the island. The EV penetration plan is scheduled to replace 30% of the vehicles with EVs by 2020 and 100% of the vehicles with EVs by 2030. To allow the smooth entrance of EVs in the island based on the plan, EV chargers will be needed in many places. This paper introduces a plan by the Jeju provincial government to construct EV charging infrastructure. In addition, this paper presents the status of chargers provided in the respective regions, and discusses the recent changes in the policy for constructing EV charging infrastructure and its reasons.
