The provincial government plans to replace all cars on the island with electric vehicles by 2030. That means hundreds of thousands of EVs and the infrastructure to support them. Mike Laidman has more.

Please install more high-speed battery chargers. At the moment I can only go so far on one charge so I'm limited to making shorter trips.

"급속충전기를 많이 설치해달라, (한번 충전해도) 킬로 수가 짧다보니
장거리 운행하는데 좀 꺼려집니다."

Since 2013, an average of one thousand new electric cars have been registered every year.

But users say there are some major inconveniences which go along with being an early-adopter; mainly there being a shortage of recharging facilities and incompatibilities with battery chargers made for different electric car brands.

As part of Jeju’s mid-to-long-term goals, the provincial government will work to ensure that the necessary infrastructures are in place for all electric vehicles on the island.


There will be 2,900 electric cars in Jeju by the end of 2015, jumping tenfold, to 29,000, by 2017. By 2030, the aim is to have 377,000 electric vehicles on the island, replacing all existing cars with electric versions. There are currently 2,600 chargers for electric vehicles in Jeju, which will increase to over 20,000 by 2017, and 75,000 by 2030.


A total of 2 trillion won will be invested in improving the infrastructure for electric cars.

The current recharging services are either offered at a fee or are too slow, so we’ve made plans to add high-speed battery chargers to the infrastructure.

"민간이 참여하는 유료 충전서비스나 완속으로 인해 충전시간이
상당히 소요되는데 급속 충전인프라도 확충하기 위해 제도에
반영했습니다. "

According to Jeju City, carbon emissions are expected to see a 910,000 ton reduction by 2030, once all existing cars have been replaced. But much remains to be done to achieve that goal.
우선 2020년이 지나면 대당 2천 2백만 원씩 지원되는 전기차 구입 보조금이 중단됩니다.

제주도는 2020년 이후에는 전기차 가격이 지금보다 내려갈 것으로
전망하고 있지만, 소비자 부담이 큰 것은 사실입니다.

[INTERVIEW]
Park Hong-bae / Chief, Jeju Business Industry Division
We will continue offering subsidies for the purchase of electric vehicles through 2020. We project prices will fall by then, and that will spur a natural transition from existing cars to electric vehicles.
<인터뷰:박홍배/도 경제산업국장>
"2020년까지는 저희가 보조금을 지원해서 전기차 시장을
형성시킬 것이고, 이후에는 전기차 생산 회사의 차량 가격 인하를 통해서 자연스럽게 전기차로 전환시킬 계획입니다."

Creating larger electric cars might be another path manufacturers consider, which might help suit the increased number of electric car users in the future. But for now, just having enough vehicles and charging stations remains the main focus.
