⚡Korea's electric vehicle charging infrastructure is overwhelmingly ranked No. 1 worldwide

•
As mentioned in the article, South Korea has achieved first place in electric vehicle infrastructure among OECD countries.
◦
Korea also ranked first in the 'charger output per electric vehicle' (kW per EV) indicator, which is key to charger performance, at 6.9 kW.
◦
As of the end of last year, Korea's 'number of EVs per charger' (Charging Points per EV) was recorded as 2.0.
◦
This figure is calculated by dividing the total number of electric vehicles, excluding medium and large commercial vehicles like electric trucks and buses, by the number of chargers; the lower the number, the less the charging burden. Among the 30-some countries surveyed, this is the lowest figure—far ahead of Europe (13), the world average (10), and China (8).

But, thinking from an EV owner's perspective,
◦
As mentioned at the end of the article, there’s still a serious shortage of rapid charging infrastructure.
◦
With fast charging, a full charge takes less than 2 hours (and you get around 430 km when fully charged).
◦
Slow charging often takes anywhere from 8 to 10 hours.
◦
There’s an overwhelming number of slow chargers in apartments and public offices, but for rapid chargers, you mostly have to go to private facilities.
•
Still, the age of electric vehicles is on its way.
◦
Electric trucks aren’t very efficient, but they’re part of a global trend (they need frequent charging and have poor mileage).
◦
Some people argue that rolling out electric trucks is ahead of its time—it’d be best to let the technology develop more.
◦
For regular passenger cars, EVs currently make up 14% of all vehicles, and their share is expected to rise to 18% by 2023.
◦
By 2030, 30% of cars worldwide are projected to be electric vehicles.

해외 사정 보면 국내는 근데 양반이긴 합니다. 완속이 압도적으로 많긴 해도... 이것도 없는 곳 많음... ㅠ
