Chaevi wins bid to expand EV fast-charging network across Korea

Chaevi, South Korea's leading operator of fast-charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, has secured a government bid to expand its charging network at highway rest stops across the country. The company will install 131 chargers at 29 rest stops under the Korea Expressway Corp.'s 2026 EV charging station construction project, covering major highway corridors in key regions of the country.

The expansion will feature 118 200-kilowatt chargers and 13 multichargers, with 82 of these equipped with North American Charging Standard (NACS) connectors, enabling Tesla drivers to charge without the need for a CCS1 adapter. This initiative will bolster Chaevi's 2025 and 2026 projects, resulting in 167 NACS-equipped chargers installed at highway rest stops, accounting for approximately 62 percent of the company's chargers under these two projects.
