Hyundai
Motor, climate industry sign MOU on EV charging infrastructure
By Kim
Eun-jung, Yonhap News Agency - Hyundai Motor Group said Tuesday it will
collaborate with the government to establish a national certification for the
Plug and Charge (PnC) technology to promote the wider adoption of electric
vehicles (EVs).
The
automaker said it signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of
Climate, Energy and Environment and the Korea Environment Corp. on Monday to
establish a national certification system for EV PnC services.
PnC is
an international standard technology that automatically completes user
authentication, charging and payment simply by plugging in a charging cable.
Unlike
conventional EV charging services, which require a membership card or credit
card for authentication, PnC uses encrypted authentication between the vehicle
and the charging station for a more secure and convenient charging.
Under
the agreement, Hyundai Motor Group will transfer its PnC certification
technology and certification authority to the government, helping expand the
technology to a wider network of EV charging stations across South Korea.
