FULL TOUR OF A TYPICAL DC FAST CHARGING PARK IN SOUTH KOREA!

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth look at a typical DC fast charging park in South Korea, featuring the new Hyundai IONIQ 9. The reviewer highlights the station's amenities, including canopy cameras, lighting, and a six-stall setup, noting its advanced design. While the charging experience in cold weather initially showed slower speeds and a 94 kW limitation on some chargers, the reviewer eventually found high-power chargers (posts 1-4) capable of delivering over 200 kW to the IONIQ 9, praising its performance, which exceeded the EV9's at similar states of charge. The reviewer also noted the convenience of credit card payment and the prevalence of Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles. A key takeaway is the 80% charging limit implemented at this station, intended to optimize turnover for fast-charging vehicles, though the reviewer questions its universal applicability. The charging session concluded with a respectable 42 kWh added in 12 minutes to reach 80% state of charge.
