South Korea’s integrated zero-emission vehicle portal, run with the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment, publishes the operating status of the ministry’s public fast chargers. As of 30 October 2026, the portal lists 9,481 chargers, of which 9,373 were available. Thirty-nine were faulty, a fault rate of 0.4%.
Status on 30 October 2026
| Status | Chargers |
|---|---|
| Total ministry public fast chargers | 9,481 |
| Available | 9,373 |
| Temporarily out of service | 69 |
| Faulty | 39 |
| Fault rate | 0.4% |
The portal notes that the total changes as new chargers are added. Temporary suspensions include relocation and construction work; the notice also lists individual sites that were restarted or suspended that day, with reasons such as a transformer not connected or damaged cable insulation.
Repair Times
The portal reports average response times of 3.7 days on a weekly basis and 3.8 days on a monthly basis for all operators together. Figures are also broken down by the four operators of the ministry’s chargers, with fault rates between 0.1% and 1.0%. Publishing this data every few days is a transparency tool: it lets drivers and operators see which problems are cleared quickly and which are not.
What It Means
Uptime and repair time are what drivers notice, and many public programs now publish them. Remote monitoring, firmware updates and quick spare-parts support help hardware stay in service; see how we think about this in our commercial charging solutions approach and the OEM and private-label program program. The EV-RHDC30K-L compact DC charger (about 20–30 kW, OCPP 1.6J) and EV-AC03201T dual-connector AC station (two Type 2 connectors, OCPP 1.6J, RFID) support OCPP 1.6J for remote status reporting.
