Public charging above 80 percent in electric cars is prohibited

In South Korea's capital Seoul, the authorities have now banned electric car owners from charging more than 80 percent at public charging stations.

It is about making the public charging points available to more people, when the authorities in South Korea's capital, Seoul, prohibit charging to more than 80 percent at public charging stations.

The ban comes into force on 1 September. All public charging points must now be coded to automatically switch off when there is 80 percent current on the individual electric car's battery.

This is written by the newspaper The Korea Herald .

Later, the ban will be extended to also apply to privately-owned lightning charging points which are set up in car parks in the city.

The authorities in Seoul are thus following an example from a charging operator in the US state of California. Here, a charging operator has introduced a charging limit of 85 percent current on a trial basis.

And in California, the goal is for more people to have access to the charging stations that are available. And preferably faster than has been the case.

Back in Seoul, the ban on charging electric cars came just short of an electric Mercedes exploding in a parking garage, sending 21 people – including 7 children – to hospital.

The accident has now prompted a politician to propose that electric cars should be banned from parking garages. The proposal already has a lot of support. Read more about the case here .

At home, there is not yet a mood to limit charging options in public spaces. Not even if the latest sales figures show that electric cars are booming. With state support, electric cars now account for more than half of new car sales in Denmark.

Elsewhere it has collapsed outright. Since the German government removed all public support for electric cars with immediate effect in December 2023, sales have only plummeted. Now for the 7th month in a row.
