Chabi, a domestic operator of electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging infrastructure (CPO), has signed a strategic partnership with Hyundai Motor and will launch an exclusive EV charging subscription product for Hyundai Motor customers in May.

This collaboration was launched to lead the mobility ecosystem of the 1st million EV era by improving access to charging infrastructure and alleviating the burden of usage fees. According to statistics from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, as of March 2026, the cumulative number of EVs sold in Korea reached 1,020,094, surpassing the 1st million mark. The penetration rate of EVs among newly registered vehicles in March stood at 25%.

Sales in the first quarter of this year reached 87,665 units, setting a record high, and annual sales are projected to reach approximately 400,000 units. The exclusive subscription product offered by Chabi targets customers who take delivery of new vehicles in 2026, with benefits applied regardless of the delivery timing. Subscription fees are set at 19,900 won or 9,900 won per month, and enrolled customers can use Chabi's ultra-fast and fast-charging networks at discounted rates for the remainder of 2026.

Key benefits include a flat discounted rate of 299 won per kWh when using Chabi or roaming partner charging stations, a 10% discount when purchasing Chabi credits of 10,000 won or more, and a discount coupon for the premium hand-wash service "Chabi Wash" offered at Chabi Stay, a composite charging culture space.
