Chavi, the No. 1 operator of domestic electric vehicle fast-charging infrastructure (CPO), has signed a memorandum of understanding with Co-village Company, which is developing the senior life campus "Co-village Goseong," and will proceed to build Korea's first off-grid electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Under this agreement, Chavi will construct an eco-friendly self-sufficient charging station at "Co-village Goseong," a stay-type life campus for 5060 active seniors being developed in Tosung-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do. The station will operate solely on solar power and ESS (energy storage systems) without connection to the KEPCO grid. This marks Korea's first attempt to fundamentally reduce carbon emissions at the power generation stage, and it is expected to provide differentiated mobility experiences for residents and tourists alike.

Chavi plans not only to build charging stations but also to operate a composite charging culture space called "Chavi Stay," which combines F&B, rest areas, and retail services. The company is also discussing participation as a strategic investor (SI) in the Co-village Goseong project's special purpose vehicle (SPC). Through this initiative, Chavi aims to secure priority cooperation rights for the construction and operation of charging stations and Chavi Stay when Co-village expands into future business sites near the metropolitan area, Jeju, or overseas.

Choi Young-hoon Chae Bi (CEO) stated, "Through this agreement, we will seize a key location as a core hub for East Coast tourism and create an opportunity to expand carbon-neutral charging and energy businesses into a new growth axis. We will fully leap forward as a 'comprehensive energy platform company' that encompasses not only the manufacturing and operation of chargers but also solar power, ESS, and V2G."
