Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced that starting from the 1st of next month, the hydrogen sales price at Bucheon Chunui Hydrogen Charging Station will be reduced by 1,000 KRW from the existing 10,900 KRW per 1kg to 9,900 KRW.


This measure was implemented to reduce the charging cost burden for hydrogen vehicle users and to promote the expansion of eco-friendly vehicle distribution. As a result, it is expected that the cost per charge will be reduced by about 4,000 KRW compared to before.


Bucheon Chunui Hydrogen Charging Station began operations in October last year and had been selling hydrogen at a price of 10,900 KRW per 1kg. This price was inevitably set higher due to the hydrogen purchase cost being higher than nearby hydrogen charging stations.


However, despite the increase in purchase costs, the hydrogen sales price at Bucheon Chunui Hydrogen Charging Station has been lowered for the convenience of citizens, which is expected to improve satisfaction among hydrogen vehicle users.
