When I first drove an electric car this year, the first thing I was curious about was the charging fee. There are more and more charging stations, but I was a bit confused when I heard that each charging station charges differently, so I compared them one by one whenever I had time, and today I will summarize them.

Personally, I use KEPCO EV most often because it is cheaper and has a good app discount.
Everon and StarCorp vary slightly depending on the location, and some places feel expensive.
The most reasonable combination
For me, these are the best combinations for price and accessibility.
Best value for money: KEPCO EV + charging discount card
Fastest charging: T-Map EV Super Fast (but more expensive)
No-frills option: Ministry of Environment public charging (nationwide network + stable rates)
Practical tips
To save money on charging, the time of day is also important.
Late at night is relatively cheaper, so try to charge after 11pm if possible.
Also, there are many credit cards that offer discounts on charging fees, so getting one can save you tens of thousands of won per month.

Use a price comparison app
It doesn’t matter how cheap the charge is if there’s a long line or slow speed.
That’s why I use the following apps in parallel.
EV Infra >> Check rates, speeds, and availability of nearby charging stations.
Charging for All >> Specializes in finding the lowest price.
T-Map EV >> Allows you to analyze speed/wait/time overall.
Thanks to these apps, I can find just the right place to charge without waiting in traffic.
In 2025, EV charging rates will vary by more than 100 cents per kWh depending on the provider. It’s only a few hundred won, but on a monthly basis, it makes a big difference. The Ministry of Environment’s public rate is okay, KEPCO’s EV is cost-effective, and T-map is high-end because of its speed.
If you were worried about charging fees, I hope this post helped you.
