PnC is an international standard technology that, when a charging cable is connected to an electric vehicle, automatically carries out everything from member authentication to charging and payment.

The PnC service had been available only at 83 E-Pit ultra-fast charging stations, Hyundai Motor Group's high-speed charging service. With this expansion, it is now available at more than 1,500 Chaevi stations nationwide.

Hyundai Motor Group plans to expand cooperation with other charging operators in addition to Chaevi to grow the PnC ecosystem.

A Hyundai Motor Group official said, "We will continue to work closely with private charging operators and the government to build an ecosystem that enhances both the convenience and safety of electric vehicle charging infrastructure."
