Hanwha Construction said on the 17th that it developed the next-generation ceiling-mounted electric vehicle charging system "EV Airstation," which adds a fire detection function, and will introduce it to Hanwha Forena complexes.
"EV Airstation" is Korea's first electric vehicle charging system in which the connector descends from the ceiling. By applying intelligent power distribution technology, it charges three vehicles simultaneously with a single charger, improving space efficiency and user convenience.
This product simultaneously improves the existing electric vehicle charging facilities' "fire risk" and "charger shortage" issues, and its excellence was recognized with the 2025 Future Innovation Technology Expo "Top Innovation Award."
"EV Airstation" is equipped with ▲ a fire detection sensor ▲ a fire detection camera ▲ PLC (Power Line Communication) functionality for battery–charger information exchange, enabling early detection of abnormalities and proactively blocking fire risks.
Existing electric vehicle charging facilities have faced installation difficulties due to "space occupancy" and "power supply" issues, but "EV Airstation" allows flexible installation by using the ceiling and maximizes operational efficiency with power distribution technology, improving these problems.
Hanwha Construction plans to prioritize supplying "EV Airstation" to Hanwha Forena move-in complexes in 2026, aiming for "zero electric vehicle fires."
Kim Min-seok, head of the architecture business division at Hanwha Construction, said, "EV Airstation is an innovative electric vehicle charging solution that meets charging facility standards without space constraints, including fire detection technology," adding, "Starting with Hanwha Forena complexes, we will focus our capabilities on providing safe and convenient charging infrastructure for electric vehicle users."
