Problem

Installing an EV charging station requires passing regulations from 4–6 agencies: Ministry of Environment registration, local building permits, KEPCO power connection, and fire safety approvals. Requirements differ by parking lot type (apartment complex, public, private) and charging capacity (fast/slow), with regulatory amendments occurring 2–3 times per year. Small Business Owners cannot afford administrative agent fees of 2–4 million KRW (~$1,500–$3,000 USD), and self-filing typically results in 3–6 month delays.

Solution

A chatbot-style service where users input charging station type, location, and capacity to automatically generate the required permits list, submission documents, estimated timelines, and costs. It sends alerts when regulations change and provides stage-by-stage checklists and document templates for self-filing.

Target: Parking lot-operating Small Business Owners installing 1–5 chargers, apartment resident representatives, prospective EV charging franchise operators
Revenue Model: Basic compliance check free. Detailed permit Report + document templates at 99,000 KRW (~$74 USD) Per Transaction. Regulatory change alert Subscription at 29,000 KRW/month (~$22 USD).
