Derivation Chain

Step 1 Hyundai Ioniq 9 named Car of the Year / EV mass adoption
Step 2 EV charging infrastructure expansion
Step 3 Charging operator site selection & revenue simulation SaaS

Problem

With the Hyundai Ioniq 9 being named Car of the Year and EV adoption accelerating, small-to-mid-size charging operators (sole proprietors and small corporations) are rapidly increasing. However, when selecting charging station locations, operators must individually research nearby EV registrations, existing charger density, and power infrastructure costs. Over 40% of operators suffer monthly losses of 300,000–500,000 KRW (~$225–$375) per charger due to poor site selection.

Solution

Enter a candidate location and the system comprehensively analyzes EV registration density, competing charger status, power infrastructure costs, and projected utilization rates to simulate monthly revenue. Core features: (1) Public data-based analysis of EV registrations and charger density within a 1km radius, (2) KEPCO electricity rate tier-based cost calculation, (3) Time-of-day utilization forecasting and break-even point simulation. The differentiator is quantitative analysis based on public API data.

Target: Sole proprietors planning to enter the EV charging business, building owners with parking facilities, small charging network operators
Revenue Model: Per-analysis report at 59,000 KRW (~$44), monthly plan at 99,000 KRW/month (~$74, unlimited site analyses). Premium Plan at 190,000 KRW/month (~$142, includes revenue monitoring)
