E-share
“I really enjoyed going to the community center in the new car. It’s so quiet, and the interior is spotless.”
This is the response of a local resident visiting a community center using an electric vehicle provided by Hyundai Motor Group.
The electric vehicle has a sticker with the phrase ‘E-share with Hyundai Motor Group’ written on it. ‘E-share’ is a corporate CSR activity by Hyundai Motor Group, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, World Vision, and the Community Chest of Korea, to provide electric vehicles and chargers to social welfare institutions nationwide.
Public EV Charging Infrastructure for Remote Communities
‘E-share’ is an initiative by Hyundai Motor Group that involves both environmental protection and community outreach, aimed at creating change toward a sustainable future by distributing electric vehicles to remote communities. To this end, the Ministry of Environment Is supporting EV charging infrastructure.
The charging infrastructure provided can be used not only by visitors to social welfare institutions, but also by any local residents who own electric vehicles, significantly contributing to the spread of sustainable transportation in target communities.
“
There weren’t many EV chargers in our area, but now there’s one close to my home, which is great. Plus, the community center is open 24/7, so I can charge anytime.

Tailored Education for Communal Eco-Friendly Practices
Hyundai Motor Group is not only providing these electric vehicles and chargers, but also running educational programs to raise environmental awareness among social welfare institution staff and visitors, addressing global issues such as climate change and renewable energy.
In particular, eco-friendly experiences for children incorporate games and crafting programs, helping the next generation understand the importance of environmental protection in an engaging way.
Launched as a pilot project in 2022, ‘E-share’ has provided support to 120 institutions with electric vehicles and chargers over the past three years.
