Excellent video! Thanks so much for the instructions and insights :)
Hi there, thank you so much for this video! I think you might have converted me to use EV instead of Gasoline. Also thanks for the nice chat in Singapore over the weekend and the tips you gave us all at KTO Singapore. Hope to chat up with you in April 2024 when we are heading there for a week of exploration. Take care and thanks again :)
thank you so much. i intend visiting Jeju soon and will like to try.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, very useful!
We are happy you found our video helpful! Let us know if you need any other information about Jeju!!
Thank you for this video
This is one of the best instructional videos on any topic I’ve seen in a while. Thank you so much. I’ve reserved an Ioniq 5 from Lotte - can’t wait!
I wish you have wonderful trip and don't forget to bring international driving license!
Great video my friend!!!!
Was not sure if I should rent an EV in Jeju, now I have no doubt. 👍
Thank you for watching our channel and kindness comments :)
I'm glad this video helps to decide to choose EV. Hope you have safe travel!!
40 mins of charging= gives 30 kwh= gives 180km of fuel(from142km intial to 315km final)= 7 usd(8000 won)( based on video above). total fuel is 430 kw=72.6kmh=14 usd.(full tank). pressing 5000 won as default is good advise=100km of fuel
Oh wow, this is really very helpful & informative. Thanks so much. Just planning to rent an EV during our next trip to Jeju. may I know roughly how much will it cost fully charge for a hyundai Kona EV & Kia Niro EV. I was considering between this 2 models, but i search some info online, kona EV seems like charge faster than Niro EV. Niro just have more trunk space.
Hi, Rikku Lee! Thank you for watching our channel. Wow, you have a plan to rent an EV when you visit Jeju! How awsome :) Well, I'm not sure about the full charge cost for Kona & Niro. Because, most of EV rental shop suggest their own charging card which is normally 5,000won per day. And if you buy this card you don't have to charge back when you returning your car. FYI, if you rent for 3 days, the charging card cost will 15,000won. Some people said, when they use this card during their trip, they olnly charge once and it cost about 10,000won.) It's better to ask the EV rental shop directly ;)
Hi I was wondering if EVs share similar requirements like the gasoline cars where we have to top-up (in the case of an EV, charge) before return of the car?
Looking to rent a Tesla for about 2-3 days in Jeju and I think the battery should last throughout but just wondering if I have to charge it before returning it? (I'm thinking that they will have chargers back at the Lotte Auto House when we return it?)
Sorry for late reply. EVs also need to be recharged when they are returned, just like any other vehicle. But don't worry, there are so many EV charging stations in Jeju Island, it won't be difficult ;)
Will be heading to korea next week and found a promotion where lotte car rental centers are proving free ev charging cards [that must be returned after ur car rental period] so hopefully that'll help w/the credit card issues at these charging stations!
How did it go?
Hi, very informative video thats great for my upcoming trip. A couple of questions that i have.
1) Does the rental company give a brief description on how to charge?
2) How do i know how much i need to charge?
3) In the event i selected more amount than i needed eg.3000krw but my full charge is only 2300krw, will there be a balance amount refund?
Hi Vincent, hope we are not too late with the answers.
1. Most companies will briefly tell you how to charge, but you will have to do it yourself to understand it. Or refer to this video on your trip.
2. You will have to calculate how much to charge according to the electric consumption/how much battery is left/cost per kWh.
3. Yes, the chargers will refund the balanced amount.
Thank you for this informative Vlog.
My three questions are:
1. How much is the average parking fee at a tourist public area, and parking fee at a hotel/mall?
2. Around how many kilometers is it to see the main sites of Jeju including the islands?
3. When renting an EV, is it required to return the car in full EV charged? Or can it be returned as it is?
Thank you once again.
1. Normally parkinglot in tourist attraction is free. And for public parking lot, it depends on the time and place, but it's usually cheaper than 2,000 won. Also if you rent EV car of Hybrid, fee will be half.
2. Jeju is big island. SO how long you will drive will be depending how you plan your trip.
If you make schedule that stay in nearby, it will be short.
3. As I know, you don't need to.
But for accurate information, contact to TIC chat service.(bit.ly/jejutic)
Loved this! Everything was well-explained and simple to understand. I loved having the English options for the GPS but I'm currently learning Korean anyways so it's nice to know I can still fall back on my English in case I get lost...
Is there any special licence required to rent/drive an EV in Jeju? Like an international licence perhaps? Great video, though! Can't wait to book my trip :-)
Wow! You are studying Korean?? That's awesome! Then you'll have no problem with using any of the Korean GPS applications here...;)
You'll need an international driver's permit and your passport(or other types of ID) to rent a car in Jeju.
You can refer to the following CZcams video we posted earlier this year!
czcams.com/video/OjVUcf0a4iQ/video.html
@@VisitJejuGlobal Great thanks, will definitely do that! And yeah, I've been studying Korean for almost a year, it's such a beautiful language!
Great Video!
I am contemplating between Tesla or Ioniq 3. Is there any reason why you don’t recommend Tesla? Is the map on Tesla not accurate?
Thank you for watching our channel. Well, as far as I know, there isn't particular reason that didn't recommend Tesla.
However, if you want more information, plz contact to the Jeju Tourism Information Center (9 a.m. to 6 p.m.) through online chat or phone, we will provide you with the most accurate information at that time

happy for the video, but I still see differing comments I wonder what's the latest.
Is my issue solved as long as I have a basic TMoney card? meaning I can use all chargers on the network?
I checked with the inquiry phone and found that T-money was available in the past, but now it is not available.
Card payments also vary from charger to charger.
Chargers without a card reader can only be charged through membership cards.
But there are many chargers in Jeju Island, so you don't have to worry.
For more information contact to our online chat service(bit.ly/jejutic)
Great video. Thank you for sharing key info to EV use. However for tourists, we don't have a Korean credit card. Are overseas credit cards accepted?
I asked the charger company and they said it's different for each charger. There are some devices that require membership to charge (no credit card terminal), and there are some devices that can use Visa cards.
For accurate information, contact to our chat service(bit.ly/jejutic)
Hi, thanks for the informative videos, especially this one who helped me to decide in renting an EV in my Jeju trip which just ended. However, my EV charging experience was not that pleasant as the few public EV chargers that I found did not support foreign credit cards, so it gave me some difficulties in charging my EV. Luckily the homestay that I stayed had a EV charger so it kind of solved the issue in certain ways. Maybe this is something Jeju can improve on - make all or most of the public EV chargers to support foreign credit cards, so it would be more friendly for foreigners to rent a EV in Jeju, and support the Jeju Green initiatives. We had a great time in Jeju though. Thanks! :)
Hi, rookskl! Thank you for your advice. As the number of tourists using electric vehicles increases, most rental car companies nowadays offer services such as renting a card that allows electric car charging. Jeju is also continuing to make efforts to modify and improve related matters. We kindly ask for your continued interest in our channel and Jeju Island in the future. :)
@@VisitJejuGlobal do lotte car rental provide EV charging card?
@@skyfiery3 Per official reply on 17 Apr 2023, EV charging card is not available. It is recommended to go to the jeju branch and charge it. Charging at the Jeju branch is free.
Thanks for sharing. I will be renting ev when my family travels in mid Dec. By the way you have mentioned not all ev stations except the credit cards, does it mean it is better for us to get T-money card ?
Hi, Evon Lim! Thanks for wathing our channel. As you said, the payment card can be different for each charging station, so usually at the rental company provide ev station cards as an option.(eg. 5,000 won per day)
HI It's Great Helpful Me To Jeju Trip , I Plan Rent IONIQ 5 Around Jeju , But May I Use Telephone No. To Find The Store or Destinaion ? And Is IONIQ 5 Support Smart Phone Connecting ? Because Everbody recommend Naver Map To Be Main GPS System , So If The IONIQ 5 Can Support Naver Map Maybe Can Help More tourist , Thk Your introduce
Hi, PunkD@ft! Thanks for watching our channel. The navigation installed in rental car vehicles is usually applied with a different map for each company, not Naver Map, but most of them can be used without a big error. Of course, you can search by phone number. Well, If you prefer to use Naver Map, there is also a way to download and use the mobile phone APP. :)
Hello, what you have mentioned that "limited 1 hour" parking time. Is that apply to all locations? Sound like 1hour charging time are not enough for certain cases, so it very stress when I visit a tourist spot and I have to rush back within 1 hour >< sound like a joke
There are two types of electric vehicle chargers available: fast chargers and standard (slow) chargers.
The fast charger is the type that allows for a charging time of 1 hour.
For standard charger you can park up to 15 hours.
This is to prevent occupying the charging station and block other vehicles from charging.
We kindly ask for your understanding regarding this regulation.
If you have more question, contact to our online chat service(bit.ly/jejutic)
Hi, if I have an international debit card (Wise) , can I use it at the charger? Thank you! :)
Maybe yes. But because there is many charger company, it can be differ from the charger
And even some charger don't have credit card terminal(only for member who have membership card)

What's the requirements for renting a EV?
Same as normal car rent.
You need international driving license in card.
Hyundai should sponsor this amazing video!!
If you have any friends in Hyundai or Kia, spread the words, please...;)
Is foreign credit card acceptable?
If your credit card is issued for international use, and has as IC(integrated circuit) chip, you can use your credit card to charge an EV in Jeju.
@dyvr How do you manage to pay for the ev charging station in the end?
@@realsojumanI am currently in Jeju but unable to locate a charging station which allows international card and I do not have a Korean credit card. Care to share some places that allows the use of non-Korean credit card?
Oh yes pls share which EV network accepts international credit cards.
@@jasonmarcellus I spent days going around trying to look for a charger that accepts non-korean credit card and eventually found SS chargers (charging company name Straffic) at the bigger e-Marts (Jeju city & Seogwipo) that accept my credit card. Charging company JoyEV could also accept but I only tried at Jeju Shinhwa resort area, but slow AC charge, not the DC ones. I rented from Lotte Rent-A-Car but they do not provide charge cards, no instructions from them that most chargers do not accept non-korean credit card until we encountered the problem.
