Chaebi, Korea’s No. 1 electric vehicle fast charging infrastructure operator (CPO), will start a full-fledged countdown to enter the KOSDAQ market. Based on global competitive R&D capabilities, it wants to become an energy platform beyond simple electric vehicle charging operators.
According to the Korea Exchange on the 9th, Chaebi will conduct demand forecasts for institutional investors from the 23rd to the 27th to confirm the offering price. In response to concerns about temporary demand stagnation (casm) in the electric vehicle market raised by some, Chaebi said she would prove the true essence of “K-charging” to the market by using her unique R&D capabilities and global technology.
Chaebi’s powerful weapon, which is the core of its growth engine after being listed, is the world’s largest R&D center, which was recently completed in Alpha City, Daegu.
The center, which has a total floor area of about 6942㎡ (2,100 pyeong), goes beyond simply making chargers and serves as an “integrated development platform” that performs the entire process from developing next-generation ultra-fast charging technology to testing and global certification.

The inside of the center, which was faced at the scene, was filled with heat emitted by more than 10 types of state-of-the-art equipment, including EV simulators and large environmental chambers.
With the recent surge in electric vehicle sales and the release of new cars of various brands, securing compatibility between electric vehicles and chargers is emerging as a key challenge in the industry.
The EV simulator introduced this time is a device that precisely implements electric vehicles in a virtual environment. No matter what new car is released, compatibility with chargers can be completely verified, so that it can preemptively respond to the rapidly changing electric vehicle market.
The peak of preparation technology is revealed in the ‘Megawatt Charging System (MCS),’ which recently won two gold medals at CES 2026. It is a technology that can buffer electric trucks and buses in 10 minutes by supplying up to 3.75MW of power.

Chaebi’s final destination is not just a charger manufacturer, but an ‘energy platform company’. This sense of goal can be confirmed at the nation’s largest solar and energy storage system (ESS) connected charging station, which was recently opened in Gumi National Industrial Complex 3.
It is the first ‘100% self-powered’ charging station in Korea. It is a structure in which solar power 629kW (kilowatt) and 1.1MWh (megawatt-hour) ESS are connected to a single DC grid to directly produce, store, and trade electricity in a structure that buys and uses electricity.
Ten V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) bi-directional chargers are installed at the site to use electric vehicles as one distributed power generation resource. During the day when power demand is high, cars sell electricity and charge it late at night when the price is low. In particular, ESS using reusable batteries (2nd-life) seeks to realize ESG values by practicing a circular economy.
Lee Geun-wook, head of the R&D division, said, “The future rapid charging station will not just be a place to supply electricity, but a local energy hub linked to various types of eco-friendly power plants. Based on our expertise in the battery sector, we will grow Chaebi into a company that leads the energy transition in the carbon neutral era.”
