The two parties are expected to vitalize the used EV market through this agreement and provide accurate evaluations to improve market transparency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">SK On will be providing consultation regarding battery performance measure and diagnosis to the association based on its independently-developed artificial intelligence algorithm, known as Battery as a Service Artificial Intelligence (BaaS AI), which diagnoses a battery status. The company is planning to actively utilize its analytical skills and the vast amount of data that have been accumulated through cooperation with other companies in the EV industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">SK On already has ongoing projects with used-car trade companies, K Car and AUTOHUB SELLCAR, a rental car company, SK Rent-a-car, and an EV charging platform, EV Infra, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">SK On is currently developing a battery life measuring technology that used-car dealers can start using from the second half of this year. It is regarded as a optimal technology for used car trading as it can assess the remaining battery life quickly and accurately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">SK On made the decision to sign this business agreement with the association because it recognized that there is still a lack of a reliable and reputable evaluation standard for EV batteries in spite of the rapid growth of the EV market. A standard for used-car performance inspections is currently based on that of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This means that the traditional inspection standard is not suitable for used EVs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">The Korea Automotive Inspection and Warranty Association is an organization established under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) with a goal of protecting consumers by inspecting used vehicles&#8217; performance and condition and conducting investigations on their pricing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">Through this business cooperation, the two parties are planning to complete establishing the standards for valuation and diagnosing EVs. In the future, KAIWA plans to distribute a diagnostic device for used EVs, prepare for a general inspection standard on performance and condition of EVs, and suggest system adjustment to MOLIT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">&#8220;Performance diagnosis and residual value evaluations are the starting point of the virtuous cycle of battery resources,&#8221; stated Jeong. He added, &#8220;We will develop various business models that are eco-friendly while providing convenience for consumers in the future.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>[Photo]<\/strong> (Left) Jeong Woo-seong, Head of e-Mobility Business Office, SK On, and (Right) Jeong Wook, President of KAIWA, signed &#8220;Business Agreement on Establishing Standards for EV Battery Status and Valuation&#8221; with each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1180\" height=\"847\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9976\" \/\n<\/p srcset=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4-768x551.jpg 768w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4-1024x735.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4-250x179.jpg 250w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4-810x581.jpg 810w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4-800x574.jpg 800w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4-251x180.jpg 251w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4-418x300.jpg 418w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4-697x500.jpg 697w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/1180-4-210x150.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u25a0 SK On signs a business agreement with the Korea Automotive Inspection and Warranty Association on the 28th to take the lead in standardization of diagnostic evaluations &nbsp; \u25a0 Improving consumer convenience by providing accurate valuation, building a basis for the virtuous resource cycle &nbsp; SK On is joining hands with an expert organization to &#8230; <a title=\"SK On join hands with the Korea Automotive Inspection and Warranty Association to establish evaluation standards for used car batteries\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/archives\/9968\" aria-label=\"Read more about SK On join hands with the Korea Automotive Inspection and Warranty Association to establish evaluation standards for used car batteries\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9973,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4,8,644],"tags":[102,1037,13,1038,1039,648,1036],"class_list":["post-9968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-corporates","category-press-room","category-press-release","category-sk-on","tag-baas","tag-business-agreement","tag-ev-battery","tag-kaiwa","tag-korea-automotive-inspection-and-warranty-association","tag-sk-on","tag-used-car-battery"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9968"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9968\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9977,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9968\/revisions\/9977"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
