Turu Charger, a CPO brand operated by Humax Mobility in South Korea, encompasses the entire value chain associated with electric vehicle (EV) charging, including the development, manufacturing, and supply of EV chargers, as well as the construction and operation of charging service infrastructure. This collaboration with IKEA Korea supports the promotion of EV adoption by fostering a sustainable and eco-friendly mobility ecosystem.
Through this partnership, both companies aspire to lead in the creation of practical and eco-friendly infrastructure, providing convenient EV charging environments not only for delivery trucks but also for customers visiting all IKEA Korea stores.

Leveraging Humax’s extensive experience in the global set-top box market, these chargers feature in-house designed boards and power meters. By internalising key components, Turu Charger has achieved a more compact profile both internally and externally, and has reduced defect rates through advanced power electronics technology, ensuring a more convenient and safer charging experience.
