SOCAR and Apex Mobility presented a three-step roadmap to South Korean officials to develop Jeju island as an autonomous driving hub, combining electric vehicle adoption, autonomous car-sharing, and robo-buses with an active V2G grid storage demonstration already underway under regulatory sandbox approval.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building autonomous mobility or grid-integration tech, Jeju just became a live testbed with government backing and a pre-built customer (SOCAR) running V2G at scale. The regulatory sandbox path they've opened—three ministries aligned on one island—is the template for moving from lab to real revenue in Asia-Pacific.
