LG CNS to build EV charging, smart city infrastructure in U.S.

SEOUL, April 17 (Yonhap) — LG CNS Co., an information technology affiliate of South Korea’s LG Electronics Inc., said Thursday it has signed agreements to develop electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and smart city solutions in the United States.

Under a deal with the New York City Economic Development Corporation, LG CNS will install and operate EV charging stations at the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT), a former military supply base now being redeveloped into a modern commercial, manufacturing hub.

As part of the Pilots at BAT program, the company will also implement a charging and discharging control system, along with a mobile app providing real-time energy usage data for users, according to LG CNS.

LG CNS also signed a separate contract with a U.S. government agency to build smart city infrastructure in Hogansville, Georgia.

The project includes the installation of smart poles and an integrated control system designed to improve public safety, connectivity and urban operations through AI-driven solutions.

LG CNS said it plans to expand its eco-friendly smart city initiatives across the U.S., leveraging its expertise in digital transformation and sustainable infrastructure.
