 'Gas stations will change'... 
4 oil refinery company, started 
charging business for electric vehicle


In Korea, we have 4 oil refinery company such as SK energy, GS Caltex, Hyundai Oilbank and S-Oil. These companies established a service system with charger manufacturers and charging service companies in order to convert their gas stations to electric vehicle charging station. It is part of a future strategy to respond to the growing demand for electric vehicles.

The oil refining industry is planning to gradually convert the existing gas station to an charging station from next year. All 4 refineries established a cooperation system with electric vehicle charger manufacturers and charging service companies. Is has begun to convert gas stations nationwide into electric vehicle charging stations. Now, we can experience the change in the era of electric vehicles when looking at all four refineries have secured necessary service technologies and product for the electric vehicle charging business. 

Most of refineries have partners and are making models in the form of directly operating charging stations. According to the service business strategy for each company, they plan to establish systematization of charging facilities and service models in its own form from next year. 

As the electric vehicle market is still in its infancy, through government subsidy projects minimizing initial investment, they plan to gradually increase the amount of conversion to ultra fast chargers at charging stations according to electric vehicle demand. SK energy will install and operate 190 charging stations by 2023. GS Caltex will build 160 and Hyundai Oilbank will build 200. From 2022 onwards, the conversion of charging stations is expected to accelerate considering the situation in which there are only a few electric vehicle models capable of super fast charging of 300kW or higher. 

These four refineries plan to expand not only gas stations but also distribution to charging service infrastructure while specializing in specific rates and service systems for corporate customers such as freight electric trucks and electric taxis.

Self-massage using massage ball

 Self-massage using massage ball


With the development of science such as the AI industry, our lives have become more convenient. But, as the frequency of movement of the body decreases, the importance of exercise is being emphasized. Many people know that maintaining the right posture and proper exercise is essential. Including me, it is hard to practice and the amount of exercise decreases. As the posture collapses, it is exposed to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and this causes pain throughout the body. In order to solve these problems, it is important to perform prevention and treatment such as massage, stretching and physical therapy when it is needed. Today I'd like to introduce you the representative areas that needs massage and how to do self-massage. 

How can I recover my unstable body?
Typical musculoskeletal disease include turtle neck, round shoulder, twisted spine and pelvis. If you use a cellphone or computer for a long time, you may get an imbalance in your body. When the body's alignment becomes unstable, certain parts become tense and others may weaken. In this case, the weakened part should be restored to the muscle function. And tensioned areas should be relieve by stretching or massaging. At this time, you can use your hands but you can use a tool called a 'self-massage ball' for more efficient massage. 
Features of self massage ball
The self-massage ball is aimed at relaxing muscles through compression. Because of this, it has a solid and round shape for rolling. The shape is largely divided into two types which single and double. By the way, I personally have both types. The double massage ball can be used to accurately massage the area where both sides are symmetrical around the spine. 
Single Massage Ball : It is a generally known round ball shape that allows intensive massage to areas that are difficult to reach. (Recommended areas : sole, calves, buttocks, thighs, arms)
Double Massage Ball :  It has two single balls attached to it. And, the middle part is a little apart making it look like a peanut. Therefore, it helps to avoid feeling awkward when massaging the back, waist, and pelvis while lying down. (Recommended area : pelvis, waist, back, scapula(between wing bones), under the back of the head, armpits)
Let's take care of yourself anywhere with a massage ball
Body discomfort can come anytime anywhere. In particular, physical discomfort caused by long-term desk work in the office must be managed. Put a massage ball in your bag or keep it in your office drawer and do a self-massage during breaks. You can prevent musculoskeletal disorders and body pain by pressing your body down as you normally do. 
(I'd like to share personal experience. I have all kinds of massage ball including peanut ball and single ball. I prefer trigger point massage ball or literally tennis ball worked good for me. I massage about an hour after work. I have all kinds of pain around neck, shoulder, back, pelvis and hip joint. Without these, I cant even get up next morning. You will be able to find out more video online. Enjoy!)
