(Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Toru Tokushige, hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), which operates “Terra Charge”, a charging service for electric vehicles (EVs), is located at the roadside station “Mino”. We installed one quick charger with a 50kW output at “Shirakawa” (3500-1 Kawahigashi, Shirakawa-cho, Kamo-gun, Gifu Prefecture) and started providing services from October 22, 2024. ●Background 1: The government is promoting the development of EV charging infrastructure, and roadside stations are also required to function as disaster prevention bases In order to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050, the spread of EVs and the expansion of EV charging infrastructure are rapidly accelerating. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has set a goal of installing 300,000 EV chargers by 2030 (currently 40,000), and there is a need to improve the charging environment nationwide. In addition, until now, the role of roadside stations has mainly been as “places to provide services for passing road users” and places where they can take a rest with peace of mind, but from now on, each “roadside station” will be able to create ideas freely Based on the enthusiasm of the local people, there is a need to accelerate initiatives for further regional revitalization, such as tourism and disaster prevention, by combining the strengths of the public and private sectors. EVs have a power storage function, and in the event of a disaster, EVs can act as “running storage batteries” and supply electricity to areas where electricity has not yet been restored. Therefore, EV chargers not only serve as daily infrastructure for local residents and tourists who own EVs, but also play an important role in times of disaster. 2: Roadside station “Mino Shirakawa” is a place for relaxation and interaction where local people and people from nearby and outside the prefecture gather The roadside station “Mino Shirakawa” is located at the entrance of Hidaji on National Route 41, and has been used by many customers since its opening as a rest facility connecting Minoji and Hidaji. In the roadside station “Mino Shirakawa” area, where the national highway, JR Takayama Main Line, and Hida River intersect, there is “Piacere” with a restaurant and souvenir corner, and “Yoiichi 41” which opened in 2018. 】 “Shirakawa Vegetable Village Ciao” ​​and “Temahima no Store” are open and selling special products from the local Shirakawa Town and surrounding areas, providing a place for locals and people from nearby and outside the prefecture to gather for relaxation and interaction. It is also a place. We will continue to provide locally produced products that are safe and secure, and aim to be a facility that is filled with smiling faces and many “Piacere” (nice to meet you), and a place where everyone who gathers can feel wonderful. 3: TerraCharge is a service that places less burden on local governments We have realized the provision of an EV charging service with no initial, maintenance, and operation costs for the facility, and are proceeding with the installation of EV chargers across Japan. Our chargers are made in Japan, so there is little risk of parts being out of stock, billing settlement and management functions are available, and we have a call center available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you can feel safe in operation and after-sales maintenance. We provide services. ●Details of chargers that have started providing services Facility name: Roadside station “Mino Shirakawa” Location: 3500-1 Kawahigashi, Shirakawa-cho, Kamo-gun, Gifu Prefecture URL: https://roadside-minoshirakawa.co.jp/ Charger specifications: 1 quick charger (50kW) Service start date: October 22, 2024 Usage fee: 38.5 yen per minute (tax included) Image
