(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), It has been decided that one quick charger with a 50kW output will be installed at “Kunifudai” (5-3 Doya Doya, 9th Chiwari, Fudai Village, Shimohei District, Iwate Prefecture). ●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 Aonokuni Fudai” is a tourist base with good access from stations and ICs Fudai Village is located on the 40th parallel of north latitude on the northern coast of Iwate Prefecture, and is surrounded by the rich nature of the sea and mountains. The roadside station “Aonokuni Fudai” is adjacent to Fudai Station on the Sanriku Railway Rias Line, and is an oasis for those visiting for sightseeing or business, with a spectacular view from the Sanriku Railway and a 1-minute drive from Fudai IC on the Sanriku Coastal Road. It has become a place. The roadside station “Aonokuni Fudai” sells kelp products, a specialty of Fudai Village, as well as seasonal agricultural products.You can also rent bicycles and visit the nostalgic shopping street and learn about the lives lost in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
