(Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Toru Tokushige, hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), which operates the “Terra Charge” charging service for electric vehicles (EVs), We have decided to install one quick charger with a 50kW output at ” (42-3 Usui Azaho Road, Kawasaki-cho, Ichinoseki City, 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 Kawasaki” is a transportation hub connecting inland and coastal areas “Roadside Station Kawasaki” is a roadside station located about 30 minutes by car from Ichinoseki IC on the Tohoku Expressway, the southern gateway to Iwate Prefecture, and 200 meters east of Kitakami Ohashi Bridge over the Kitakami River. This area is surrounded by three rivers, the Kitakami River, the Satetsu River, and the Senmaya River, and has prospered as a transportation and transportation hub since ancient times. Blessed with fertile land, the direct sales store offers a wide variety of locally grown seasonal fresh vegetables and “nostalgic home-cooked flavors” made with plenty of local ingredients. There is also a restaurant attached, which is crowded with many customers. 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.
