Caelum Co., Ltd.
Mobile EV charging station “Mobile SS Hinohara” has been opened at “Village Hinohara”, a members-only residential coworking space and related population base in Hinohara Village, Tokyo. Demonstration experiments for secondary transportation using small EVs have also begun.
Promoting the need to generate electricity using renewable energy ……
An idea that was unlikely. A decisive factor in resolving the lack of charging infrastructure.

[Summary] Caelum Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Udagawa-cho, Shibuya, Tokyo / Representative: Takayoshi Togawa / Hereinafter referred to as Caelum) has launched “Mobile SS Hinohara”, a camping trailer equipped with a 200V EV normal charging system, to members of Hinohara Village. We have opened a coworking space called Village Hinohara. Solar panels installed on the roof of the trailer can charge electric vehicles with renewable energy. Additionally, Hinohara Village is located in a mountainous area with limited public transportation and narrow roads, so we will begin a demonstration experiment for a limited time as a secondary means of transportation using small EVs. This project will be implemented after being selected as a leading project for 2021 under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s “Tama Innovation Ecosystem Promotion Project.” [About Mobile SS] MOBILE SS aims to be the next generation of “SS = Service Station”, which means a conventional gas station, and has newly named it “SS = Sustainable Station”. By making itself mobile, a mobile charging station can not only supply energy even to places without infrastructure, but also, like a traditional gas station, become a hub of local information and foster added value for the area. is. In the first project, “Mobile SS Hinohara,” TRAIL HEADS (Trail Heads Co., Ltd.), which handles many creative office spaces, has equipped a camping trailer used as a mobile office with solar panels and a large-capacity lithium-ion battery. This is a mobile EV charging stand that also includes a 200V regular charger specifically for EVs. It is possible to use the charging time meaningfully as a workday in the rich nature of Hinohara Village, known as Tokyo’s only village located 90 minutes from Tokyo. In addition, by towing a trailer, you can perform normal 200V charging even in places where there are no charging facilities. In addition, by using renewable energy such as sunlight, the system is designed to raise awareness of environmental considerations.

[Secondary transportation using small EV] GLM Co., Ltd., a Kyoto-based EV developer, will be using the small EV “MiMoS”, which meets light vehicle standards, for a limited time as a demonstration experiment for secondary transportation in this project. I will do it. Even in the mountainous area of Hinohara Village, where there are large differences in elevation, you can use it freely within the village without worrying about cruising range, and small EVs are also suitable for country roads such as narrow mountain roads. . Compared to electric scooters and other types of e-mobility, they allow you to move safely and comfortably without being affected by rain and wind, making it easy to get around the area. -Mobile SS Hinohara- You can experience the local production and local consumption of electricity by moving around using the electricity generated by its solar panels. *Please make a reservation for the small EV “MiMoS” & work experience (free) from the link below.

[Aim of Mobile SS] Hinohara Village, known as the only village in Tokyo, is located in a mountainous area, so the sunlight hours are short, and the power generated by solar panels alone can cover all electricity, including charging EVs. There may be limits to this. Therefore, we plan to supplement the power shortage by charging the trailer’s battery from external power using 100V household electricity at night. Even if the amount of electricity generated is small, it is meaningful to use the generated electricity meaningfully, and we will promote the importance of operating SS (sustainable stations) by making full use of the technology that is currently available. is the aim. In the future, we hope that through the activities of Mobile SS Hinohara, we will receive orders and consultations for mobile charging stations, and that we will be able to change our awareness of renewable energy to a more realistic perspective. [About MiMoS] MiMos is a light vehicle standard EV handled by GLM Co., Ltd. Using GLM’s technology and experience, we use GLM’s technology and experience to improve the specifications of European vehicles manufactured by overseas manufacturers to standard vehicle standards to comply with domestic safety standards and light vehicle standards, thereby achieving registration as light vehicles. . MiMoS, which is
characterized by its compact size compared to light vehicles, is the most suitable for Japan’s road conditions and living environment, and was introduced in this project as a demonstration experiment for secondary transportation in the mountainous area of Hinohara Village. GLM Co., Ltd. sells and leases MiMoS to companies and various governments that are considering introducing EVs as a sharing service or as fleet vehicles. [About Caelum Co., Ltd.] A publishing company that publishes fashion and culture magazines. -Mobile SS Hinohara- is a project mainly conceived by the online motor magazine “DRIVETHRU(R)” operated and distributed by Caelum. DRIVETHRU(R) specializes in content production that intertwines car culture with cutting-edge areas in the automotive field both domestically and internationally, and communicates the image of next-generation mobility from a wide range of perspectives. In 2021, the converted EV with Oz Motors won the Good Design Gold Award. “Mobility Studies” will be offered at Kyoto University of Arts and Arts from fall 2023. [About Village Hinohara] Located at the headwaters of the Tama River system, Hinohara Village, the only village in mainland Tokyo, is a small village with a population of approximately 2,000 people. Despite its easily accessible location within 50km of the city center, the traditional lifestyle, beautiful green mountains and clear streams remain, and with the spread of new ways of working and living, it has become a popular destination for telework, workadays, and migration. It is attracting attention. “Village Hinohara” was born in Hinohara Village as a place where villagers, immigrants, teleworkers and nomadic workers from outside the village can work together and create new value while interacting with the local community. This is a public and private project where Hinohara Village will install the building and Anadromas, a general incorporated association, will lease and operate the facility. In Tokyo’s “Village”, the facility is likened to one “Village”, and members work together in one space, gather around the fire together, share various activities such as outdoor activities, while getting familiar with the nature and culture of Hinohara Village. By doing so, we will form a community that connects the city and the mountains. We hope that this movement will eventually create new value for the region and lead to the “Villaging” of Hinohara Village.
