| Terra Charge Co., Ltd. (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 “Seiun”. It has been decided that one quick charger with a 50kW output will be installed at the Bridge (8705-12 Oaza Nanaori, Hinokage-cho, Nishiusuki-gun, Miyazaki 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: The roadside station “Seiunbashi” is a tourist base where you can see the symbol of the town |
| The roadside station “Seiunbashi” is located along National Route 218, and as the name suggests, it is located at the foot of Seiunbashi Bridge (height 137m above the water surface, length 410m), and was renovated in November 2019. We are now open. From the roadside station, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Seiun Bridge, the symbol bridge of Hinokage-cho, and the view of the adjacent mountains changes its appearance as the seasons change, delighting people. The roadside station, which is a tourist hub in Honmachi, is equipped with a restaurant and a specialty product store, where you can enjoy souvenirs and meals filled with the charms of Hinokage. There is also a tourist information center, where we offer advice on sightseeing, forest therapy, straw crafting, bamboo crafting experiences, and more. We look forward to seeing you there. |
| 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. |
