Due to the Paris Agreement adopted in 2015 and the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, national governments and car manufacturers are expected to further shift to electric vehicles in the future. Many car manufacturers are planning to launch new electric vehicles from 2016 onwards, and the number of users is expected to increase further in the future. In line with this, the spread of chargers is being promoted and the Government is supporting this with subsidies.

Types of EV chargers
Slow charging Regular charger
These chargers are used in places where cars are parked for long periods of time, such as in ordinary homes.Depending on the type of vehicle, it takes 3-15 hours to fully charge the battery.
*Charging time depends on the amount of storage batteries in the vehicle, the output of the charger, the charging environment and other factors.
The charger itself is relatively affordable and installation is often simple.
| Ex. | Price of the main unit ¥400,000. |
| Construction cost ¥500,000. | |
| Subsidies effectively cost ¥300,000. | |
| *Subsidies are subject to certain conditions for eligibility. |
Speed charging Rapid charger
Chargers recommended for commercial and public facilities where parking time is short.
It can be charged to 80% in 15~30 minutes.
For 50 kw or more, installation of high-voltage power receiving and transforming equipment, power contracts with power companies, etc. are required.
The ability to charge in a short period of time is very much appreciated by electric vehicle users and is in high demand. This is an effective way of attracting more customers.
| Ex. | Price of the main unit ¥2 million. |
| Construction cost ¥2.5 million. | |
| The subsidy actually costs ¥1.5 million. | |
| *Subsidies are subject to certain conditions for eligibility. |
