## Background
Toward the realization of carbon neutrality by 2050, the adoption of EVs (electric vehicles) and the expansion of charging infrastructure are rapidly accelerating. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has set a goal to install 300,000 EV charging ports by 2030, highlighting the nationwide need for developing a highly convenient charging environment.
Currently, there are approximately 68,000 charging ports (*1) installed in Japan, and Terra Charge is deploying an infrastructure network on a scale that plays a part in this. Flexible implementation is possible according to the installation facility, user needs, or charging scenarios, and the company is working to create an environment where EVs can be charged anywhere, from homes to destinations.
In addition to the initial, maintenance, and operational costs of the facility being free, Terra Charge's service utilizes Japanese-made hardware to minimize the risk of parts shortages, and is fully equipped with a 24/7 call center as well as payment and management functions. With this high reliability and robust after-sales maintenance system, they will provide an environment that both operators and users can use with peace of mind.
