e-Mobility Power's Comprehensive 2025 Fast Charging Infrastructure Report

On October 1, 2023, e-Mobility Power, led by CEO Kotaro Ikegame, has released its detailed accomplishments regarding the rapid deployment of fast charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) for the fiscal year 2025. The report highlights a significant expansion of charging infrastructure throughout Japan. The company expressed its sincere gratitude to all partners and stakeholders who have been instrumental in the development of the e-Mobility Power network.

Highway Infrastructure Expansion

In collaboration with NEXCO East Japan, NEXCO Central Japan, NEXCO West Japan, and JB Honshi Expressway, a total of 132 locations along highways have seen the installation of 314 rapid chargers. As of March 2026, stations operated by the company across Japanese highways will total 454 locations, equipped with an impressive 1,066 charging ports. Notably, approximately 60% of these locations house multiple fast chargers, with 90 stations featuring chargers capable of delivering a maximum output of 150 kW.

One standout site is the Kiyama PA on the Kyushu Expressway, which has installed two 'Red Multi' rapid chargers, providing up to 400 kW overall output across six ports. These advanced chargers are designed for optimal efficiency, allowing for simultaneous charging of multiple EVs.

General Road Infrastructure Developments

Rapid Charging Station Setup

Further extending the network, partnerships with local governments and businesses have enabled the installation of 566 new rapid chargers at 399 key spots including roadside stations, gas stations, convenience stores, and commercial facilities for the fiscal year 2025. By March 2026, there will be a total of 1,677 public road charging stations operated by the company, accounting for 2,460 charging ports nationwide. Impressively, over 40% of these stations will feature chargers boasting a maximum output of over 90 kW.

Collaboration with Tokyo and Yokohama

Working closely with both Tokyo and Yokohama, the company successfully renewed a rapid charger in Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama, and established two new chargers at a public road station in Shinagawa, Tokyo, throughout early 2026.

Expanding the Charging Infrastructure Network

Beyond the company’s own facilities, an est. 27,122 charging ports have been integrated into the e-Mobility Power network by approximately 1,700 partner organizations, including local governments. This robust collaboration plays a crucial role in enhancing the charging ecosystem across the nation.

Future Initiatives for Enhanced Charging Experience

Development of Next-Gen Chargers

In partnership with Toko Kogaku Co., e-Mobility Power is developing a next-generation ultra-rapid charger, SERA-400, with an impressive maximum output of 350 kW. Scheduled updates to existing stations at the Ebina Service Area will feature these new systems.

Introducing kWh Charging Model

Beginning April 1, 2026, e-Mobility Power will implement a kWh-based billing system at select rapid charging stations, responding to the increasing battery capacities of newer vehicles. Currently, 100 stations have already been upgraded to this model, with plans for future expansion.

The charge system changes align with evolving charging needs, aiming for a more equitable experience for users. Stations not utilizing the kWh model will shift to a billing approach based on location, output, and charging time.

Through these developments, e-Mobility Power continues to pursue a vision of accessible and reasonable charging services, contributing toward a sustainable future for all road users in Japan.
