EV Charger Installation at Keihin Kyuko Bus

In a significant step towards sustainable public transport, EV Construction Co., a subsidiary of Terra Charge Corporation and member of the Japan Bus Association, has successfully installed a 90kW rapid EV charger at the Kurihama Sales Office of Keihin Kyuko Bus. This milestone marks a crucial advancement in the push for electric bus adoption in Japan, aligning with the country's objective for carbon neutrality by 2050.

Background of the Project

The Japan Bus Association has set an ambitious target to introduce 10,000 electric buses by 2030, a goal that has spurred various bus companies to accelerate their transition to electric vehicles (EVs). In this context, Keihin Kyuko Bus has emerged as a frontrunner, actively investing in state-of-the-art EV buses and charging infrastructure. The recent installation project represents part of their ongoing commitment to enhancing EV infrastructure.

The design and execution of the installation from EV Construction were aimed at optimizing the layout, making it more user-friendly. This project underscores the company’s capability to leverage its extensive experience in charging infrastructure installation and operation, ensuring that future developments remain cost-effective and make optimal use of available subsidies.

Details of the Charger Installed

The new rapid charger, positioned at the Kurihama Sales Office located at 2-11-1 Nagase, Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, consists of a separate charging unit with three dispensers. This marks the second setup of the separate rapid charger at the facility, which effectively utilizes limited space by enabling the simultaneous operation of multiple chargers, thereby enhancing the efficiency of EV bus charging.
