Greenland Resort to Implement EV Charging Stations

In a significant move towards enhancing the sustainability of Japan's tourism industry, Terra Charge, a company specializing in electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, has announced the installation of 6kW EV chargers at Greenland Resort. This resort, located in Kumamoto Prefecture, is one of Western Japan's largest amusement parks, attracting numerous visitors year-round with its assortment of attractions, hotels, golf courses, and shopping areas.

The collaboration between Terra Charge and Greenland Resort aims to support the shift towards sustainable tourism, as reflected in Japan's national goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. The government plans to expand EV charging stations to 300,000 by 2030, thereby integrating a greener approach into tourist destinations and facilities.

Enhancing Visitor Experience

Greenland Resort is not only a leisure destination but also a pioneer in implementing various eco-friendly initiatives such as LED lighting and recycling programs. The introduction of the EV chargers will allow visitors to charge their vehicles conveniently during their stay. This aligns with the rising demand for “destination charging” services, where tourists can efficiently charge their vehicles while enjoying the resort’s offerings.

The proposed benefits of the EV chargers include:

• - User-Friendly Access: The chargers feature a “guest mode” that allows users to charge their vehicles simply by scanning a QR code with their smartphones.
• - Round-the-Clock Support: Accessible support services are available 24/7 throughout the year.
• - Comprehensive Management System: Integration of smart technologies ensures ease of use and simplicity in management.

Insight from Stakeholders

Toshihiro Higashi, Managing Director of Greenland Resort, emphasized the company's commitment to customer satisfaction and environmental stewardship. “We strive to fill hearts with greenery,” he noted. This partnership with Terra Charge is expected to elevate visitor convenience while fostering sustainable tourism practices within the community.

Ryu Kamimoto, Executive Officer at Terra Charge, described the partnership as a groundbreaking step in merging tourism and energy sustainability, showcasing the innovative possibilities that lie in this collaboration. He pointed out that the company’s EV chargers have been installed in numerous theme parks across the country, significantly enhancing user convenience and satisfaction with competitive pricing and ease of use, particularly with the guest mode QR payment system.
