Audi's Latest Charging Hub in Shiba Park

In an exciting development for electric vehicle enthusiasts, Audi Japan has unveiled its newest charging facility, the 'Audi Charging Hub Shiba Park,' located in Tokyo's Minato district. This hub, featuring the latest Hypercharger technology developed by PowerX Co., Ltd., aims to improve urban charging infrastructure and address common challenges faced by electric vehicle (EV) users.

A Step Towards Better Urban Charging Solutions

Opened to the public on April 24, 2025, the Audi Charging Hub Shiba Park is equipped with two fast-charging ports capable of delivering up to 150 kW of power. This initiative is part of Audi's comprehensive strategy to tackle various issues such as the lack of charging infrastructure in urban areas, difficulties in charging at home, and the time-consuming nature of the charging process. The hub will not only cater to Audi e-tron users but will also be available for all BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) users, reflecting Audi's commitment to support sustainable mobility for all.

As the eighth location of the Audi Charging Hub globally, this facility represents the second hub established in Japan, following the successful launch of the Audi Charging Hub Kioicho in 2024. The Shiba Park location provides a much-needed solution for charging in dense urban areas where traditional charging options may be limited.

Innovative Technology with Hypercharger

The standout feature of the Shiba Park hub is the incorporation of PowerX's Hypercharger, a battery-type ultra-fast charger. By utilizing large-capacity batteries, the Hypercharger reduces strain on the power grid while providing convenient ultra-fast charging solutions right in the heart of the city. This not only enhances the user experience but also contributes to more sustainable energy consumption.

While vehicles are being charged, drivers can enjoy the comfort of a dedicated lounge, designed for relaxation during the charging process. It combines premium customer service with state-of-the-art technology, creating an appealing atmosphere for EV users.

Partnerships and Future Prospects

In January 2023, PowerX and Audi Japan solidified their strategic partnership focused on expanding charging infrastructure across Japan. October of the same year saw the first installation of Hypercharger at Audi Hachioji, marking a significant step in the collaboration between these two companies. As of now, Hypercharger units have already been installed in 29 Audi dealerships across the country, greatly increasing accessibility for electric vehicle owners.

The charging stations are also part of a wider initiative known as the Premium Charging Alliance, aimed at providing exclusive charging services to owners of Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen vehicles. This cooperation fosters a robust EV network, encouraging more drivers to transition towards electric mobility.

Practical Information for Users

The Audi Charging Hub Shiba Park is conveniently located at 4-6-8 Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, featuring one Hypercharger that can charge two vehicles simultaneously. To facilitate usage, customers can register in advance and utilize the PowerX app for charging services. More details are available on the Audi Japan website.

For anyone looking to experience innovative charging solutions and contribute to sustainable transport, the new Audi Charging Hub Shiba Park is set to become a key destination in Tokyo. The commitment from Audi and PowerX not only enhances the electric vehicle landscape but also positions Japan as a leader in EV infrastructure advancements.
