Eneliver and Eiwa Electric: A New Era for EV Charging

Eneliver Inc., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is embarking on a significant venture in collaboration with Eiwa Electric Co., a company based in Fukuyama, Hiroshima. Together, they are developing and operating the innovative EV charging app known as Decarbo. Charge. This initiative not only promotes electric vehicle (EV) adoption but also enhances the accessibility of charging infrastructure across Japan.

Background of the Service

Eiwa Electric has been a key player in the installation of energy-efficient systems, including solar power, V2H technology, and eco-cute systems, for many years. With the surge of EVs reaching rural areas, the company has recognized the necessity of establishing a sustainable connection with EV owners that goes beyond the initial installation phase.

Faced with the challenge of regional EV adoption reliant on proper charging infrastructure, Eiwa Electric made the decisive move to operate its own charging services. By leveraging Eneliver's international communication standard OCPP, they aim to develop a unique EV charging app that will be both cost-effective and quick to implement. As a result, users will gain immediate access to nationwide charging locations from the very first day of the service.

Goals of Decarbo. Charge

Eiwa Electric is focusing on three primary markets for the expansion of EV charging infrastructure: commercial facilities, apartment complexes, and businesses. These sectors are currently facing high demand for charging stations due to EV growth, but adoption is often hindered by the costs of installation and regulatory complexities.

In commercial settings, while there is a growing desire to offer EV charging services to visitors, the challenge lies in managing the operational status of charging stations and handling billing efficiently. Likewise, apartment complexes often deter from implementation due to concerns over unauthorized usage by non-residents, creating a barrier for management boards. As for businesses, while there is a need to accommodate fleet vehicles and employee use, challenges in monitoring usage and preventing non-employee access create additional hurdles.

Decarbo. Charge addresses these concerns by offering a comprehensive solution that pairs charging units with the app, facilitating a seamless integration from installation to daily operational management. This allows for flexible operations that cater to each facility's unique needs.

Key Features of Decarbo. Charge

1. QR Code Charging

Users can conveniently begin charging by simply scanning a QR code displayed on the charging unit. They can also check the real-time charging status and receive notifications upon completion.

2. Nationwide Map Search

The platform allows users to search for EV charging stations throughout the Eneliver network, displayed on a map. It includes filtering by output and authentication methods, along with an option to save favorite locations.

3. Charging History

Users can access their charging history, detailing energy consumed and related costs. This feature facilitates better understanding and management of daily energy consumption.

4. Member Lock Feature

For apartment complexes and businesses, Decarbo. Charge provides a member lock feature that restricts access to specific app users, reducing the risk of unauthorized usage. Users can easily register using the QR code for security.

5. Partner Network Strategy

The app promotes a decentralized EV charging platform that encourages multiple businesses to develop their own branded charging services while simultaneously enabling mutual access to the entire charging network.

Visual Representation of the Eneliver Network

By maintaining individual brands, partners gain access to the comprehensive network managed by Eneliver Cloud. Users of Decarbo. Charge will be able to utilize approximately 290 facilities with around 1,400 charging ports, with cross-usage permitted among other apps within the Eneliver ecosystem. The more local contractors that join the network, the more charging stations will be available, thus increasing overall service convenience. This model aims to create a world where users can access any charging station using any app.

Future Outlook

Moving forward, Eneliver plans to strengthen its partnerships with companies like Eiwa Electric and other regional firms. The goal is to provide extensive support ranging from system development and installation to maintenance and financial assistance, tailored to meet the specific needs of each partner. This commitment will contribute significantly to the expansion of EV charging infrastructure across the country.
