Introduction

In a landmark decision, Tokyo Kyosai Hospital, managed by the National Public Service Mutual Aid Association (KKR), will become the first hospital under KKR to install electric vehicle (EV) chargers. This initiative, led by Terra Charge Inc., aims to not only foster environmental sustainability but also enhance the convenience for hospital visitors and local residents.

Background of the Initiative

As Japan moves towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, there is an increasing push to expand the use of electric vehicles alongside the development of supporting charging infrastructure. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has set a target of installing 300,000 EV charging stations across the country by 2030. One crucial aspect of this initiative is "destination charging," which is particularly beneficial for places like hospitals—areas where people naturally spend time and may require charging facilities.

The integration of EV chargers into public medical facilities like Tokyo Kyosai Hospital aligns perfectly with the growing need for such infrastructures, as it offers both convenience for users and a platform for local engagement with sustainable practices. By establishing charging points in such widely used locations, Terra Charge hopes to significantly drive the adoption of EVs within the community.

Implementation Details

Location: Tokyo Kyosai Hospital, 2 Nakamaguro, Meguro-ward, Tokyo
Charger Specifications: 50kW (single port)
Utilization Fee: According to Terra Charge's pricing structure
Start Date of Operation: Scheduled for January 2026

This introduction of EV chargers transforms the way not only patients and employees approach transportation but also reflects a broader commitment to environmental stewardship. Through this initiative, Tokyo Kyosai Hospital will be paving the way towards a more sustainable and user-friendly transport infrastructure.
