Eneliver Launches Fast EV Charging Service at Meguro City Hall

Introduction

On March 26, 2025, Eneliver Inc., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, officially launched a fast electric vehicle (EV) charging service at the Meguro City Hall. This service marks a significant milestone as it is the first of its kind in any city hall in the 23 wards of Tokyo. The charging station, located in the southern parking area of the city hall, features two 90kW outlets, offering a total charging capability of 180kW. This makes it not only a high-capacity service but also a user-friendly one, as it allows residents and visitors to charge their EVs 24 hours a day.

Features of the Charging Service

The newly installed fast charging system incorporates the advanced EV charging management cloud system known as "Eneliver Cloud." A key aspect of this service is the pay-per-use pricing structure, which ensures that users are charged fairly based on the amount of electricity consumed (kWh). This innovative model supports Meguro's commitment to sustainability by using renewable energy sources for nearly 100% of the electricity supplied.

Meguro City has set ambitious targets aimed at achieving effective zero CO2 emissions by 2050. To support this goal, various initiatives are being introduced to enhance the convenience of EV usage among citizens and visitors. The introduction of this high-output fast charging system is one of those critical steps to further promote the use of clean energy vehicles in public spaces.

Eneliver's Commitment to EV Charging Solutions

Eneliver specializes in providing comprehensive EV charging solutions for various types of establishments including commercial sites, accommodation facilities, offices, factories, and residential complexes. The fast charging station at Meguro City Hall is equipped with a charger that adheres to the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), facilitating seamless management and operational efficiency.

Through the use of the Eneliver Cloud system, facility managers can effectively monitor and manage the charging infrastructure remotely. They have access to remote management capabilities, output control, and the ability to set charging fees. Furthermore, EV drivers can utilize the dedicated mobile app, allowing them to scan the QR code of the charging station for quick and cashless payment options.

In addition to these functions, Eneliver has recently developed an energy management system (EMS) that optimizes charging output based on the total electricity consumption of the building, solar energy generation, and electricity market prices. This system not only aims to reduce electricity costs but also supports the wider adoption of renewable energy sources, ensuring stable electricity supply even during variable weather conditions.

Continuing on this trajectory, Eneliver plans to introduce innovative services in municipal facilities, including supporting the expansion of EVs for public transportation.
