EVSMART Blog Electric vehicles and rapid chargers comfortably

Next -generation standard equipment

The latest case series of Yusa Stand, which promotes charging equipment installation service with a billing function.This time, I visited an elegant condominium in Shibuya -ku, Tokyo.

Currently, many of the EV owners living in apartments will go to the public quick charging station several times a week, as if they stopped by a gas station.However, home charging is the original use of the EV, and it is very convenient to be charged while sleeping.In addition, in 2022, new EVs that are attracting attention for both domestic and imported vehicles are expected to be more crowded than ever before.In addition, as if to be overwhelmed, some city halls and roadside stations have removed the rapid chargers that have reached the update period because they cannot be profitable.

In other words, as the number of EV owners increases and the need for society increases, it is expected that the apartment will be charged in the future and the natural era will come.I imagine that many people have experienced narrowing down with "free Internet" or "automatic locks" when searching for properties, but more consumers will soon seek "EV charging equipment".

Systemic effect of update

Currently, Mr. T, the president of an apartment, has a long history of working in several overseas countries, and in Europe and the United States, the residents of condominiums are actively updating buildings, and says, "The residents protect the value of the property.He felt strongly the consciousness of what to do.From that experience, since becoming the chairman in 2019, it has been waterproofing the roof, updating the piping, a sash of windows, a security camera, and a light bulb in the common area.The LEDs and others seemed to have purchased them on Amazon and replaced them with the person in charge of the management company.

It seems that the Charging equipment of the EV has been considered several times in the past, but it was difficult to know who used electricity.However, some residents who are already riding an electric vehicle (i-mieV) have said that "the free charging spots that were nearby are no longer available" and that the future condominiums need to have EV charging equipment.It is Yuasa Stand who searched for information on the Internet.It seems that it was a decisive factor to apply for a subsidy application, and, above all, there is a billing system that manages "who used electricity".

There are nine sections underground parking lots.At first we were planning to set up an outlet, but the flow of the world is heading for the EV, and the light bulb has been used to remove the electric capacity of the common area, so 2 in the future.We have to install five 200V outlets in one percentage in the car room.The control panel for the billing system was able to reduce construction costs by reusing the wiring duct of the old security camera.

In this way, with the updates of each part and a little research, we were able to get the added value that was as good as a nearby new apartment while keeping the costs down.By the way, the next plan is to put a solar panel on the roof, and the new apartment is full of deep blue technology.

In addition, there is a tailwind for charging in apartments, such as the increasing number of systems that can be charged even in mechanical parking lots, and deduction for dedicated electricity for ordinary chargers.It can be said that the merit of the amount spent is great.

As a management union for condominiums, I think that there are not many cases in Japan that the residents are actively developing these initiatives (examinations and suggestions for updates).I don't intend to say badly about general and Japanese management companies, but the staff of the management company is full of existing jobs, and it will be difficult to increase new jobs other than large -scale repair.In this interview, the residents who have purchased the condominiums have a sense of "protecting their own assets by themselves" and acting, rather than waiting for the proposal for updates from the management company.I felt it through.
