What is true carbon neutrality?
We would like to widely deploy regular chargers for EVs in Japan that can be used easily by anyone, after confronting current issues for our future, such as what kind of world will unfold beyond the spread of EVs and what issues does Japan face today.
OUR GOAL
Aim to promote the use of regular chargers for EVs.
EV Market Conditions in Japan
The share of EVs is expanding rapidly around the world, especially in Europe, the United States, and China. In Japan, the spread of EVs has been stagnant over the past several years, but with the start of deliveries of light EVs in the second half of 2022 and other factors, the market has begun to expand, following Europe, the U.S., and China. The EV market is expected to expand significantly in Japan in the coming years.
EV Charging by Purpose
Just as you would charge your smartphone at home, you can use the time when you are not using your car to recharge it. The convenience of EV users will be greatly enhanced by the expansion of basic and destination charging facilities.
01
Basic Charge
Charging in places where you spend a lot of time on a daily basis.
Location : Home, Office, etc.
Parking time : Long
Charging facilities : Normal charger
Number required : According to the number of EVs
02
Path Charge
Charge while traveling to your destination
Location : SA, convenience stores, etc.
Parking time : Short
Charging facilities : Quick charger
Number required : 1 or 2 units
03
Destination Charge
Charge after arrival at destination
Location : Lodging facilities, etc.
Parking time : Long
Charging facilities : Normal charger
Number required : According to the number of EVs
OUR FUTURE
In a future where EVs are widely used, there will be "excessive demand for charging infrastructure," "burden on existing energy infrastructure," and "increased demand for resources." These issues are likely to arise as EVs become more widespread, and we are committed to researching technologies and sustainable solutions to solve these issues.
Currently, Jigowatts has two systems that can solve these challenges.

Demand control for "Multiple Unit Control"
Demand control is a system for systematically controlling the amount of electricity consumed. Demand control makes it possible to suppress increases in basic rates by controlling peaks.

"Optimized Charging" with power generation from renewable energy sources
As EVs become more widespread, demand for electricity may increase sharply in the evening and morning hours. Charging during daytime hours, when a large percentage of electricity is generated from renewable energy sources and supply is high, can contribute to decarbonization and may also reduce electricity costs.

Our Case Studies
Jigowatts
EV Management System
*The image is an example. Actual contents may differ.
Jigowatts chargers can use Jigowatts's proprietary EV management system. Two systems are available with this system: "multiple unit control," which can control the upper limit of EV recharging, and "Optimized Charging," which adjusts the start of recharging in conjunction with the Japan Electric Power Exchange (JEPX) trading market. Please contact us if you are interested in energy management of regular EV chargers, for example, if you want to charge EVs at a low cost, or if you are considering installing multiple regular EV chargers but are concerned about electricity rates.
