About the partnership alliance with eMP

Since November 2021, ENECHANGE has been expanding the installation of 6kW charging ports nationwide under the service name “ENECHANGE EV Charge”, and has also been providing a dedicated app which offers users everything from searching for charging ports to charging and paying. In February 2023, we formed a business alliance with eMobility Power (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Naoko Yotsunayagi; hereafter “eMP”). eMP has built a world in which EV and PHEV users can charge their vehicles anywhere simply by holding up their charging cards issued by automotive OEMs.

EV users have given positive feedback on the partnership, and many are eagerly awaiting the start of the use of charging cards.
