Background and Objectives
The ENECHANGE EV Charging Service focuses on destination charging: charging at locations where drivers may spend several hours and want to have a top-up charge, such as leisure and lodging facilities, including glamping sites.
Grand Dome Fukuoka Fukutsu, which opened in August 2021, is a comprehensive glamping facility with 16 large oceanfront glamping dome tents facing the Genkai Sea. While aiming to operate a facility that is rooted in the local community, such as offering BBQ options using locally produced and locally consumed seasonal vegetables, the owners aim to improve convenience for guests by introducing the ENECHANGE EV Charging Service.
The number of EVs and PHVs per 10,000 people in Fukuoka Prefecture is 21.2, ranking 19th in Japan*. We anticipate that this will help enhance convenience for EV drivers by allowing them to use the time they spend at the municipal office or by taking a trip to the adjacent park as a chance to charge.
* Calculated by ENECHANGE based on the Next Generation Vehicle Promotion Center’s “Subsidy Grant Status by Prefecture,” the number of EV and PHV subsidies granted (FY2009-2019), and population estimates for October 2019.
