ENECHANGE to Install EV Level 2 Charging Ports at Five Royal Home Center Stores of Daiwa House Group
ENECHANGE Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tomoya Maruoka) is pleased to announce the installation and commencement of operations of 20 ENECHANGE EV Charge 6kW Level 2 charging ports across five stores of Royal Home Center Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Nishi-ku, Osaka; President: Masaaki Nakayama), a member of the Daiwa House Group.
Background of the Installation
The government has set a target to make the proportion of zero-emission vehicles in new passenger car sales 100% by 2035. Additionally, to accelerate decarbonization, there is a call for further spread of environmentally superior EVs and PHEVs, aiming to increase the sales ratio to 20-30% by 2030. However, parking lots and commercial facilities with charging ports for EVs are limited, making the development of EV charging infrastructure indispensable. Therefore, Royal Home Center has decided to introduce “ENECHANGE EV Charge,” which allows the use of various authentication methods, to enhance the convenience and satisfaction of EV users.

ENECHANGE EV Charge is an EV charging service that allows the use of 3kW/6kW Level 2 charging ports installed at commercial facilities, accommodations, offices, and condominiums nationwide. It offers plans with zero installation and monthly fees, and is the No. 1*2 choice among many businesses for its total support from installation to operation.
ENECHANGE also has the No.1-downloaded*3 free app to allow for easy checking of charge port availability and conducting charging sessions and payment processes. Additionally, it enables searching for charging ports from ENECHANGE and other companies.

In addition to app payments, where the user only pays for the amount charged, charging cards provided by e-Mobility Power and various automobile companies are also available. Furthermore, the “ENECHANGE Passport”, a flat-rate subscription plan of 2,980 JPY (tax included) per month, allows multiple charges during daytime hours and offers significant economic benefits, especially to EV users without home charging facilities.
