ENECHANGE has been providing the EV Charging Service since November 2021 to contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society. 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*1 choice among many businesses for its total support from installation to operation.
ENECHANGE also has the No.1-downloaded*2 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.

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.
