Plago, Japan's first electric vehicle charging manufacturer, has started Green Charging™, which charges with 100% renewable energy, and has completed the procurement of renewable energy certification, which is the first step to be provided.
Background of Green Charging™ Development
In response to the global trend toward decarbonization, the Japanese government has announced a carbon neutral declaration by 2050 and a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 46% from FY2013 by FY2030. Based on these, the conversion of automobiles to EVs and the use of renewable energy are accelerating.In Japan, where power generation methods relying on fossil fuels are the mainstream, the value of reducing CO2 emissions, which is one of the values of electric vehicles, cannot be fully demonstrated. As a charging manufacturer, Plago not only promotes the spread of infrastructure, but also works to solve the power supply problem for electric vehicles. developed.

Green Charging™, which will be launched this time, will enable even facilities without renewable energy power generation facilities to prove that all the electricity used for charging is actually derived from renewable energy if Plago's charger is installed. .
It was developed for the purpose of promoting ESG and SDGs measures by eliminating the introduction burden on companies, local governments, facilities, organizations, etc.
Benefits of Green Charge™ for introduced facilities
Trial calculation example for a golf course (reference: Osamu Saito's "How to Consider the Sustainability of Golf Courses in an Era of Surplus Golf Course Population Decline") Chapter 10 ”Estimated based on Ikki Publishing (2012/12/20) 28-41P)
In the case of an 18-hole facility, based on a trial calculation of 900 tons of emissions per year, the installation of the PLUGO BAR is expected to reduce the amount by about 1%
