Started efforts to realize a sustainable society

On April 7, 2021, Cosmo Energy Group (Cosmo EG) Cosmo Oil Marketing sent a news release entitled "We will launch Mobility Service for EVs with renewable energy (wind)."

In order to create a new mobility service centered on EVs, to create a sustainable society, including shifts to a silly society, installed a quick charger in SSs around the country and the SS bases.It is about starting the car sharing service of the EV.

The quick charger is supplied by the "Cosmo Denki Business Green", which is a power of zero real CO2 emissions using a non -fossil certificate linked to the wind power power supply of the affiliated cosmo epic power.Electric vehicles that use a quick charger can be charged with no real CO2 emissions.

I asked questions about future plans, etc.

It was announced in June 2020 that Cosmo Oil Marketing will proceed with the installation of a quick charging device in the affiliated SS in cooperation with E-Mobility Power (EMP), and was introduced as an article on the EVSMART blog.In this announcement, the plan will start with the plan, and the topic of EV car sharing will be added to expand.

The official website of the EV charging service of Cosmo Oil Marketing is also explained on the official website.The 4SS in the Tokyo metropolitan area was installed on the quick charger of the "e-Mobility Power Charging Service" announced this time.There are also four SSs that have installed a quick charger for "COSMO EV Charge", which had been developed by the company.Cosmo EV Charge's rapid charger cannot be used with an EMP tie -up charging card.

How is the service expanding from now on?I asked Cosmo EG about points that could not be read only from the April news release.

● Is EMP installed for a quick charger?

That's right.EMP has set up a quick charger, and the Cosmo Energy Group utilizes SS as a charging infrastructure base, providing car care services to EV customers, and substance by Cosmo -Eco Power, a 100 % subsidiary of Cosmo Energy Holdings Co., Ltd.Supplies 100 % power of renewable energy.The supply of real red energy 100 % power is targeted by "Self -pure Shinjuku Chuo" as of May 14, 2021.

● What are the future expansion plans for EMP charging service handling SS?

SS SS, which has a quick charger that provides EMP charging services through a collaborative project with EMP, is currently in the center of self -pure Shinjuku, self -pure Tanizu (Narashino, Chiba), self -New Koto SS (TokyoA total of 4SS has started driving in Miyakohoto Ward) and self -station Samukawa Kurami (Samukawa -cho, Koza -gun, Kanagawa Prefecture).It is a plan to expand in the future.As of the end of this year, we are planning to complete the installation for a total of 30SS or more.

● What is the vision of installation groups and output?

EMP selects the models and specifications of the charger to be installed.Currently, the one installed in our affiliated SS has a two -unit type 120 kW (Yazu) and a one -piece type 50 kW (Shinjuku central, etc.), which is promoted in the direction of installing a two -door type as much as possible.However, the two -mouth type is required to secure two parking spaces for two units simultaneous charging, and if it is difficult, it is used as a single unit (50 kW).

● What is the expansion of the supply of renewable energy 100 % power?

At the moment, we supply real CO2 free power derived from the wind power generation of Cosmo Eco Power at one self -pure Shinjuku central center.

The SS is not limited to quick chargers, but also the power of the entire SS is substantially renewed (derived from cosmo epic power wind power generation).In addition, our Group Press Release on May 11 "Cosmo Energy Group Directly managed SS 100%Real Renewable Energy Electrification") As you can see, the Group will also work on the real -energy power of all directly managed SSs.

● Will the conventional "COSMO EV Charge" continue?

The operation of existing chargers and COSMO EV Charge will continue in the future, but we will not establish a new charger for the service and expand it.

In addition, there is no plan to switch the charger that is being served by COSMO EV Charge to an EMP charging service.However, in the future, we will continue to consider the installation and installation of chargers through a collaborative project with EMP at the time of aging equipment.

● Is there a deadline for implementation of EV car sharing?

There is no deadline.I plan to continue.

● Will the EV car sharing expand in the future?

As a premise, we believe that EV car sharing is difficult to operate without a quick charger (because normal charging takes too much time to charge).The Group is promoting the installation of a quick charger in our affiliated SS in a partnership with EMP, but this initiative has installed a quick charger, like some SS, like Shinjuku Chuo, as well as Shinjuku Chuo.I hope we can develop a share.The specific goal is to watch the situation in the center of self -pure Shinjuku, the spread of EVs and car share, etc.

● What kind of power company is Cosmo Eco Power?

Cosmo Eco Power is a company founded in 1997 as Japan's first wind -powered business operator.Since then, we have been working to strengthen our competitiveness from site development to power plants design and architecture, operations and maintenance.

● What is the power retail service for ordinary households?

Since April 2019, we have been developing a power retail service for ordinary households, Cosmo Denki.Since October 2020, we have started selling the Cosmo Denki Business by expanding the target to corporations.In order to meet the growing awareness of environmental problems such as global warming, we offer CO2 -free electricity that has an environmental value derived from renewable energy in both individuals and corporations, etc., with non -fossil certificates, etc."Cosmo Denki Green" and "Cosmo Denki Business Green" are also available at the same time.

● What is the mechanism of renewable energy 100 % power supply?

We supply real CO2 -free re -energy -derived electricity that uses a non -fossil certificate ( *) derived from the wind power plant of Cosmo Eco Power, a wind power generation company. Self -pure Shinjuku Chuo (Shinjuku -ku, Tokyo) supplies Cosmo Denki Business Green, and as shown on May 11, in the future, all directly managed SS other than self -pure Shinjuku Chuo, Cosmo Denki Business. We plan to supply green. ( *) A non -fossil certificate is a proof of its non -fossil value to separate the non -fossil value of electricity derived from renewable energy and nuclear power, and enable trading. It is traded in the non -fossil value trading market operated by the Japan Wholesale Electric Exchange. A non -fossil certificate with tracking refers to a non -fossil certificate with attribute information such as a power supply type or a power plant location.

● You can apply for other companies, right?

Yes. It is possible.Not only the SS of the Company, but also a contract for "Cosmo Denki Business Green" can be used by general corporate customers.

"Cosmo Denki Business Green" is also adapted to the RE100.It is an electric power plan that can meet the needs of corporate customers who are increasingly aware of environmental awareness, such as companies that are participating in RE100 and RE ACTION or considering participation.

This is the question and answer.

Cosmo EG, the third largest in the industry, is sold in the industry.Eneos and Idemitsu Kosan are also working on mobility electrification, but as a Cosmo EG, I feel a strong desire to open up a "new path" in cooperation with group companies and EMP.。

I actually experienced quick charging and car sharing

I tried EV car sharing and quick charging in Self -pure Shinjuku Chuo.

The EV car sharing is implemented as one of the products called "Easy Car Share" based on SS, which has been developed by Cosmo Oil Marketing.Of course, you need to register in advance, but the enrollment fee and monthly membership fee are free.Electric vehicles (EV classes) can be used at 800 yen per hour and 6 hours packs at 4500 yen.There is a distance fee of 16 yen/km for 12 hours or more, but check the official website for details.

Registration is easy.I sent a license image from the official website and applied, and in about 2 hours I received an email saying "Completion of membership registration".

I make a reservation immediately.I felt that I would like to look forward to the improvement of this reservation screen, including logging in, starting the reservation, the end date and time, selecting self -pure Shinjuku Chuo SS.

On the day of use, I parked my reef in the underground parking lot of the next building, and I used it for one hour.Unlock the door lock just holds the license over the rear window leader.The charging amount of the 40kWh reef was 96 %.

I made a reservation only for one hour, so I ran around Nakano Sakaegami and took a light photo borrowed at Shinjuku Chuo Park and returned it lightly.It is easy and smooth.

I used to be a member of a major car share service, but I bought a leaf and unsubscribed.After that, Honda's "EVERYGO", Nissan's "E -Share Mobi", "ANYCA", an individual car share service, "EEMO" in Odawara, and "Hellow Scooter", which is share of FOMM One in Saitama City.As a member, all of them are free (or free of charge), as well as "Easy Car Share".

Personally, I don't want to ride a rental car anymore except for EVs, so if these easy car share services are expanded, mainly EVs, it seems that I will be able to live a life that can hardly be troubled by living in the city without a private car.。Each service is limited to the bases of each company and region, and it is not enough to cover it all over the country like a major rental car chain, but the mechanism that can easily enroll, make reservations, and abandon on apps and webs have expanded.It is likely to be a rental car when traveling.

The progress of MaaS is attracting attention along with the EV shift, but it has been an hour to realize that society is changing steadily.

The quick charger is a Chodemo 50kW class

After returning with a share car, I moved my leaf from my next building parking lot and tried a quick charger.I inadvertently checked the manufacturer's name and specifications, but it is a 50kW output device that I have never used before.The EMP announced that it will promote high -power quick charging infrastructure with two up to two cables from ABB 120kW class output device, so this 50kW device is made by Toko Takadake.Since it was a liquid crystal display that I had never seen before, I think that EMP is a new model that will develop in the future.

The LCD display is easy to understand, but the location of the card authentication is under the description on the front of the main unit.At first, I was confused for a few seconds, saying, "What? I'm not authenticated."

By the way, the leaf borrowed from the car share did not charge because the battery remained more than 90 % this time, but if you read your own reef and read the manual of the share car in -vehicle, after use, after use, in front of you.Charged with a quick charger.The manual file also has a Nissan "ZESP3" card.

Anyway, the charging infrastructure of SS, which has toilets and rest spaces, is still convenient.We hope that both the charger and the EV car sharing will further progress the challenge of cosmo oil.
