Association for the
Promotion of Electric Vehicles

APEV REPORT 2013–2014

About Us

Leaving a beautiful earth for future generations
It was this strong desire which drove us to establish an organization to promote electric vehicles on June 29,
2010. The goal of the organization is to preserve the global environment and to realize a sustainable society.
Now is the time for us to take action so that future generations, including our children and grandchildren, cancontinue to live a healthy life within a rich natural environment. We believe that this is our responsibility.
In the past few years, major automobile companies and US venture companies have commenced full-scale
manufacturing and sales of completed EVs; this move is the “third wave of EVs.” Some domestic and overseas
venture companies have started EV conversion businesses that turn vehicles with conventional gasoline engines
into electric vehicles. However, explosive growth is not yet seen in the EV market due to their high prices, whichshow no hint of decreasing, and their limited travel distances between charges.
For small-sized EVs, last year the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism issued guidelines onsuper micro mobilities, and automobile companies and university laboratories are vigorously engaged in R&D
and demonstration experiments related to the commercial viability of this type of EV.
It is our intention to soon realize a world where many consumers choose electric vehicles as their chosen
method of personal transportation among all other candidates. We would sincerely like to request yourendorsement of our efforts.

Our Activities
Safety Guidelines for EV Conversion< April 2011 > We formulated the first "Safety Guidelines for EV Conversion" in the world,and declared it with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

You can find it here. http://www.apev.jp/en/guide/

We have provided an English version which is
expected to be distributed all over the world.
A Chinese version will also be produced.

< October 2011 >“Textbook of Safety Guidelines for EV Conversion”(First edition) was completed.
It is open only to APEV members on our website.
We are currently revising the textbook based on collected opinions
and feedback from EV conversion engineers.

A meeting of the Working Group
Since the establishment of APEV, the Working Group has had a few monthly meetings and formulated the Safety Guidelines for EV Conversion.

C o n c e p t

The government’s moves related to super micro mobilities(SMMs) have been attracting attention recently, and various SMM
development trials are being conducted in the private sector.
Against this backdrop, APEV has organized a contest to promote
SMMs as well as to offer students, who will lead the next
generation, the opportunity to experience the excitement of
manufacturing. APEV plans to hold the contest, which includes
activities from design to fabrication of a practical vehicle, annuallyfrom this year onward.

Entry and participating schools
Student (at least 18 years old) teams consisting of 2 or more members in Japan or overseas were eligible to apply. 27
teams from 19 schools (24 teams from 16 schools in Japan, and 3 teams from 3 schools in 3 overseas countries)

Our Activities
Teshima Mobility ProjectC o n c e p t
This project aims to increase the value of Teshima’s tourism resources by renting super micro mobilities to tourists
visiting Teshima in Kagawa Pref., as well as to attract potential tourists to the island. The project started on July 20,
2013, when the summer session of Setouchi Triennale 2013 (http://setouchi-artfest.jp/en/) began. The rental cars aremost popular among visitors who enjoy contemporary art. (The operating rate was 91.6% as of the end of July 2013.)

Outline of the field test
Description Tourists visiting Teshima can rent an super micro mobility (SMM)
to move around the island; six SMMs are available, and two
charging stations (“Ubi-den stations”) have been set up on theisland. The vehicles are compatible with the Ubi-den (ubiquitouselectricity) system.
For reservation or payment, visit
SMM rental fee 8,400 yen per day (incl. tax and charging costs)

by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

Hawaii ProjectC o n c e p t
On the Hawaiian island of Maui, with the aim of making Hawaii aregion featuring the most advanced environmental conservation andtourism, the renewable energy business (e.g., wind, biomass, and solar
power) is booming. About 40% of total power generation on the islandis expected to be provided by renewable energy by 2030. To coordinate
with this move, APEV is carrying out activities to promote EVs incooperation with the state government of Hawaii alongside the move todevelop next generation energy sources.

Outline of activities
Chairman Fukutake and Chief Commissioner Tajima of APEV
gave speeches at the Asia-Pacific Clean Energy Summit andExpo held in Hawaii during September 2013. The latest EVs,
including the “E-Runner” Pikes Peak vehicle and Tesla’s
Model-S were exhibited. APEV also offered a class onenvironmental learning at a local elementary school.

Organizations
APEV has established a strong collaborative
relationship with the state government of Hawaii.

Mt. Fuji EV Festa
C o n c e p t
Mt. Fuji was designated as a World Heritage site in 2013.
Many automobile and auto parts companies having advanced
technologies are concentrated in Shizuoka Prefecture, where
Mt. Fuji lies. APEV thus prepared a plan to propose anext-generation automobile concept to provide people with anopportunity for discussion in Shizuoka Prefecture incelebration of the World Heritage designation. This led to aparade along the road up the mountain with EVs and the EV
Festa at the foot of Mt. Fuji on August 1, 2013 hosted by the
Shizuoka prefectural government.

OutlineA scene from the event
Date and time : August 1 (Th.), 2013, 10:00–16:00
Place : Mt. Fuji Skyline (Main venue: Mizugatsuka Parking Area in Susono City, Shizuoka Pref.)Hosts : Shizuoka Prefecture and the Shizuoka Industrial Development Foundation
Supporters : Kanto Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry, METI; Chubu District Transport Bureau, MLIT; APEVParade route
The parade left the Mizugatsuka Parking Area (the second station of Mt. Fuji where the opening ceremony was held) for
the fifth station, a difference in elevation of 900 m and a distance of about 16 km. Participants included 23 electricvehicles, 5 plug-in hybrid vehicles, 2 fuel battery-powered vehicles, and 4 electric motorcycles.

Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Final (Report)

Team APEV wins in the highly competitive EV classTeam APEV with Monster Sport participated in the world’s most prestigious motor sport, the “91st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb” (June
24–30, 2013 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, US) again this year. We aimed to quickly improve our EV technology by taking part in real races
and to further promote EVs globally. The team’s General Director was Mr. Soichiro Fukutake, APEV’s Chairman, and the driver was Mr.
Nobuhiro Tajima, APEV’s Chief Commissioner, who won the race for the sixth successive year.
The EV class contest became fiercely competitive this year, so it was an excellent opportunity for all teams to compete against each otherwith the best EV technologies as well as to learn from one another. Major automobile manufacturers and a national project by Northern
Europe’s Latvia participated in the race. These moves indicate that a great wave is rising as EV penetration increases. Against this backdrop,
starting from third place in the preliminary round, Team APEV raced to a dramatic victory in the EV class (fifth place overall). Mr. Tajima, thedriver, broke his own previous world record that he had made with a gasoline-powered car in 2011, finishing in less than ten minutes for the
first time as an EV, thus illustrating the rapid progress of EV technology.
We thank our many fans for their support and encouragement.
