Visions for Installation of Charging Infrastructures for Next Generation Vehicles【Outline】（Osaka ）(Objective)

Through METI’s project to promote development of charging infrastructures for nextgeneration vehicles, install chargers equipped with diverse functions and applying theunique characteristics of how the project is operated throughout Osaka, to realize an
Osaka that will not run out of electricity.
○ Provide information using communication functions, etc.
○ Payment functions○ Simultaneous charging of several EVs○ Use of charging facilities during late night hours, 365 days, etc.

2Visions for Installation of Charging Infrastructures for Next Generation Vehicles【Outline】（Osaka ）(Application of the Project)
Raise the subsidy rate of purchase fees and constructions fees if installing publiccharging facilities (rapid and normal chargers) based on these visions. (1/2 → 2/3)
① Allow use by general public, and even if a membership system is adopted, do not set excessive
charges, etc. for non-members.

（Period of Visions）○From March 2013 to end of project (application for subsidies to Center must be submittedby February 2014)3
