Today is my first time to use EV charging spot here.
Two cars, Prius and Leaf, were already in charge. But here is very convenient

On March 16th at 18:30, I used the charger here.
Every week, I use it and this was the 13th time.
Users of EV charger seem to be increasing gradually. When I go there, Leaf and Prius
were in charge. Reluctantly, I used it after a short time of shopping. This station is soconvenient that the users of EV charging spot might increase more from now on.

On the day of the shooting (last March), unfortunately normal vehicle was parked.
I think the recognition of EV is still too low.
Post time:

Name: Senli04

I used here for the first time.
Normal vehicles were parked by moving pylons that said EV-only.
As a fellow Kansai resident, I felt sad for the lack of manners.
I was able to charge successfully the other charging spot at the other parking lot, but
had to spend some extra time.

Problems happening at EV charging spots• Need for eliminating congestion at some charging spots
Charging congestions occur on every holiday at the charging spots ofsome shopping malls / public facilities.
Increase of the number of chargers and/or flexible operation of charging
equipment are required.
(e.g. Several rules; EV should be moved as soon as possible after full-charging, It
is possible to disconnect the cable after full-charging by others, etc.)• Countermeasures to prevent Parking of non-EV vehicles
Many EV charging spots, where are suitable for a long time parking,are installed at places with high convenience.
EV charging spots installation at a place with comparatively low convenience
and/or real-time information system to know the availability of EV charging spots
are required.

Here is near from Matsuyama motorway exit. Convenience store and café are
unified and it is really nice. In addition, it is opened for 24 hours and charging fee
is free. Let‘s give back by shopping at the stop.

This Circle K has a café.
Its parking is connected to a gas stand, so it is very convenient when you refuelgas and charging electricity to PHEV at the same time.

The feature of the project in the U.S.

• Selection process of the location and the number of chargers
Companies and organizations, which lead the installation of EV charging
infrastructure, are responsible for site selection and the number ofchargers.

• Contribute to the public against the tax injection
Sharing the charging station information is obliged because the project
has been supported by tax.

• Services of EV charging infrastructure from the viewpoint of EVusers
Real-time information system about EV charging availability.
Encouragement to develop applications for the web or for
smartphones.

GoGoEV is also going to develop several services that contributetowards the diffusion of EV.
