New value to society with products born from the 2010 NECST Project
Contributing to carbon neutrality
V2H systems supplying electricity from an EV or PHV to a house
Rapid chargers for EVs and PHVs, helping to build the infrastructure needed for electric vehicles
Enabling local energy production and consumption
Tribrid Energy Storage System™ linking EVs and PHVs to homes in conjunction with solar power generation
Expanding the use of renewable energy
A household energy storage system storing electricity generated through solar power, can be used at night or during power outages
Energy storage technology bringing electricity in times of disaster (also used in disaster-stricken areas)
An external power feeder loaded to EVs, PHVs or FCVs and moved to site to supply power
Lithium-ion energy storage system for public and industrial use, can also be used as a business continuity measure as an emergency power supply to ensure electricity in the event of a power failure
