Fuji Sash and Sekisui House announced on November 1st that they have jointly developed a pole for installing chargers for electric vehicles (EVs). The pole is designed for Sekisui House’s Sharmaison rental housing and detached houses. The spread of EVs has benefits such as contributing to decarbonization through the electrification of vehicles and reducing utility bills by using them as storage batteries. The pole for installing EV chargers that was developed this time is said to be in line with the policies set out in Fuji Sash’s “Sustainability Vision 2050.” The unique feature of the pole for installing the Charme Maison EV charger is that it comes in two types: one pole with one outlet and one with two outlets. This will make it possible to efficiently place poles for installing EV chargers. The two companies aim to respond to the increasing demand for EVs in the future, as well as contribute to resolving the shortage of EV charging infrastructure. Shipments are scheduled to begin in December 2024, with the annual sales target set at 8,000 sets. This joint development is an effort to accelerate the development of EV charging infrastructure in the residential sector in line with the trend toward electrification in the automotive industry. Cooperation between home builders and building material manufacturers could make EV charging possible in more homes, which could lead to improved convenience and promoted widespread use of EVs.

>>3 In Tokyo, existing multi-storey parking lots are impossible. Shared parking lots for apartment complexes would be tough with all the cost sharing and all that, so it’d be about a privately owned detached house, right? The hurdles are low. In Japan, fully electric vehicles would be quite reckless given the infrastructure.
It’s a crazy piece of equipment to begin with. A true fast charger would require at least 30kw. Even the ones that can be installed in an average home require 3kw and 6kw. These are 30,000w, 3,000w and 6,000w, right? And you have to keep it charged at the cable all the time. Those who understand will understand how ridiculous the equipment becomes.
Unless they create lots of places in public facilities where you can charge it for free, it won’t catch on. It’s the same as Windows and the original zero-yen mobile phones.
The electricity generated at power plants cannot be stored. In other words, as more homes have EV chargers, we will have to constantly send out several thousand watts of surplus electricity in addition to the electricity used by home appliances. This will definitely strain current power generation.
>>37 To prevent damage to the electrical infrastructure, electric car drivers should be required to install solar panels, home batteries, and slow nighttime chargers. Also, we need to operate more nuclear power plants.
I think we’ve started suffering because we’ve started doing unnecessary things like this on a global scale, building pointless infrastructure, and giving up agriculture and livestock farming.
People who drive electric cars because they think they’re eco-friendly are stupid to drive one when it’s not eco-friendly, because it’s heavier than a gasoline car, so it requires more energy, the battery life is shorter than a gasoline car, and recycling isn’t advanced.
>>43 Being much heavier than fuel-powered vehicles means that the tires wear down faster and the debris flies into the air, which wears down the asphalt and damages the roads faster, and produces a lot of dust, damaging the environment. Japan’s beautiful air will likely become smoggy and awful, just like in the days of studded tires. I can’t imagine any good in just increasing unnecessary expenses.
EVs were something we were forced to do in order to keep nuclear power plants running. The same goes for the decarbonization movement. After the Fukushima nuclear accident, nuclear power proponents around the world were met with a sudden cold shoulder, and so they brought out decarbonization as a way to turn things around.
