We developed the AC electric vehicle charging station (EVC-J) and have produced the EVC-J in Japan in Sep. 2009. This product is compliant with IEC61851-1. The EVC-J is the first product, which has an attached supply cable and vehicle connector and allows both Model-EV* and Mode2-EV* to be charged (*Model and Mode2 are defined in IEC61851-1.). We modified EVC-J and contributed 4 items of the 2009 low carbon projects**. (** 10 items were adopted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) as the 2009 model program to demonstrate social system for a low carbon society.) The modified EVC-J has additional functions, that is identification and communication, for value added services demonstration (e.g. Billing, Maintenance management). Based on the experience of EVC-J and modified EVC-J, we developed the AC electric vehicle charging station (EVCl) and have produced the EVC1 in Japan in Nov. 2010.
