Remove electricity from the electric vehicle ~ Nichicon announces "Power Mover Light"
The external power supply, which has been active in the event of a disaster, etc.
Nichicon on May 31, 2021, "Power Mover Lite" in the "EV Power Station" series of the external power supply. (Power Mover Light / Model number VPS-3C1A) has been announced. It was smaller than Nichicon's "Power Mover" (model number VPS-4C1A) released in 2017, not only lighter, but also price dropped by about 30 %. The main unit price is 450,000 yen excluding tax. The release is August, aiming for 1500 units a year.
Electric vehicles (EV) users are already widely known, but external power supply is EV, plug -in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) and fuel cell vehicles (FCEV). It is taken out of electricity from such a battery so that it can be used with home appliances.
In the event of the Great East Japan Earthquake, attempts to use EVs to supply electricity to recovery work and shelters, etc., and since then, the frequent disasters have gradually expanded to V2H and V2L. It has been shared that what can be done is a great benefit for EVs.
Under such circumstances, Nichikon released "Power Mover" (model number VPS-4C1A) in 2017. "Power Mover", which can use electricity simply by connecting to multiple models, is used in the Western Japan heavy rain in 2018, the Eastern Hokkaido Iburi Earthquake, the Typhoon No. 15 in 2019, and the Kumamoto heavy rain in 2020. It has been done.
This time, the newly developed "Power Mover Light" is aimed at using everyday use by reducing "Power Mover" smaller and lighter.
The most feature of "Power Mover Light" has become lighter and increased in color variations. You would have done it. The simplification of the parts may be great due to the slightly reduced corresponding output. The conventional "Power Mover" has a 100V / 1500W outlet up to 4.5 kW of three, but "Power Mover Light" has two outlets.
The roller like a carrying case is also included this time. In addition, only one color of beige so far, yellow and blue, and two types of color variations are prepared just because we are aiming for the use of leisure.

Nichicon is "Power Mover Light", "Clean Energy Automobile Introduction Resignation Cost Subsidies (CEV subsidy) and an application to subsidize "subsidies for carbon dioxide emission control countermeasures for controlling control".
Of these, the subsidy rate is one -third of the main unit price if the CEV subsidy is subject, so in the case of "Power Mover Light" with a body price of 450,000 yen, 150,000 yen is an auxiliary. It seems to be done. That means that V2L is possible for 300,000 yen.
By the way, this year (2021), there is still no external power supply target model on the website of the next -generation automobile promotion center that introduces CEV subsidies. I think it will be decided by summer.
The sales target of "Power Moverlight" is 1500 units a year. According to Nichicon, "Power Mover" was mainly purchased by local governments for disaster response, but it has the impression that the user base is gradually spreading, saying "Power Mover. Light] seems to want ordinary users to buy. If there are two 1500W outlets, it seems that yakiniku is also available on a hot plate. Of course, there is no doubt that it will be useful in the event of a disaster.
Oh, it's the last, but just in case. Even if "Power Mover Light" is released, "Power Mover" will continue. If you need a large output, use "Power Mover".
I've been writing so far, and now I've come to think that the equipment for external power supply is quite expensive. There seems to be a problem with the number, but until last year, the external power supply of Mitsubishi Motors, which supports 1500W, was the cheapest and the main unit price was 142,667 yen. If it is
, it is a high hurdle for automakers who want to reduce the cost even a little and care about the price of one bolt. Maybe.
This is just a desire, but it would be nice if the number of EVs increased someday, the price of parts for DC/exchange conversion decreased, and the day when the 100V outlet was standard equipment would come. think. At that time, the price of the external power supply of the large output for disaster response will decrease, and the benefits for society seem to be great.
