To make EV the standard of the future,
increasing the number of electric vehicles and charging environments is not enough.
It is essential to realize sustainable affluence in society as a whole,
by updating the services in every field involved in EV.
That's why we believe the EV charging of the future
needs the "hospitality of the future".
We provide people, businesses, and our society the value
of a sophisticated new experience born from the combination of products and IoT.
To draw and shape a future image which lets you feel the satisfaction of having chosen an EV –
That is the role and the goal of PLUGO.
For a SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION that turns everything that surrounds EV into "OMOTENASHI".
PLUGO will create a future that will make you want to stick to.
PLAN TO
THE FUTURE
Creating a sustainable society through innovation that combines both "energy" and "service".
To create a meaningful experiential value not only for people and business, but also for the society.
We aim to realize a Socially Centered Design that provides sustainable value to society as a whole, through innovation that combines 2 perspectives of "energy (=input)" and "service (=output)" beyond the domain of hardware called charging stands.

Realization of Green Charging®
Even if the number of electric vehicles and charging stations increases, if the amount of energy to charge them does not change, a true sustainability will not be born.
PLUGO implements "Green Energy Certification" on all chargers.
By enabling charging with green (renewable) energy, it provides the value of "smart energy" that is appropriate for eco-friendly EV.
