PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) has once more added Privilege Charging Spot and Privilege Parking Spot facilities. Now, these facilities are available at Gandaria City Mall, South Jakarta.

This facility adds the total number of Toyota Ultra Fast Charging spots to 4 points. Previously, similar facilities have been present in several public areas with strategic locations, namely at ASHTA Mall Jakarta, Rest Area KM 456A, and Rest Area KM 695A.

Apart from the public areas, there are also 111 dealers with charging spot including 3 that use Ultra Fast Charger at Toyota branches in Semarang, Yogyakarta, and Banda Aceh.

With a total of 115 points in dealerships and public areas, the facilities charging spot Toyota is increasingly complete and connected in various strategic locations. This is intended so that people who use Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) Toyota can drive without worrying regarding running out of battery power on the road.

“Charging spot was built so that Toyota and Lexus BEV and PHEV customers don’t have to worry regarding range anxiety or worry regarding running out of battery before reaching the destination. Charging spot facilities at authorized Toyota dealers are trying to cover customers in urban areas, plus similar facilities at the Trans Java Toll Road Rest Area for intercity mobility, along with Privilege Charging Spots and Privilege Parking Spots at large malls in Jakarta to serve the lifestyle area,” said Marketing Director of PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) Anton Jimmi Suwandy, last week.

According to him, TAM will continue to provide facilities charging spot in various strategic locations to reach more electrified vehicle customers.

To support intercity mobility and further increase BEV and PHEV range, Toyota operates UFC at Rest Area KM 456A Salatiga-Surabaya in collaboration with PLN and Rest Area KM 695A Jombang-Surabaya Trans Java Toll Road. The facilities provided are 1 Ultra Fast Charging unit equipped with 3 types of gun chargers, CCS2, CHAdeMO and AC Type 2 (22 kW) which can be utilized by Toyota customers.

“TAM is committed to building the Toyota xEV Ecosystem in the form of charging spots that are spread widely, starting from Toyota outlets in various strategic urban locations, large shopping centers as lifestyle spots, to toll road rest areas to support long-distance mobility. These charging spots provide a solution to increase the cruising range of BEV and PHEV Toyota and Lexus while supporting customer mobility to various regions,” concluded Marketing Director of PT Toyota-Astra Motor Hiroyuki Oide.

The charging of the electric car battery developed by the UK start-up company Nyobolt has been successfully tested. In the first live demo, the car’s battery was charged from 10% to 80% in 4 minutes 37 seconds, which is a great achievement for the company.

This was achieved with a specially developed concept sports car on a test track in Bedford, and is part of an industry-wide effort to charge electric vehicles (EVs) more quickly.

Eliminating the issue of “range anxiety” is key to increasing EV adoption, say experts. But the importance of making this battery charging infrastructure efficient is also emphasized.

Paul Shearing, professor of sustainable energy engineering at the University of Oxford, told the BBC: “Developing technology that enables people to charge more quickly is very important. He said that there is an imperative need to have more chargers for all types.
