😯Will elevators keep running even during a blackout?⚡️
As Japan ramps up electric vehicle adoption and municipalities mandate EV charging infrastructure, home buyers are demanding stronger disaster preparedness. Hitachi’s Hybrid-PCS solves this challenge head-on. By connecting EVs directly to building infrastructure, it enables seamless two-way power sharing between vehicles and facilities.
Under normal conditions, Hybrid-PCS serves as a fast EV charger. By combining solar power with electricity stored in stationary and EV batteries, it enables peak shaving and reduces energy costs.
When a power outage hits, it routes electricity from EVs to building systems such as elevators and water pumps. Residents retain access to upper floors and vital water supplies even during emergencies. By unifying environmental performance, economic value, and disaster resilience, it delivers a proven boost to property value.
*Hybrid-PCS (V2X system) is currently available primarily in Japan.
