In Yokohama City, in order to spread and promote next-generation vehicles, we are exhibiting next-generation vehicles and demonstrating external power supply at events such as the inhabitant of a ward festival.
Since electricity can be taken out from next-generation electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, it can not only be good for the environment, but also be used for emergency power supplies and demand response in the event of a disaster.

Based on the Yokohama City Global Warming Countermeasures Action Plan, Yokohama City is promoting the spread of next-generation vehicles.
In order to further promote the spread, on November 1, 2022, among electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles with external power supply functions, we collaborated with businesses that handle passenger cars that can be purchased by the general public.
