Nitto Kogyo Corporation (Headquarters: Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture; President: Akinobu Teshima; hereinafter referred to as Nitto Kogyo), a leading manufacturer of standard chargers for EVs and PHEVs, has added a 9.6kW high-output model to its flagship "Pit-2G" series of standard chargers. This marks the first time for a domestic manufacturer (Note 1) to achieve this. This product was the first in Japan from a domestic manufacturer to obtain JARI (Japan Automobile Research Institute) certification for 9.6kW output in June 2026. It has also been listed as an eligible model for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "Subsidy for Introduction of Charging/Refueling Facilities, etc. for Promotion of Dissemination of Clean Energy Vehicles" (Note 2). Nitto Kogyo will continue to support the construction of sustainable charging infrastructure by providing safer and more secure chargers for EVs and PHEVs. [Features of MODE3 Standard Charger Pit-2G Series, 9.6kW Output Model] 1. High Economic Efficiency with First JARI Certification in Japan and Subsidy Eligibility We have obtained JARI certification by clearing stringent standards in the 9.6kW output range, which was previously unavailable for domestic manufacturer products. This allows for the utilization of national subsidies for charging equipment installation. While it is a high-output next-generation infrastructure, it significantly reduces the initial installation costs for facility operators. 2. Among the Fastest in Japan for Standard Charging! Recover Approximately 67km of Driving Range with 1 Hour of Charging Charging is possible at a speed approximately three times faster than conventional general EV outlets (3kW). With approximately 67km (Note 3) of driving range recoverable in one hour of charging, sufficient power can be smartly replenished during stays at commercial facilities, offices, hotels, and more. This enables facilities that were struggling with the necessity of installing expensive rapid char
