7-Eleven Taiwan and TCC launch new generation EV charging
The New Energy, New Lifestyle plan, announced by TCC subsidiary, NHOS, and 7-Eleven, sees the partners building a new generation of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
NHOA, a subsidiary of Taiwan Cement Corporation (TCC), teams up with 7-Eleven on the plan, which will combine green energy, energy storage and EV charging services.
The charging infrastructure, built by NHOA, aims to provide comprehensive charging technologies for all EVs. It has been integrated with TCC DAKA, an open eco-factory in the TCC Hoping Plant in Hualien.

The system can adjust electricity supply based on peaks and valleys of electricity usage. In this way, it hopes to achieve environmental and energy-saving goals.
The infrastructure also houses Taiwan’s 24K Green, EV charging equipment that uses and stores 100% solar power generated from the DAKA Hoping Flower solar installations. The project plans to integrate wind power and transform the infrastructure into a totally green energy EV charging station.
Part of the proceeds from the infrastructure will be put into the local hoping township emergency fund, which makes it the first EV charging infrastructure that donates proceeds back to the local community. TCC stated that “EV charging is no longer just an action or habit, it is also a sharing platform to live a greener lifestyle.”
This news comes in as TCC plans to complete the construction of two large-size energy storage installations in Suao Cement Plant and Hoping Cement Plant in 2022-2023. Once completed, TCC’s Taiwan energy storage capacity is expected to reach 528.7MWh.
