Taipei, Nov. 2, 2012 (CENS)--Taiwan’s Farglory Land Development recently announced to tie up with local counterparts Delta Electronics, Inc., Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (CHT) and Hotai Motor Co. Ltd. (local agent of Toyotas and Lexus) to build shared intelligent electric vehicle (EV) charging system in 18 of Farglory`s construction projects in northern Taiwan.
Chao Teng-hsiung, Farglory Group chairman, says Delta, a major power-supply unit supplier, will provide the intelligent EV charging stations, which will be integrated with CHT`s intelligent-family control panels for EV-charging. In the future, he stresses, every family in Farglory`s residential projects can easily access EV charging and monitor energy use.
Delta says it will supply 748 EV-charging systems for Farglory`s construction projects, as well as being talks with three other builders in Taiwan about similar cooperation plans.
Delta claims to have been aggressively venturing into EV charging-station business for years, with its EV-charging stations having successfully tapped industrially advanced markets as the U.S., Norway and Japan, as well as having tied up with international automakers in Germany and the U.S. in related fields.
Y.M. Chang, chief of Delta`s charging business division, says in 2013 many international automakers will continue to launch plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and pure-electric cars, creating business opportunities in EV charging starting in 2014.
Chao says his company kicked off an electric-scooter pilot charging project in a construction project in Linko, northern Taiwan, in 2010.
