Hi !, EV ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to our web page "It's EV.com"


Kazuo Chiba
Senior engineer
Tokyo electric power co. R&D center
Mobility technology Group
(Former project director of NISSAN Altra EV )

I had produced electric vehicles and their electric components for a car manufacturer.
To use EV in the city, we need to charge EV. So I changed my job to charge EV.
For the Japanese market, we had sold"R'nessa EV" and "Hypermini". For the USA market, we had sold "ALTRA EV".
During the process of developing these vehicles, I've noticed that EV technology will create big changes not only in transportation but also in electric energy usage.
In this area of technology, we feel the situation is changing. Recently, motors and batteries have made big progress, and now we can design some realistic electric power units for vehicles or other uses for the climate change mitigation.
We will provide information about our units and systems through this web site in order to assist the progress of the technology and the development of its market.
We welcome information from different points of view. We are new to this kind of open communication forum, but we will treat honestly the information or instruction you provide.
We also hope to provide you some useful information through "It's EV.com".
Thank you very much.

Former position
  Autech Japan, Inc. Senior Expert for small EV
  Nissan Motor, Inc. Deputy Chief Product Specialist for Hypermini
  Nissan R&D, Inc.(US) Manager for EV planning

I have been in charge of strategy, product planning and project management for Electric Vehicle for seventeen years.
I managed Hypermini Project and also I am an owner of the car. As soon as it was launched, I myself purchased Hypermini. I use it everyday: for commuting and shopping and so on.
Currently Electric Vehicle is being emphasized in the aspect of environment and energy. Besides, it has enchantments such as silky acceleration, low noise and low fuel cost.
I would like to explain the merit of Electric Vehicle, and would like to consider with you what we can do for the coming paradigm shift.
