Evaluation

Power feeding systems from a car to a house had been displayed at motor shows since before, and more practical products have been provided along with the increasing popularity of electric vehicles in recent years. Especially, a new fact was revealed that, under the COVID-19 pandemic, staying home is the best evacuation in emergency, and therefore, a secure source of power has become essential to staying home during a disaster. The best point of this product is the design that does not interfere with the operativity or external appearance of a house. This function should be standard in the future, and we expect the company will work on to penetrate this system in the entire industry.
