1. Technology overview
Terra Charge is a Tokyo-based EV charging infrastructure company that began as Terra Motors, an electric two- and three-wheeler maker founded in April 2010. It entered EV charging in April 2022 and was renamed Terra Charge in February 2024. The company proposes, installs, operates and maintains chargers and runs the Terra Charge app, with overseas locations in India, Thailand and Indonesia.
Its model lets apartment buildings, municipalities, roadside stations, shopping malls, hotels, golf courses and convenience stores host chargers with free installation, including fast chargers for public sites, while drivers pay through the app. For corporate fleets, Terra Charge Biz provides charging with no initial or monthly fixed fees: every employee gets a corporate ID for the public network, companies can add private chargers at offices or employees' homes, and administrators track who charged where and how much on a dashboard with monthly invoice billing.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Free installation model: chargers installed at no cost for apartments, municipalities and commercial facilities.
- Apartment support: help with owner and management association consensus for new and existing buildings.
- Fast charging: fast chargers available for roadside stations, malls and other public sites.
- Terra Charge app: driver app for charging at home and away from home.
- Terra Charge Biz: corporate IDs for all employees with access to the public network and private chargers.
- Fleet dashboard: usage history by employee, exportable reports and monthly invoice billing.
3. Potential application
Vietnamese apartment developers and building managers can add resident charging without capital outlay under a free installation model. Hotels, golf courses and shopping centres can attract EV drivers with fast and slow charging. Companies with sales or delivery fleets can track employee charging and receive one monthly invoice for decarbonisation reporting.
4. Benefits
Property owners and facilities can offer EV charging without capital spending, since installation is free and operation and maintenance are handled by Terra Charge. Companies can electrify sales and delivery fleets without buying charging equipment, paying only for usage. Dashboards and usage reports give documented evidence for decarbonisation and Scope 3 reporting, and monthly invoicing removes the need for employee credit cards.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Charging at home is the main barrier to EV adoption for apartment residents across Asia, and building owners hesitate to invest in chargers before demand is proven. Charging-as-a-service models with zero upfront cost are spreading, alongside fleet electrification driven by corporate decarbonisation targets. Vietnam's growing EV fleet and high-rise housing create similar needs.
6. Other information
Founded in April 2010 as Terra Motors and renamed Terra Charge in February 2024, headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo. Launched charging in India and Thailand in 2023 and Indonesia in 2024.
