Environment
Climate change and energy management are vital for PHIHONG's sustainable development. We analyze, control, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions annually by 4.2%, striving for net zero emissions by 2050 to actively combat climate change.
Green Achievements
Shell, the world’s second largest fossil fuel company, announced in December 2021 that it has signed a contract with Phihong will become Shell’s global charging equipment sourcing supplier and will begin delivering charging pads around the world. Shell is now actively converting its gas stations into charging stations. The first Shell Recharge station opened in Hong Kong with two 120kW DC quick charging points, capable of charging most electric vehicles in Hong Kong from 10% to 80% in 40 to 55 minutes. Newer EVs can be charged in as little as 25 minutes. With Phihong’s 360kW Extreme Charging Point, charging can be completed in just 20 minutes.
In April 2021, Phihong built a 360KW quick EV charging point at its headquarters in Lin Kou, Taoyuan. We invited the Mayor of Taoyuan, Mr. Cheng Wen Chan, to join the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Through the cooperation with Taoyuan City Government, we expect to build more quick charging stations to create a more friendly environment for electric vehicles, so that electric vehicle owners no longer have to worry about driving distance and can save more charging time. The 360kW EV charging point has the highest power charging technology in Taiwan. The hardware and software of the central control center of the charging equipment are developed and designed solely by Phihong. The cloud platform can be connected to European and American backend systems. The EV charging point can provide 4 sets of DC fast charging at the same time. This means that one system can provide 4 parking spaces, making it easier for carpark and car-rental operators to increase the number of fast charging park spaces in their planning.
We have partnered with a well-known local smart bus charging operator to build an intelligent DC high power commercial electric bus charging station. The charging station can intelligently deploy power from the storage system and the local grid to provide the best efficiency charging power based on the power usage status of the site. Thus, we can provide charging equipment that best meets the operational needs.
Phihong has partnered with Zenobe Energy, a London-based battery storage developer and operator. Zenobe Energy has announced plans to deploy a 100MW installed capacity battery storage system in the UK. This is the first energy storage system of its kind to receive a long-term partnership with a UK transmission system operator to absorb and manage grid reactive power. The project will be deployed near Chester in the northwest of England. It has officially started operations in April 2022. Through the partnership with Zenobe Energy, Phihong has worked with several well-known smart bus charging operators, such as Leeds City bus station in Leeds, UK, and Cardiff Bus in Willcliffe, UK. A total of 18 DS180kW DC quick chargers have been installed.

In 2022, Phihong, Phoenix Battery and National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) have jointly launched a high-voltage energy storage charging system.
Phihong is mainly responsible for charging, energy storage and background EMS management system. Phoenix Battery is responsible for battery and battery management. NPUST will incorporate green energy and clean energy storage application and site application in the future. This product is called “High-Voltage Green Energy Storage Charging System”. It combines Phihong’s existing energy storage charging technology with Phoenix’s battery solution to form a high-voltage energy storage charging system. In the future, it will merge with NPUST’s green energy system , to complete a powerful integrated product with 3 major functions of green energy, energy storage and charging.
The “High Voltage Green Power Storage and Charging System” can directly use Taipower’s 22.8KV / 11.4KV high voltage power as input, and internally convert it into low voltage DC power to be stored in Phoenix’s 75KWh battery, and in the future, it will also be connected to NPUST’s solar power or biogas power and other clean energy stored in the battery. The source of electricity needed for electric vehicles is still the power system, so it is necessary to return to the active development of renewable energy generation in order to significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
The “High Voltage Green Power Storage and Charging System” is expected to help Taiwan solve the problem of power shortage in the future by reducing power consumption during peak hours, and to store power at night and discharge it during the day, thus significantly increasing green energy and reducing carbon emissions.
This is a big step forward in Phihong’s ESG green sustainable development plan.
The use of renewable energy and the pursuit of environmental sustainability is an unstoppable global trend. Governments will actively invest in green energy. In 2021, Phihong was successfully selected by TCC’s green supply chain and joint TCC Storage to launch a new generation charging station. We became the first “EV charging point power supplier” in Taiwan to join NHΩA.TCC’s “EARTH HELPER” sustainable tandem program. By joining this program and through the concept of working with companies and the environment, we will provide a more convenient pure electricity life for Eastern Taiwan and create a sustainable environment.
In the TCC’s (NHΩA.TCC)“EARTH HELPER”sustainable tandem program, the concept is to call on all electric vehicle owners in Taiwan to convert their daily charging into carbon reduction actions. The carbon reduction of every charge is equivalent to the amount of carbon absorbed by planting trees for the earth every year. This achieves the purpose of charity and revitalizing the local environment. Through the joint promotion of both TCC and Phihong, the carbon-emission reduction charging of EV owners, and encourage owners to participate in the EARTH HELPER low-carbon and energy-saving action, a powerful carbon reduction community is formed.
In the future, we will continue to work with our strategic partner NHΩA.TCC’s “10-Year Plan” to strengthen the technological capabilities of Taiwan’s energy storage chain. At the same time, we will eye on the international market to pursue the next wave of charging facility business opportunities in the global market. We will achieve the goal of selling 15,000 EV charging points in Europe and the United States by 2025 and increasing it to 90,000 by 2030.
Hualian DAKA charging station is operated by NHΩA.TCC. There are two DC EV charging point provided by Phihong.
