NEC's Cloud-based EV & PHV Battery Charging Infrastructure Services provide a convenient battery charging service which can be utilized by anyone, anywhere at any time by interconnecting a variety of cloud services from service providers. This new service supports a multi-payment function using e-money to enable EV battery charging and is compatible with a variety of battery chargers. NEC aims to drive its smart energy business related to EV/PHV by leveraging its advanced cloud technologies.

Moreover, once available, NEC's "Portable DNA Analyzer" is expected to successfully complete analysis of materials in approximately 25 to 60 minutes, in a portable, miniaturized suitcase sized package.
