And a quick charging stand 12 that charges a large capacity in a relatively short time. In this embodiment, one general charging station 11 and one quick charging station 12 are used. However, for example, when used in a parking lot such as a supermarket, since additional charging is often used, only the general charging station 11 is used. If it is often intended to charge a large capacity in a relatively short time, such as a garage such as a route bus, a service area of a highway, a parking area, a road station, etc., only the quick charging stand 12 is used. It may be used.

  Parking spaces 2 in which an electric vehicle E for charging can be parked are provided on both the left and right sides of the charging stand installation place P where the charging stand 1 is installed. As a result, even if there are two electric vehicles E that need to be charged, they can be separated into left and right and parked in the parking space 2. In this case, if there are two charging stations 1 as in this embodiment, it is preferable because each electric vehicle E can be charged. Furthermore, in the charging station 1, if the operation surfaces 11 a and 12 a of the general charging station 11 and the quick charging station 12 face the front side as in the present embodiment, the user can It becomes easy to use the charging stand 1 regardless of whether it is parked on either the left or right. The operation surfaces 11a and 12a may face the rear side.

  In this embodiment, the parking space 2 is provided with a parking frame 21 that surrounds the position where the electric vehicle E is parked, and the parking frame 21 includes an indication including characters and figures indicating that the charging station 1 is present. 22 is provided.
