The EV-E301 series (EV-E301系?) is a two-car battery electric multiple unit (BEMU) train type operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on the Karasuyama Line and Tohoku Main Line since 15 March 2014. The train is branded "Accum".
Developed from the experimental "Smart Denchi-kun" battery railcar tested on the Karasuyama Line in 2012, the two-car EV-E301 series train operates as an electric multiple unit (EMU) under the 1,500 V DC overhead wire of the Tohoku Main Line between Utsunomiya and Hōshakuji, and on battery power over the 25.4 km (15.8 mi) non-electrified Karasuyama Line. It can also be recharged via its pantographs at a recharging facility specially built at Karasuyama Station.
The two-car trainsets are equipped with 190 kWh lithium-ion storage batteries, and the train has a maximum design speed of 100 km/h (60 mph), although it normally runs at up to 65 km/h (40 mph) in service.

The Mc car has two PS38 single-arm pantographs.
Internally, the train uses LED lighting throughout. Seating accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating. The train is not equipped with a toilet.
