REXEV Launches EV Car Sharing Service in Matsudo City

REXEV Corporation, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has taken a significant step towards promoting environmental sustainability by launching an innovative electric vehicle (EV) car sharing system for Yuasa Corporation, based in Matsudo City, Chiba. This initiative aims to reduce the environmental impact on the local community and contribute to the establishment of a carbon-neutral city.

The collaboration between REXEV and Yuasa emphasizes comprehensive support for the establishment of EVs and charging stations, particularly focusing on enhancing public vehicle availability in Matsudo City. This effort is aligned with Yuasa's commitment to sustainability, and through this service, REXEV will provide two Nissan Sakura EVs along with two smart charging stations manufactured by Panasonic, each capable of 6kW regular charging.

Goals of the Initiative

Yuasa seeks to actively promote a sustainable community by emphasizing the use of eco-friendly transportation options, including battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). By establishing this car sharing program using zero-emission EVs, they aim to significantly decrease CO2 emissions and support the region in transitioning towards a decarbonized society.

Overview of EV Car Sharing Service

The electric vehicle and smart charging station installation will be facilitated by REXEV as part of a full-service package. Additionally, REXEV will implement an energy management system known as eMMS (e-Mobility Management System). This sophisticated system allows car sharing users to manage vehicle bookings efficiently, ensuring optimal battery charging based on current demand. It additionally enables electricity load control during peak times and promotes the use of renewable energy for vehicle charging.

To enhance user experience, REXEV will furnish a user application that integrates seamlessly with the eMMS. Through this application, individuals can effortlessly reserve vehicles, manage virtual keys, check the state of battery charge (SOC), monitor their energy consumption from renewable sources, track driving distances, and handle payments—all from their smartphones. The SOC refers to the current charge level of the battery, providing users with essential insights into their vehicle's available power.

Comprehensive Support for EV Car Sharing

REXEV's EV car-sharing support service is designed to assist companies and municipalities in establishing their car sharing programs comprehensively. This includes not only providing the mobile app but also assistance with electric vehicle procurement, installation of charging infrastructure, and electrical construction services tailored to the specific needs of clients. Additionally, these organizations can leverage REXEV's established car sharing service, eemo, as a franchise model.

The EV car sharing service promises to enhance mobility options while contributing to regional sustainability initiatives, making Matsudo a pioneer in environmentally-friendly transportation solutions.
