On February 13, 2026, naturenix Inc. (Sumida-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director Yasuki Kanazawa; the "Company") exhibited at "TOSHIBA GX SEMINAR 2026 in Bangkok," hosted by the Toshiba Group in Bangkok, Thailand.
The seminar was held against the backdrop of Thailand's national BCG (Bio-Circular-Green) economic model, presenting the latest carbon-neutral solutions to Japanese and local enterprises operating in the country.
What naturenix exhibited at the venue was a live demonstration of its ongoing "3-minute charging EV motorcycle" PoC in Thailand. The exhibited vehicle is powered by Toshiba's high-safety, long-life lithium-ion battery "SCiB™." The combination of an industry-leading 3-minute charge time and a service life exceeding 20,000 cycles is achieved precisely because of SCiB™'s outstanding fast-charge tolerance and low degradation. Without SCiB™, our 3minGo!™ would not exist in its current form.
At the venue, executives from numerous local companies — including representatives from the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) — provided candid feedback toward commercialization and shared their expectations for real-world deployment.
Beyond Decarbonization
We see EV adoption and decarbonization not as the goal, but as the natural starting line.
In Thailand and across Southeast Asia, gasoline costs for motorcycles — essential for daily commutes and deliveries — weigh heavily on household budgets. Combined with high household debt ratios, the reality is that many people still cannot afford to buy a motorcycle even when they want one. Many also remain trapped in a structure where rising income is consumed by rising fuel costs, making it difficult to escape. By offering our EV motorcycle and 3-minute charging infrastructure under a monthly subscription model, we aim to free riders from both gasoline costs and vehicle loans, and return disposable income to each individual rider. We believe it is only by going that far that the term "real-world deployment" earns its name.
Comment from COO Yuta Akakuma:
"It is precisely because of Toshiba's SCiB™ — a battery unmatched anywhere in the world — that our 3-minute charging is possible. Being given the opportunity to present our SCiB™-powered EV motorcycle and charging infrastructure at a venue hosted by the Toshiba Group was a deeply meaningful occasion for us.
That said, what we are aiming for is not decarbonization alone. We want to return to riders the household income that has been lost to gasoline costs every month. It is only when we go that far that we can truly say this technology has taken root in society."
Together with the Toshiba Group, naturenix will continue to drive the two-wheeler EV shift and the real-world deployment of "3-minute charging" infrastructure across Thailand and other ASEAN markets.
