NT Teams Up with MEAei and Five Partners to Accelerate EV Fast-Charging Stations

NT partners with MEAei and five allies to launch the NEXA EV Station Hub, speeding up EV fast-charging stations and showcasing DECO's invitation to revolutionize the sector with the world’s first fast-charging technology for electric motorcycles.

Ms. Suwanna Hansajaruphan, Senior Executive Vice President of National Telecom Public Company Limited (NT), said the company has teamed up with MEA Smart Energy Solutions Co., Ltd. (MEAei), Red Tech Corporation Co., Ltd., Deco Green Energy Co., Ltd. (DECO), Me2Win Holding Public Company Limited, Zhengzhou Zhengfang Technology Co., Ltd., and Future New Energy Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. to drive the development of EV charging systems and electric motorcycle production.

This collaboration leverages NT’s strengths in strategic locations nationwide and robust digital networks, combined with MEAei’s expertise in energy systems and charging infrastructure, to jointly develop the concrete NEXA Platform.

NT aims to establish 156 NEXA EV Station Hubs across the country, supporting more than 48,000 charging points. These will not merely be charging stations but comprehensive digital service centers featuring shops, rest areas, and amenities tailored to community and traveler lifestyles.

Mr. Piya Ratchatworakun, Assistant Senior Executive Vice President of Sales and Customer Operations Group at NT and initiator of the national EV ecosystem infrastructure development concept, stated the NEXA EV Station HUB project aims to upgrade NT’s potential sites and infrastructure into comprehensive EV service centers.

The project connects digital networks, energy, technology, and commercial services to support both electric cars and motorcycles, addressing the travel needs of the public, businesses, and communities in each area.


"The key concept goes beyond installing charging stations; it establishes an infrastructure foundation linking energy, digital, transportation, and services into an integrated system. It leverages NT’s network and spaces to generate long-term economic and social benefits, while inviting expert partners to develop an accessible, comprehensive, and sustainable EV ecosystem."

The NEXA EV Station HUB project marks a significant step in repurposing national assets and infrastructure to create new value, support the transition to clean energy, and concretely elevate Thailand toward a smart mobility network of the future.

Ms. Pattra Suwandet, Director and Acting Chief Executive Officer of MEA Smart Energy Solutions Co., Ltd. (MEAei), said this collaboration is a major alliance to sustainably drive Thailand’s EV ecosystem. MEAei contributes expertise in energy infrastructure and smart energy management systems to provide a solid foundation for leading technology partners.

An important aspect is the integrated comprehensive EV technology, covering local electric motorcycle manufacturing and assembly, smart battery innovations, charging cabinets, applications, as well as after-sales management and technician support—all delivered via the NEXA Platform under uniform nationwide standards to ensure safety, confidence, and enhanced clean energy travel experiences.

Mr. Kritmeth Tangpichayapothiwat, CEO of Deco Green Energy Co., Ltd. (DECO), speaking for the technology partners, said DECO benefits strongly from support by NT and MEAei, allowing full leverage of technology potential in the ecosystem, especially the high-efficiency Fast Charge innovation for electric motorcycles, which the company has successfully developed and is ready to deploy.


This technology can fully charge a battery in as little as 5 minutes, and about 10 minutes for the largest capacity batteries—an advanced technology unmatched in the current market. This cooperation will remove charging time barriers, making EV use more convenient and faster for both daily and commercial applications, with nationwide deployment on the NEXA EV Station Hub ecosystem.

The collaboration to advance EV charging systems and electric motorcycle production integrates upstream to downstream technology into the NEXA EV Station Hub ecosystem. It builds on foundational digital and clean energy infrastructure to sustainably support EV growth in Thailand, emphasizing genuine technology integration covering:

Electric motorcycle manufacturing and assembly for daily use, parcel delivery, food delivery, and commercial fleets.

Smart battery innovations employing Battery Management Systems (BMS) and high-performance lithium battery modules for maximum safety.

Intelligent charging systems and cabinets developed for electric cars and motorcycles, with real-time control and monitoring.

Digital and application connectivity managed through Cloud systems, Energy Management Systems, Solar Roof installations, and platforms enabling users to locate stations, make payments, and check statuses conveniently.

After-sales service and support in Thailand, including technician training, spare parts sourcing, and domestic warranty centers.

All partner technologies and services connect to the NEXA Platform, which integrates NT’s communication network and strategic locations with MEAei’s energy systems, making NEXA EV Station Hubs not just charging points but digital service centers, shops, rest areas, and smart community travel hubs.
