The Thai company Boonvisut is launching a new EV ecosystem, including a Metroverse and charging stations under the VOLTZ brand, aiming to enhance electric vehicle infrastructure.
Boonvisut, a notable player in Thailand's automotive sector, is advancing its initiatives in the electric vehicle (EV) market by launching a new EV ecosystem. This project includes the establishment of a Metroverse and a network of charging stations branded as VOLTZ. The company aims to enhance the infrastructure necessary for the growing demand for electric vehicles in the country.
According to a report by Prachachat, the Metroverse will serve as a hub for various EV-related services, promoting the adoption of electric vehicles among consumers. The VOLTZ charging stations are expected to be strategically located to ensure accessibility for EV users, addressing one of the main concerns regarding the practicality of electric vehicle ownership.

In recent years, the Thai automotive market has seen a significant shift towards electric vehicles. Analysts at Kasikorn Research Center have noted that the demand for EVs is expected to grow, driven by increasing environmental awareness and government policies supporting clean energy.

As the competition in the EV sector intensifies, other companies are also investing in similar infrastructure projects. For instance, major automotive manufacturers and tech firms are exploring partnerships to enhance charging networks and improve EV technology. This trend indicates a robust future for the electric vehicle market in Thailand, where both private and public sectors are collaborating to create a sustainable ecosystem.
