MobiSavi Selected for Continued Participation in 'Triangle Ehime 2.0'

MobiSavi Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President and CEO: Takayo Hidari, hereinafter 'MobiSavi') announces its selection as a continuing participant in the 2026 fiscal year for 'Triangle Ehime 2.0', a digital implementation acceleration project promoted by Ehime Prefecture.

In the 2026 fiscal year, MobiSavi will expand the used EV distribution model 'ReNew EV (Rinew EV)', developed through demonstration projects with Ehime Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (hereinafter 'Ehime Nissan'), to other brands and sales operators within the prefecture. Building on the results achieved with Ehime Nissan, MobiSavi will verify the effectiveness and business viability of this model as a brand-agnostic used EV distribution system, accelerating the formation of a circular EV market.

This project will be implemented as an approved initiative under the 'Triangle Ehime 2.0' program for the fiscal year 2026 (Reiwa 8). For further details, please visit the official website: https://dx-ehime.jp

■ Background

While the EV market continues to expand, concerns such as 'unclear battery condition' and 'uncertain future value' remain barriers to purchasing used EVs.

MobiSavi has developed a 'performance certification' system that visualizes the condition of used EVs, leveraging its proprietary EV performance prediction technology. Furthermore, the company is building a system that enables customers to purchase used EVs with confidence by combining this certification with 'battery performance warranties' and 'residual value guarantees'.

In the 2025 fiscal year, MobiSavi collaborated with Ehime Nissan to establish the 'ReNew EV' used EV distribution model, integrating performance certification, warranty programs, and resale value visualization.

◾️ Achievements in Fiscal Year 2025

In the 2025 fiscal year, MobiSavi established a new used EV distribution model in partnership with Ehime Nissan as the primary collaborator. This model combines 'performance certification', 'battery capacity warranty', and 'residual value guarantee' to address customer concerns about used EVs. Launched as 'ReNew EV' in December 2025, the model has been commercially available since then.

As a result, used EV sales at Ehime Nissan increased by 261%—approximately 2.6 times—compared to the second half of the 2024 fiscal year.

This achievement stems from the synergistic effect of implementing a performance certification and warranty system that visualizes used EV quality, combined with Ehime Nissan's proactive investment and strengthened procurement in its used EV business. The results confirm the effectiveness of the ReNew EV model as a system that reduces customer concerns and enhances sales teams' ability to recommend used EVs.

■ Initiatives in Fiscal Year 2026

In the 2026 fiscal year, MobiSavi will expand the ReNew EV model, established with Ehime Nissan, to other brands and sales operators within Ehime Prefecture. By introducing the model to multiple brands and operators, MobiSavi aims to accumulate operational expertise in 'performance certification', 'battery performance warranty', and 'residual value guarantee', ultimately building a used EV distribution model that can be utilized regardless of manufacturer or sales channel.

Furthermore, through collaboration with Ehime Nissan, MobiSavi will analyze sales performance, user feedback, and market pricing to verify the impact of 'performance certification' and various warranty programs on enhancing used EV value and enabling fair price formation. This will help establish a system to appropriately evaluate used EV performance and quality and reflect it in market value.

Additionally, MobiSavi will verify the effectiveness and profitability of these initiatives to establish a sustainable business model for a circular EV market.

■ Future Outlook

MobiSavi aims to create a market where EVs are not products sold once and discarded, but assets that circulate while maintaining and enhancing their value.

In the 2026 fiscal year, MobiSavi will advance the multi-brand expansion of the 'ReNew EV' model developed with Ehime Nissan, while verifying the effects of performance certification and warranty systems on value enhancement and price formation. Based on these results, the company plans to expand to regions beyond Ehime, including the entire Shikoku and Chugoku areas, from fiscal year 2027 onward, aiming to further expand regional EV circular markets.

Moving forward, MobiSavi will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable mobility society by optimizing value visibility and distribution through the utilization of EV data.

(*1) ReNew EV (Rinew EV): A high-quality used EV that reduces quality-related concerns by incorporating 'performance certification', 'residual value guarantee', 'battery performance warranty', and 'reconditioning'. Conventional used EVs are often sold in the condition left by the previous owner, leading to significant variability in vehicle condition. In contrast, ReNew EV offers a system that maintains near-new quality at a lower price, making it an attractive new option for Japanese consumers who prioritize reliability.
