Energy solutions provider Gentari has signed a tripartite agreement with EV Connection and Yinson GreenTech to enable cross-tracking and cross-access charging of electric vehicles on the Gentari, JomCharge and chargEV mobile applications, the company announced today. This inter-brand access will be made available by June, according to Gentari.
UPDATE: (June 26) The Gentari, EV Connection and chargEV collaboration on cross-network EV charging has been officially launched. Users can now access more than 600 chargers across all three platforms via the Gentari, JomCharge and chargEV mobile applications.
This three-way agreement essentially offers EV users access to a combined total of 550 electric vehicle charging points across Malaysia, or more than two-thirds of all EV charging points in the country with Gentari operating more than 150 charging points, ChargEV with almost 300 charging points and JomCharge with 100 charging points, Gentari said in its statement.
It’s basically like a roaming agreement, allowing users of any one of the Setel, JomCharge and ChargEV app to use chargers across the three networks.
“To accelerate EV adoption in Malaysia, it is essential to prioritise customer experience. Therefore, by June, users will have the added benefit of cross-access charging, giving them access to approximately 70% of all charging points in Malaysia,” according to Gentari chief green mobility officer Shah Yang Razalli.
“Via this tri-network partnership, we give greater range confidence to users when driving in Malaysia, as they can locate the entire charging network of the three service providers via Setel, JomCharge or ChargEV,” said EV Connection maanging director Lee Yuen How in the statement.
“Yinson GreenTech is always committed to working with like-minded partners who share our vision of providing a better user experience and accelerating the adoption of EVs. This collaboration is a first step in the infrastructure collaboration with key industry players, that will lead to more opportunities and possibilities in the future,” said Yinson GreenTech senior VP for business development Srinivas Tati.
The 150 charging points under Gentari are distributed across 35 locations in Malaysia, according to the company, along with more than 160 charging points in India where it is also present. Gentari aims to take 10% market share, or around 25,000 charging points “across key markets” in Asia Pacific by 2030.
Along the way, Gentari aims to install 9,000 public charging points by 2026 with its presence mainly in Malaysia and India, it said.

3 operator 1 standardized rate?
No lah, within one operator pun got different2 rate. What they do is just enabling all chargers in each of their own network to be accessed by all three platform users.
Good news for new adopters with range anxiety.
Next – a reasonable rate (unlike TNB).
Utmost – regular servicing to make sure it works.
Unlike TNB? Do this three companies have their own power stations?
Will wait for few more years for the charging infra available throughout the country before i’m willing to purchase an EV….range anxiety woooo & susah nak cari charging place out of Klang Valley & the waiting time charging and to charge….beratur restoren nasik kandaq pun aku dah stress…ni kan nak beratur nak tunggu turn charge
