Gentari plans to work with Mercedes-Benz Malaysia to develop EV charger network, subscription plans

Gentari, through its subsidiary Gentari Green Mobility, intends to partner with Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) by exploring the potential development of EV charging infrastructure, along with value-added services such as tailored charging subscription plans.

If it works out, the charging point operations would be jointly developed with EV Connection (EVC), and chargers would be installed at ‘selected strategic locations across Malaysia, to ease long distance travel’. The initiative is also aimed at providing range confidence for EV drivers.

“Gentari is excited to expand our relationship with a like-minded partner like MBM. Gentari understands that providing long-distance range confidence is important to EV drivers. Therefore, as the operator of the largest DC network in the country, Gentari is committed to continue building high-powered chargers and establishing connectivity across states in Malaysia. This will directly contribute to propelling EV adoption numbers in the country, fostering a sustainable shift towards electric mobility,” said Gentari deputy CEO Shah Yang Razalli.
