KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – 18 May 2023
– Malaysian clean energy solutions provider Gentari Sdn Bhd
(Gentari) via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gentari Green Mobility
Sdn Bhd, and Bangkok-based electric vehicle (EV) charging
infrastructure provider Evolt Technology Company Limited (Evolt),
have activated their first jointly-installed EV charging points in
Thailand, with three Evolt-operated AC charging points rolled out
at Exchange Tower – a commercial building located in
Bangkok’s fast-developing Khlong Toei district.
At
a special ceremony held to mark the launch, Gentari was
represented by its Chief Executive Officer, Sushil Purohit, and
Chief Green Mobility Officer, Shah Yang Razalli, while Evolt was
represented by its Chief Operating Officer, Kanchalerm
Earsakul.
The installation of the new charging points
follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between
Gentari and Evolt earlier this year, which will see the two
companies collaborating to explore new areas of co-development and
co-investment in the expansion of EV charging infrastructure, as
well as other potential green mobility and clean energy solutions
across Southeast Asia.
“The collaboration with
Evolt has been a thrilling endeavour, as we leverage their market
leadership to propel Gentari’s maiden venture into regional
infrastructure development in Southeast Asia. Our bigger goal is
to bolster our green mobility network across key markets in Asia
Pacific, and this partnership plays a crucial role in achieving
that objective, while driving the transition towards sustainable
mobility in the region,” said Shah Yang Razalli, Chief
Green Mobility Officer of Gentari.
“We are
excited to celebrate the launch of the Gentari charging station.
This represents a significant milestone in our commitment to
provide convenient, reliable, and sustainable charging options for
electric vehicle owners. This station is the latest example of our
dedication to innovation and sustainability, and we are proud to
offer our customers cutting-edge technology and exceptional
service. We believe that this station will play a vital role in
accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles. We remain
committed to lead the way in the transition to cleaner and greener
future of transportation,” Evolt’s Chief Operating
Officer, Kanchalerm Earsakul said.
In Thailand,
Evolt’s network comprises more than 10,000 installed AC and
DC chargers across the nation’s 77 provinces.
Maintaining pace in growing EV charging network
Since its introduction in June 2022, Gentari has made rapid
progress in expanding its Green Mobility network. As of 18 May
2023, Gentari through its affiliated entities, has deployed over
150 charging points in Malaysia and over 170 charging points in
India, in addition to the three new charge points in Thailand.
With
a mission to be Asia Pacific’s preferred green mobility
solutions provider, Gentari aims to capture 10% market share
(circa 25,000 charging points based on current estimates) across
key markets in Asia Pacific by 2030. In the mid-term, Gentari aims
to install 9,000 public charging points by 2026, with an anchored
presence in Malaysia and India.
