Bangkok, Thailand, 19 December 2024 -
Gentari Sdn Bhd (Gentari) through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Gentari Green Mobility Sdn Bhd, is strengthening its presence in
Thailand via new collaborations to expand its electric vehicle
(EV) charging network and introduce its Vehicle-as-a-Service
offering in the country.
These collaborations intend to
contribute to Thailand’s 30@30 aspiration, comprising
several electrification and decarbonisation targets. Spearheaded
by the National Electric Vehicle Policy Committee, Thailand aims
for EVs to achieve a 30% market share in vehicle manufacturing and
sales by 2030—spanning private cars, trucks, and
buses—supported by a network of 12,000 EV charging
points.
Gentari Go activated in Thailand
To enhance accessibility and convenience for EV users,
Gentari is introducing Gentari Go in Thailand, an app-based
customer experience platform that allows customers to seamlessly
discover, use, and pay for EV charging facilities while enjoying
rewards. The app also offers advanced features such as real-time
energy consumption insights, helping users efficiently manage
their EV charging sessions.
Building on this
initiative, Gentari’s partnership with Thailand’s
leading EV charging provider, Evolt Technology, ensures EV drivers
gain seamless access to an extensive network of strategically
located charging stations via Gentari Go. Positioned in
high-traffic areas such as petrol stations, shopping centres, and
medical centres, these chargers make charging simple and
convenient for users always on the move. With Gentari Go, drivers
can also journey across Thailand to Malaysia and Singapore,
connecting to over 2,800 charging points through a single app.
Expansion of Gentari Vehicle-as-a-Service in Thailand
Additionally, Gentari Green Mobility and ThaiEV Co Ltd
(ThaiEV) have also combined forces to form a joint venture
company, Gentari Mobility Co Ltd (GMCL). GMCL aims to facilitate
the rollout of Gentari’s Vehicle-as-a-Service offering in
the country supported by EV charging services as well as the
Gentari Go for Business fleet management services.
Senthil Balan, Chief Venture Officer of Gentari
Green Mobility, commented, “Gentari fully supports
Thailand’s aim to grow its EV ecosystem, facilitating the
adoption of sustainable mobility. Aligned with our goal to become
Asia Pacific’s leading green mobility solutions partner, we
remain focused on co-creating solutions that address the unique
needs and aspirations of each country. In Thailand, we are
