KUALA LUMPUR: Gentari Sdn Bhd (Gentari), via its wholly-owned subsidiary Gentari Green Mobility Sdn Bhd, has expanded its electric vehicle (EV) charging network into Sarawak in partnership with Sarawak Energy Bhd (SEB).
The first charging points in the state are located at Kuching's ICOM Square, a strategic lifestyle location with easy access to malls, restaurants and office buildings.
Green Mobility Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Shah Yang Razalli said the launch of Gentari's inaugural EV fast charging station in Kuching marks a pivotal stride in advancing the EV infrastructure across Sarawak.
Shah said this launch, the first of many to come, signifies substantial progress in bolstering the region's EV network.
"By introducing 24/7 fast charging capabilities, we are not only building range confidence, but making the transition to EVs an appealing one," he said in a statement.
The station offers three charging points, two of which are equipped with an impressive 180kW DC charging power, making it the fastest and largest capacity public charging station in Borneo.
Accessible 24/7, the charging service will be on trial throughout September.
Users in Kuching will also have the convenience of accessing a network of 600 charging points across Malaysia through Gentari's EV roaming network via both the Setel and JomCharge mobile application.
