Charge+ and ChargeSini collaborate to provide mutual roaming EV charging

By CARSIFU | 5 April 2024


SINGAPORE: Leading electric vehicle (EV) charging operators Charge+ from Singapore and ChargeSini from Malaysia have signed a roaming collaboration agreement that grants EV drivers from both parties access to each other’s charging networks.

Both the Singapore and Malaysian governments have identified the EV sector as a key growth area and have rolled out pro-EV policies to encourage the uptake of EVs.

This roaming partnership between Charge+ and ChargeSini will enhance the convenience of cross-border EV charging and increase the confidence of EV drivers in long-distance driving.

The agreement was signed and announced here by Charge+ CEO Goh Chee Kiong and ChargeSini founder and CEO James Goh.

Charge+ is a leading EV charging operator in Southeast Asia, with about 2,000 EV charging points implemented in Singapore and across the region.

The company aims to install 30,000 EV charging points in Southeast Asia by 2030.

This roaming agreement is highly synergistic with Charge+’s ongoing implementation of an EV charging highway that spans 5,000km across five Southeast Asia countries, namely Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, the longest EV charging backbone in the region.

Charge+ had also earlier announced roaming partnerships with several key EV charging players in the region, namely Thailand’s Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), Malaysia’s Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) and Indonesia’s Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN).

ChargeSini (Chargehere EV Solution Sdn Bhd) is Malaysia’s leading EV charging solutions provider and has a network of 701 operational EV charging bays across 224 hubs,
strategically located across Peninsular and East Malaysia.

This network includes 122 DC charging points and 579 AC charging points, accessible through ChargeSini’s proprietary app that is available on both Apple (iOS) and Google (Android) devices.

This roaming partnership will grant ChargeSini app users access to the Charge+ EV charging network in Singapore, Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia.
