Sunway Group together with Gentari Sdn Bhd and EV Connection Sdn Bhd have signed an MOU to build and install EV charging stations at Sunway-owned premises, commercial buildings and facilities throughout the country.
Through this collaboration, Gentari via its wholly owned subsidiary, Gentari Green Mobility Sdn Bhd, will be a co-development partner for EV charging stations at Sunway’s integrated townships and developments throughout Malaysia. This agreement will also see EV Connection work with the developer to identify strategic locations for the installation of these charging stations at Sunway’s integrated townships and developments throughout Malaysia to reduce range anxiety.
“Electric vehicles are increasingly the preferred option among Malaysians. The growing number of EVs will require a robust network of charging stations throughout the country. This partnership is a concrete step towards that goal. At Sunway, we
firmly believe that we can all do well by doing good,” said Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dr. Jeffrey Cheah, who also chairs the Malaysian chapter of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UN-SDSN).
Ir Lee Yuen How, Managing Director of EV Connection said, “This tri-partied partnership is a collective effort to bring together property owners and charge point operators towards a common goal of driving electric mobility revolution in the region.
Under the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint 2021-2023, Malaysia aims to have EVs and hybrid vehicles account for at least 15 percent of the total industry volume by 2030. In addition, the government is targeting to have 10,000 EV charging stations
nationwide by 2025.
