Petronas owned Gentari has expanded its electric vehicle (EV) charging network in Sarawak in partnership with Sarawak Energy Berhad.
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. 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 the month of 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.
In June 2023, Gentari signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement with SEB, which includes partnering to grow EV adoption in Sarawak through the development of a comprehensive and wide-ranging Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in the state – an initiative that will be vita for promoting green mobility solutions and encouraging the shift towards low carbon
transportation.
