Perodua P-Circle Super App Launched – e-Wallet, Charging Map, Mobile Charger

National automaker Perodua has ventured into the Mobility as a Service space by launching its new P-Circle super app.

National automaker Perodua is gearing towards launching its first-ever EV model by venturing into the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) space with its new P-Circle super app. This new mobile app boasts tons of functions and services for P2’s upcoming EV, as well as other lifestyle features.

One of the key features is the P-Duit e-wallet, created in partnership with local e-commerce service provider Fasspay. Just like the plethora of other e-wallets in Malaysia, P-Duit can be used to pay for anything, including payment to activate EV chargers from multiple brands and operators.

On the topic of Perodua EVs, this super app also features several specific features for owners, including both the P-Guardian and the P-Charge Mobile. The former includes Perodua’s own home wall box charger, which comes with a surveillance app where owners can monitor the condition of their home via the camera embedded in the wall box.

Meanwhile, the latter is P2’s take on the mobile charger game, where Perodua EV owners can call for an emergency charging service using the brand’s own mobile charger unit. It features a 184-kWh battery pack that supports up to 60 kW of DC charging via a CCS2 plug, and it can also be deployed at events or remote locations where EV chargers are scarce.

Speaking of charging, Perodua also introduces its own navigation system with the P-Map, which includes a dedicated charging map. As of now, the national automaker has partnered with up to 8 local charging point operators (CPOs), estimatedly covering 80% of the nation’s whole EV charging infrastructure.

Beyond the EV-specific functions, the P-Circle super app also includes P-Vehicle, which is essentially a vehicle telemetry system that grants user access to functions like remote start, unlocking, and more. More importantly, this function will be made available not only to P2’s EV model but also to selected combustion models, although its rollout will take place after the EV debuts locally.

On top of that, existing Perodua owners can also use the P-Marketplace feature to purchase genuine Perodua parts directly from the automaker, thus ensuring that they’ll get genuine parts. To go with this, there’s also the P-Chat owners’ forum, where fellow Perodua owners can share tips and guides on maintaining and keeping their cars.

Other functions included in the P-Circle super app are the P-Entertainment media streaming service, Check-in, P-Home virtual smart home, P-Reward loyalty programme, P-Health, and many more.

Apart from the super app, Perodua is also launching its own smartwatch device. Set to be retailed from RM950, this smartwatch is tied down to several functions on the super app, like P-Health and P-Home, which will go on sale at Perodua service centres soon.

“The P-Circle offers mobility as a lifestyle, as all these offerings cover a significant portion of our online services engagement under one super app,” said Perodua President and CEO Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad.

“This diversification into tech-based business is in line with our future direction and the auto industry’s future in terms of convergence with consumer preference towards connecting their vehicles and even homes with the Internet.”

The Perodua P-Circle super app is now available for download at both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
