Gentari Partners Hubject to Streamline EV Charging Across ASEAN

Gentari partners with Hubject to streamline their EV charging services across the Southeast Asian region.

Gentari Green Mobility Sdn Bhd (Gentari) has penned a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with EV interoperability market leader Hubject to streamline both of their EV charging services in the Southeast Asian region.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone towards the longer-term aim of enhancing the accessibility and reliability of the EV charging infrastructure in Malaysia and across the ASEAN region. Through this new partnership, Gentari’s network of EV chargers will be connected to Hubject’s eRoaming platform, allowing EV drivers to seamlessly charge at an expanded network of charging points across the region.

This advancement will be significantly boosted once Gentari's charging points are certified for Hubject’s Plug&Charge via the Gentari Go app, which allows EV drivers to pull up, plug in, and start charging without having to use a mobile app or RFID card. As of now, Gentari is currently holding talks with several OEMs to enable Plug&Charge capabilities for their vehicles, further advancing this seamless charging experience.

Gentari currently holds the largest DCFC network in Malaysia with over 120 DCFC charging points currently operational nationwide.

Currently, Gentari operates the largest DC charging network in Malaysia, with over 120 DCFC points from more than 400 points in the whole country. Prior to this MoU with Hubject, Gentari already had access to over 2,400 chargers across Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand via its EV roaming network enabled via the Gentari Go app.

With Hubject now in the picture, Gentari aims to further streamline the EV charging experience in Southeast Asia with Hubject's connectivity technology, en route to Hubject’s target of achieving one million networked charge points globally by 2024.

Hubject CEO Christian Hahn said, "We are delighted to partner with Gentari. Based on Gentari's strength in the renewable energy sector, the adoption of EVs will be further supported as renewable energies and electric vehicles are providing the highest level of value, like the collaboration between Gentari and Hubject. This will help to establish Gentari as a new EV mobility champion in Southeast Asia. It's exactly this kind of collaboration that will scale up the switch to sustainable mobility."
