SINGAPORE – Go by City Energy (Go) will be the first electric vehicle (EV) charging service provider to offer a seamless operational service across Singapore and Malaysia via a mobile application starting today.
Go, which is owned by Singapore’s sole piped town gas provider, City Energy, today signed an agreement with EV Connection Sdn Bhd to extend connectivity into Malaysia.
“Go will be the first service in Singapore that extends EV charging capabilities into Malaysia, providing an added convenience for drivers on both sides of the causeway as well as up and down the North-South Highway,” said City Energy chief executive officer Perry Ong in a statement.
“We are confident that both consumers and real estate developers will take advantage of the total value we offer for greener and smarter living,” he said.
According to City Energy, EV Connection is one of Malaysia’s pioneers in EV charging solutions and an authorised EV charging station distributor registered with the Energy Commission, Construction Industry Development Board, Tenaga Nasional Bhd, and MyHijau.
With this partnership, Go drivers may access EV Connection’s network of charge points in Malaysia from April 19, 2022, it said.
“EV Connection strives to provide practical solutions to spearhead the green industry here in Malaysia,” founder of EV Connection and managing director of JomCharge, Lee Yuen How, meanwhile, said.
“This groundbreaking strategic partnership with Go by City Energy allows both Singapore and Malaysia EV drivers to extend their range across both countries for maximum connectivity and convenience,” said Lee.
