Pro-Net teams up with four charge point operators to expand EV charging access for apartment and condo residents

Malay Mail07-05-2025

KUALA LUMPUR, May 7 — Staying in high-rise residential buildings shouldn't be a barrier to own an EV. More condominium and apartment residents can enjoy convenient and cheaper access to EV charging as Pro-Net has signed a collaboration agreement with four top Charge Point Operators (CPO) in the country.
With its collaboration with Charge+, ChargeSini, RExharge and Charge N Go, Pro-Net aims to strengthen the national EV ecosystem and to support the increasing number of Proton e.MAS and smart owners.
Pro-Net provides e.MAS and Smart owners access to 1,053 EV charge points at condominiums and apartments
At the moment, Proton e.MAS and Smart customers can conveniently charge their EVs at 320 condominiums and apartments nationwide, and this includes its existing partnership with EV Connection (EVC) in December 2024. In total, Pro-Net now lists a total of 1,053 charging points at high-rise residential buildings across Malaysia.
Pro-Net added that these initiatives contribute to Malaysia's 90 per cent coverage milestone for public charging needs, which compliments the current network of 2,500 public charging points nationwide.
In addition, Pro-Net aims to make EV ownership easier and more affordable by working directly with the four CPOs to install chargers at residential condominiums and apartments.
Singapore-based Charge+ is installing chargers at 18 condominium locations while Time's Charge N Go is installing chargers at 93 condominium locations.
Meanwhile, ChargeSini is the largest player by coverage with over 1,010 charge points nationwide and it is expanding its charger installation to cover 204 condominium locations. RExharge is also supporting the partnership with charging solutions backed by more than 1,000 residential projects and more than 100 EV chargers, and they will be installing chargers at 5 condominium locations.
As the public charging network continues to grow, home EV charging is still the cheapest option but it is often limited to residents of landed property. The initiative aims to provide Proton e.MAS and Smart owners access to charge at their condo at lower rates than typical public chargers, with the aim of reducing the cost of owning an EV.
Special rate for Proton e.MAS and Smart Owners
To celebrate the collaboration, Pro-Net is offering a limited-time promo where Proton e.MAS and Smart owners can enjoy discounted rate for EV charging at participating condominium charging points provided by each CPO. Each partner CPO will offer customised promotional pricing from RM0.75 per kWh as listed below:
Charge+ – AC Charging from RM0.75/kWh
ChargeSini – AC Charging from RM0.84/kWh, DC Charging from RM1.11/kWh
RExharge – AC Charging from RM0.75/kWh, DC Charging from RM0.99/kWh
Charge N Go – AC Charging from RM0.75/kWh
To enjoy these rates, you'll need to activate and pay for EV charging via the Proton e.MAS app which has built-in EV charging integration with live map for each CPO's charging platform. With this offer, Pro-Net says EV users can expect monthly savings of up to RM200, compared to public charging. — SoyaCincau

Sarawak's 11th Multifuel Station in Batu Kawa to open soon

KUCHING: The Petros Multifuel Station (MFS) in Batu Kawa is set to begin operations soon, making it the 11th MFS in Sarawak and the second flagship station in the state equipped with hydrogen dispensing capabilities. In a statement today, Sarawak Economic Development Corporation Energy (SEDCE) said the physical structure of the station has been fully completed, and the team is now working closely with regulatory authorities to ensure full compliance before commissioning. 'MFS Batu Kawa is the second flagship station after MFS Darul Hana. It is designed to offer conventional fuels, fast electric vehicle (EV) charging and hydrogen dispensing,' it said. According to the statement, MFS Batu Kawa will receive its hydrogen supply from MFS Darul Hana, which houses an on-site hydrogen production plant with a capacity of 150kg. 'The hydrogen will be transported via tube trailers, and a Mobile Hydrogen Refuelling System will be used to dispense the fuel. This distribution model is the first of its kind in the region,' it added. Earlier today, Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian visited the site and was briefed on the station's progress and key features. SEDCE also said that the Koperasi Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (KOBOPEM) was appointed earlier this year as the operator of MFS Batu Kawa to support the cooperative in generating sustainable income for its members. To date, 10 multifuel stations are fully operational across Sarawak, namely in Darul Hana (Kuching), Daro, Kanowit, Kuala Matu, Brooke Drive (Sibu), Selangau, Tatau, Kapit, Sungai Asap, and Jepak. Meanwhile, SEDCE said four more flagship stations are in the pipeline in Sri Aman, Sibu, Bintulu, and Miri. Construction of the Bintulu station at Jalan Sultan Iskandar is expected to begin in the second half of this year. 'Three MFS are currently under construction, and more than 40 sites are in the planning and processing stages across Sarawak. 'Once completed, these stations will provide customers with a network of EV charging facilities in addition to conventional fuels,' it added.

Romanian president nominates Liberal Party leader Ilie Bolojan as PM

REUTERS/Yves Herman/ File Photo BUCHAREST (Reuters) -Centrist President Nicusor Dan nominated Liberal Party leader Ilie Bolojan as Romania's prime minister on Friday after weeks of negotiations on forming a coalition government to tackle the largest budget deficit in the European Union. Bolojan will continue talks with four pro-European parties over cabinet appointments and fiscal measures and he is expected to ask parliament to give his government its vote of confidence next week. The incoming government must lower the fiscal deficit from last year's 9.3% of economic output to avoid a ratings downgrade from the last rung of investment grade and unblock billions of euros worth of EU funds. It will likely include the centre-left Social Democrats, the country's biggest party, as well as Bolojan's Liberals, centre-right Save Romania Union and the ethnic Hungarian party UDMR. "It is in Romania's interest that the government is supported by a solid majority, and the parties understand this," Dan said. The four parties and the president spent weeks wrangling over ways to lower the deficit, hesitating over unpopular tax hikes Brussels, ratings agencies and analysts say are inevitable but which are likely to further bolster the rising far-right. The fiscal package will likely save around 30 billion lei ($6.9 billion) and entail an equal mix of spending cuts, postponed investments and tax hikes.
