New entrant to e-mobility service solutions, Vcharge Asia, has introduced its system of fast-charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EV) at the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM) 2023.
Vcharge is part of Ocean Vantage Holdings Bhd, which is involved in the oil & gas industry. Seeing the need to grow the sustainable mobility sector, Vcharge is working on establishing an extensive network of EV charging infrastructure and services for convenience and accessibility.
“As Malaysia’s sustainability industry continues to flourish and gain momentum, the nation is more receptive towards sustainable transportation solutions. With our newly launched charging infrastructure, we are not just increasing charging speed; we are fundamentally reshaping the entire EV experience. We believe that the future of mobility should be fast, convenient, and sustainable. Together, we are expediting the transition to a cleaner, greener future — one where EVs play a pivotal role in transforming how we move and reducing our environmental footprint,” said Kenny Ronald Ngalin, Founder of Ocean Vantage Holdings. Vcharge is employing an innovative approach to charging infrastructure. It aims to strategically establish its stations in municipal council-owned parking lots, specifically catering to busy office and commercial hubs, to further increase accessibility for users.
Moreover, the focus for Vcharge is on enhancing the charging speed and efficiency of its targeted 100 EV charging points across Malaysia. Its fastest chargers can reduce the typical 3-hour charging time to about 30 minutes.
Working on the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), the Vcharge platform is compatible with over 50 brands of EV charging equipment. Vcharge Asia boasts an extensive portfolio of EV charging equipment from DC charging modules, portable DC chargers, and well-mounted AC chargers, among others. The brand’s bespoke solutions cater to diverse EV requirements, ranging from personal cars to public buses. Its network expansion will include both in-house brand and seamless integration of other charging equipment brands, to offer versatility and accessibility.
Besides the charging infrastructure, Vcharge has also developed a mobile application for a more seamless experience. The app allows for effortless navigation, from locating the nearest charging station to checking for real-time charge point availability to remotely monitoring the charging progress.
“The core of the Vcharge app is to simplify every aspect of EV charging for a user-centric and hassle-free experience. Coupled with our strategic positioning of charging points within city limits to push the EV movement forward, we hope to continue complementing government initiatives to expand coverage along long-distance routes,” added Kenny.
Moving into 2024, Vcharge Asia is set to expand its portfolio, leveraging on its expertise as a solutions provider. The company is looking at installaing EV charging points in car parks managed by local councils such as DBKL, Putrajaya, MBSJ, and MBPJ. Concurrently, it will also be shoring up its charging network presence in in Miri and other cities in Sarawak.
