Bangkok, Thailand, 19 December 2024 - Gentari Sdn Bhd (Gentari) through its wholly-owned subsidiary Gentari Green
Mobility Sdn Bhd, is strengthening its presence in Thailand via new
collaborations to expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging network and introduce
its Vehicle-as-a-Service offering in the country.
These collaborations intend
to contribute to Thailand’s 30@30 aspiration, comprising several
electrification and decarbonisation targets. Spearheaded by the National
Electric Vehicle Policy Committee, Thailand aims for EVs to achieve a 30%
market share in vehicle manufacturing and sales by 2030—spanning private cars,
trucks, and buses—supported by a network of 12,000 EV charging points.
Gentari Go activated in
Thailand
To enhance accessibility and convenience for EV users, Gentari is
introducing Gentari Go in Thailand, an app-based customer experience platform
that allows customers to seamlessly discover, use, and pay for EV charging
facilities while enjoying rewards. The app also offers advanced features such
as real-time energy consumption insights, helping users efficiently manage
their EV charging sessions.
Building on this initiative, Gentari’s partnership with
Thailand’s leading EV charging provider, Evolt Technology, ensures EV drivers gain
seamless access to an extensive network of strategically located charging
stations via Gentari Go. Positioned in high-traffic areas such as petrol
stations, shopping centres, and medical centres, these chargers make charging
simple and convenient for users always on the move. With Gentari Go, drivers
can also journey across Thailand to Malaysia and Singapore, connecting to over
2,800 charging points through a single app.
Expansion of Gentari Vehicle-as-a-Service
in Thailand
Additionally, Gentari
Green Mobility and ThaiEV Co Ltd (ThaiEV) have also combined forces to form a joint
venture company, Gentari Mobility Co Ltd (GMCL). GMCL aims to facilitate the
rollout of Gentari’s Vehicle-as-a-Service offering in the country supported by
EV charging services as well as the Gentari
Go for Business fleet management services.
Senthil Balan, Chief
Venture Officer of Gentari Green Mobility, commented, “Gentari fully supports
Thailand’s aim to grow its EV ecosystem, facilitating the adoption of sustainable
mobility. Aligned with our goal to become Asia Pacific’s leading green mobility
solutions partner, we remain focused on co-creating solutions that address the
