Gentari Sdn Bhd, a leading provider of clean energy solutions based in Malaysia, has introduced Gentari Go, a customer-centric platform aimed at integrating a sustainable lifestyle by bringing together Gentari's clean energy ecosystem. Initially focusing on green mobility and renewable energy solutions, Gentari Go has been launched in Malaysia, with plans for further expansion across Southeast Asia and India in 2024, according to Gentari's announcement.
According to the statement, Gentari Go is designed to be a companion for consumers looking to transition to clean energy. “Our aim is to become the platform of choice for every consumer starting their clean energy journey". It is noted that Gentari Go’s conceptualization anchors on core features that address the pains of consumers – both individuals and businesses and its ecosystem will continue to be developed towards its vision of building a unified clean energy community.
Built upon Gentari's green mobility foundation, Gentari Go provides a smooth and user-friendly EV charging experience tailored for the Asian market. It represents an EV charging solution designed specifically for Asia by Asia. “Gentari Go offers simple, elegant interfaces that guide first-time users through discovery, activation and payment processes effortlessly. For seasoned users, we’ve integrated advanced features like our charging curve, providing real-time insights into energy consumption during charging sessions", said Shah Yang.
Expanding upon the existing roaming collaborations with EV Connection and ChargeEV, which grant consumers access to more than 70 percent of charging stations in Malaysia, Gentari Go now facilitates cross-border charging through the inaugural EV Charging Corridor extending from Singapore to Thailand. This initiative is undertaken in partnership with regional charging point operators (CPOs) such as CDG Engie, City Energy Go, and EVolt, alongside charging point management ensured by SOC2 & ISO12700-certified Virta.
These partnerships enable access to over 2,000 chargers across Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. For consumers without an EV, the platform offers the option to rent an EV through its partnership with GoCar, thus helping consumers make the critical leap from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EV). In line with Gentari Go’s aim to be the preferred sustainable lifestyle partner of consumers across Asia Pacific, the platform incorporates Gentari’s renewable energy pillar, supported by home energy solutions such as EV home charging as well as solar, enabling the flow of green energy from Roof to Wall to Wheel.
Gentari Go strengthens the commitment to adopting clean energy by offering consumers incentives, allowing them to earn and redeem points for utilizing the platform and supporting clean energy initiatives. In addition to providing a holistic consumer experience, Gentari Go also enables businesses across different sectors to maximize their opportunities within the green energy ecosystem. This includes fleet operators, charging point operators, automotive companies, and a range of other product and service providers.
Fleet operators who enlist in the Gentari Go platform gain access to an expanded charger network and can enhance fleet management through telematics assistance. Similarly, charging point operators (CPOs) can enhance their attractiveness to drivers by integrating with the Gentari Go roaming network. Additionally, premises owners and managers interested in becoming CPOs can choose Gentari Go's CPO-in-a-Box Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution, which includes an app, universal QR, customizable app products, and guidance for CP management.
