Gentari subsidiary EV Charge Go (EVCG) has tweeted a video on its official Twitter page to promote its new mobile EV charger. Still going strong, the Proton Exora has been given a second life and has been the chosen vehicle by the company as a prototype to house its charger unit.
The clean energy company has detailed the battery capacities its Exora prototype mobile EV charger is able to support, which includes cars with battery capacities of 30 kWh or 60 kWh. The Gentari subsidiary has not shared details regarding the charging speeds or charging packages it will be offering but has mentioned that it will be offering its charging services in 15-minute blocks.
In the company’s video and previous tweets, a few types of connectors can be seen available on the Exora mobile EV charger. The connector on the most left and right can be identified as a DC CCS2 plug and an AC Type 2 plug. The round-shaped connector in between the two however is most likely to be a DC CHAdeMo plug.
The EV charger was seen tested on a couple of EVs. This includes the Tesla Model 3, Porsche Taycan, and the Kia EV6. This testing activity is the clean energy company’s 3-month pilot project, primarily aimed towards businesses for the moment, and can help power fleets during trade shows, exhibitions, or during customer engagement events such as test drives or track days. It is not opened to the public as of yet though.

Previously, BMW Group Malaysia also previewed its own Mobile Charging Vehicle prototype, together with EV Connection, at the previously held Malaysia Autoshow 2023. BMW Malaysia’s Mobile Charging Vehicle, just like EVCG’s, was also housed by an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle, but in the form of a Nissan Vanette.
The BMW Mobile Charging Vehicle was made of used batteries from BMW and MINI EVs, with about 70% of State of Health (SoH). It is capable of providing up to 30 kVA three-phase AC power on demand via its 20 kWh battery.
