Edotco, a regional integrated telecommunications infrastructure services company, and ChargeSini, an electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider, have signed a collaborative agreement to revolutionise the development of EV infrastructure in Malaysia. The two companies are aiming to install EV charging stations at more than 200 potential in-building locations and poles nationwide.
Edotco’s experience in telecommunications infrastructure positions it as a key player in providing power connectivity and securing parking bays at selected sites. This ensures a seamless integration of EV charging stations into its existing infrastructure.
The selection of the building locations in the initial phase is geared towards promoting sustainable urban mobility. Both Edotco and ChargeSini envision an expansion strategy that utilises Edotco’s existing outdoor smart poles in city centres nationwide, with the goal of not only increasing the number of charging stations but also extending the reach of electric vehicle charging to diverse markets.
Edotco Group Director of Malaysia Business, Gayan Koralage said, “With over 13,000 electric vehicles already on Malaysian roads, we are gearing up for an exponential increase to half a million by 2025. This burgeoning demand underscores the need for comprehensive charging stations across the country.”
“Our infrastructures, readily available at strategic locations such as malls, airports, hospitals, universities, and roadside smart poles, seamlessly integrate with and bolster the growing EV ecosystem. This initiative is a component of our Value-Creation-Cadence framework within the Edotco’s business strategy, marking a significant leap towards adjacent revenue stream”, the director added.
