PRO-NET Expands Charging Network to Meet Surging Demand for New Energy Vehicles

In response to the growing demand for New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), PRO-NET is thrilled to unveil the expansion of its charging infrastructure network. With a dedicated mission to accelerate adoption and facilitate convenient travel for EV owners, our organization is committed to delivering seamless access to fast and efficient charging solutions throughout Malaysia.

Since the introduction of the PROTON DC Charger at its headquarters in October last year, PRO-NET has taken proactive steps to expand the charging infrastructure across its PROTON Edar Dealerships. Collaborating with partner Gentari, the organization has successfully deployed six (6) DC Chargers, totaling twelve (12) charging bays, with each bay equipped with two nozzles. This rollout includes one unit each of 50 kW, 100 kW, and 120 kW, as well as three units of 60 kW DC chargers.
The expansion marks a substantial addition to our existing smart dealership network, which prides itself on offering a comprehensive charging solution. Spanning Peninsular Malaysia, the installation of five (5) DC chargers and thirteen (13) AC Chargers has resulted in a grand total of twenty-two (22) charging bays.

Furthermore, PRO-NET is poised to extend its footprint in the East, with imminent plans to introduce additional charging infrastructure as part of its dealership expansion network in Sabah.

Hello smart App Expands Accessibility to Over 70% of Charging Stations
As the pioneering automotive brand to introduce groundbreaking features in Malaysia, including an integrated charging map that seamlessly integrates vehicle usage with users' digital lifestyle, PRO-NET is committed to addressing range anxiety by offering a comprehensive EV charging map. The Hello smart App provides real-time updates on charging points, including availability status, ensuring a hassle-free charging experience for users.

Currently, over 70% of public charging points are accessible through the Hello smart App, thanks to strategic partnerships with industry leaders such as chargEV, JomCharge, and Gentari. Users can effortlessly access the charging map from PROTON Edar and Smart Malaysia dealerships, underscoring our dedication to convenience and accessibility.

In alignment with our Global Sustainability Strategy and our unwavering dedication to promoting sustainable transportation solutions, PRO-NET warmly invites owners of various EV vehicles or brands to utilize our chargers. However, we acknowledge that access to chargers at the Hap Seng dealer is presently reserved for smart and Mercedes-Benz owners.

"As PRO-NET advances into new markets, we are steadfast in asserting our leadership in this rapidly evolving sector. With our robust ecosystem of digital solutions, exemplified by the Hello smart App, and the continuous expansion of charging facilities, we are not just keeping pace; we are driving the movement towards modern urban living. Each strategic initiative underscores our commitment to providing innovative solutions that deliver unparalleled convenience and sustainability for EV owners nationwide," emphasized Zhang Qiang, Chief Executive Officer of PRO-NET.
