Local tech startup Powered by RISE introduces new charging solution into Malaysia's growing electric vehicle market

Local tech startup Powered by RISE announced the launch of their new product called ONE RISE into Malaysia’s growing electric vehicle market recently. The product is considered to be one of Malaysia’s first electric vehicle (EV) charging stations that is fully equipped with its own payment system.

Powered by RISE's approach to developing charging stations is unique, as it involves developing its own chargers and applications, utilising the IT know-how, which enables the organization to acquire a comprehensive grasp of the technology and tailor its products to satisfy the unique requirements of its customers. This approach enables the company to have more control over the quality and performance of its chargers, as well as the ability to customise products to meet clients' specific needs from different industries such as malls, hotels, condominiums, public parking areas, and many others.

ONE RISE offers a comprehensive range of advanced features including an integrated payment system that supports E-wallet payment methods, a user-friendly interface, and safety features like automatic shut-off mechanisms that prevent overcharging and overheating. Furthermore, it incorporates built-in safeguards that protect against electrical faults and other safety issues.

Additionally, ONE RISE is the world's first charging station to implement flooding and fire detection and prevention systems, providing users with additional peace of mind. It also features an upgraded AI camera that enhances security measures, including license plate detection and motion tracking. This added layer of security ensures the car and user’s safety.

Founder and Director of Powered by RISE, Kray Chong shared, “To accelerate the global transition towards sustainable transportation, it is crucial to provide electric vehicle users with convenient and hassle-free charging experiences. With our 'Powered by RISE' solutions, EV users can easily initiate charging sessions by downloading our All-in-One app from Google Play Store or Apple Apps Store. The app is simple and offers real-time monitoring of energy transfer, remaining charging time, and session cost, all accessible from their smartphone, which further enhances user convenience. This innovative solution represents a significant milestone in promoting the widespread adoption of EVs and a greener future.”

As of 2023, Powered by RISE has already installed more than 14 EV charging ports, with an additional 130 units nationwide in the pipeline.

Malaysia's push for sustainable transportation in 2023

The automotive industry in Malaysia is projected to make a significant contribution of RM104.2 billion to the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030. This forecast is in line with the government's efforts, including the Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) and Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB), aimed at encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles and establishing a reliable charging infrastructure.

To support the growth of the EV industry, Malaysia has been directing investments towards research and development. A noteworthy example is the facilitation of Tesla's entry into the market through the BEV Global Leaders initiative, which aims to bolster demand and further promote the development of the entire ecosystem to facilitate EV adoption. This move towards sustainable transportation is an encouraging development for Malaysia's transportation industry.

“With the government's push for greater adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), there is an expected increase in demand for charging solutions. Powered by RISE remains steadfast in our commitment to providing high-quality charging solutions for electric vehicles. Leveraging years of industry experience, we have established a reputation for delivering innovative and dependable charging products that cater to the specific needs of EV owners. Our charging station is powered by sustainable energy sources, reflecting our commitment to environmental sustainability and facilitating the transition to a clean energy ecosystem. Through our efforts, we aim not only to promote the use of renewable energy but also to encourage the adoption of eco-friendly practices and pave the way for a more sustainable future in Malaysia,” continued Kray.
