Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining traction in Malaysia, and Pro-Net, the distributor for Smart vehicles, is ensuring a smooth ride with an expanded charging network. Their recent announcement highlights significant growth, providing EV owners with more charging options across the country.

Key Takeaways:

• Pro-Net has increased its EV charging infrastructure, offering 36 charging bays in nine Malaysian states.
• This expansion includes Proton Edar dealerships nationwide, making charging more accessible for Proton EV owners.
• The network incorporates a mix of Direct Current (DC) fast chargers and Alternating Current (AC) slower chargers, catering to various charging needs.
• Pro-Net's collaboration with Gentari has been instrumental in deploying these charging stations.

Since introducing the first Proton DC charger at its headquarters in October 2023, Pro-Net has actively expanded charging options at Proton Edar dealerships. Their partnership with Gentari has yielded six DC chargers (offering 12 bays) with varying capacities (50 kW, 100 kW, and 120 kW) alongside three 60 kW units.

The good news extends beyond Proton owners. Pro-Net has also equipped smart dealerships nationwide with charging infrastructure. This includes five DC fast chargers and 13 AC slower chargers, bringing the total network to 22 bays.

With this expansion, Pro-Net demonstrates its commitment to supporting the EV ecosystem in Malaysia. The addition of charging bays at Proton Edar dealerships and smart showrooms strengthens the confidence of EV users. Furthermore, upcoming smart outlets in Petaling Jaya and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, promise even greater accessibility.

Pro-Net's charging network growth is a positive step towards a more sustainable future for Malaysia. EV drivers can feel confident venturing out, knowing they have access to convenient charging options throughout the country.
