Go By City Energy Facilitates Malaysia – Singapore Cross-border EV Charging
Go by City Energy is the latest EV charging service to start a cross-border EV charging network and extend the range of electric driving. Operated by City Energy Go Pte Ltd, it is the first to offer EV charging service in Malaysia and Singapore within a single mobile application for seamless convenience. City Energy Go is a subsidiary of City Energy, Singapore’s sole piped town gas provider.
Lee Yuen How signed the cross-border partnership.
Formerly called City Gas, the 160-year-old company was rebranded as City Energy in December 2021 as it pivots to provide new energy solutions beyond its core piped gas service to homes and businesses in Singapore. Under the new branding, Go, the EV service provider finances, operates and maintains a network of EV charging stations, supported by its mobile app. It has a strategic partnership with EV Connection Sdn Bhd to extend charging connectivity into Malaysia. With this partnership, EV drivers can access EV Connection’s network of charge points in Malaysia from 19 April 2022 via the Go app.
EV Connection is one of Malaysia’s pioneers in electric vehicle charging solutions and an authorised EV charging station distributor registered with Suruhanjaya Tenaga, CIDB, Tenaga Nasional Berhad and MyHijau. EV Connection is also a TÜV SÜD certified EV charger installer, and works with numerous auto manufacturers. Founder of EV Connection and Managing Director of JomCharge, Mr. Lee Yuen How said “EV Connection strives to provide practical solutions to spearhead the green industry here in Malaysia. This groundbreaking strategic partnership with Go by City Energy allows both Singapore and Malaysia EV drivers to extend their range across both countries for maximum connectivity and convenience.”
“Go will be the first service in Singapore that extends EV charging capabilities into Malaysia, providing an added convenience for drivers on both sides of the Causeway as well as up and down the North-South Highway. We are confident that both consumers and real estate developers will take advantage of the total value we offer for greener and smarter living,” said City Energy Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Perry Ong.
City Energy is also leveraging its long-established relationships with real estate developers from its gas business to develop EV charge points in condominiums. With the first chargers available at Parc Botannia at Fernvale for a start, more standard AC chargers and faster DC chargers will be available for residents at another 11 private condominiums i.e. Olloi in Marine Parade (May 2022), Jadescape in Marymount (July2022), Parc Komo in Changi (Q1 2023), Van Holland in Holland Village (April2023), Kopar at Newton in Newton (Jan 2024), The M Condo in Bugis (Q1 2024), Forett at Bukit Timah in Bukit Timah (October2024), North Gaia in Yishun (January2025), The Arden in Bukit Batok (January2026), A Treasure Trove in Punggol and North Park Residences in Yishun.
“We are proud to partner City Energy for their first installation of Go charge points in our residential development Parc Botannia at Fernvale, and our upcoming executive condominium North Gaia in Yishun. Both properties are inspired and surrounded by nature, making them the ideal locations for conscious green living with the comfort of timeless modern design,” said Mr Lee Sze Hao, CEO, Sing Holdings Limited. “The EV charging services provided by Go for both projects are essential solutions for the next generation of Singapore living.”
The Malaysian section of this charging network currently spans the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, between Johor Bahru and Penang island.
