SINGAPORE - Charge+, one of the largest electric vehicle (EV) charging companies in Southeast Asia, and XPENG Motors (“XPENG”), a leading China-based high-tech company, have officially announced a strategic partnership to enable long distance driving for EVs by building a network of high-powered supercharging hubs across Southeast Asia.
This initiative will see at least 20 Direct Current (DC) supercharging sites across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, with power ratings of up to 480kW DC, capable of delivering a charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 12 minutes using its 451kW peak charging power and 5C Supercharging technology commonly found in XPENG EVs.
In the first phase, four supercharging sites are already ready to serve EV drivers today. These four sites are namely Royal Square Novena in Singapore, Downtown East in Singapore, KL Eco City in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and One Bangkok in Bangkok, Thailand.
As an example, Charge+ has installed six ultra-fast charging points at KL Eco City, a prominent mixed-use development comprising retail, serviced apartments, residential and office buildings spanning 25 acres in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. This hypercharging hub can deliver up to 350kW DC charging speed, which makes it the fastest EV charging station within Kuala Lumpur, thereby offering convenient and rapid charging for EV drivers.
In the second phase, both companies will grow this supercharging network in the existing countries and expand to other countries in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, with deployment at high-traffic locations including commercial hubs, retail malls and highway rest stops across the region.
This partnership is highly synergistic with Charge+’s ongoing implementation of an EV charging highway that spans 5,000km across five Southeast Asia countries, namely Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, the longest EV charging backbone in the region. Together, Charge+ and XPENG will enhance the charging experience for EV drivers by emphasising ultra-fast charging in high-traffic locations and facilitate seamless, cross border travelling for EV drivers.
The launch ceremony was held this morning at Charge+’s office, Beyond X, attended by senior leadership, industry partners and media representatives. Mr. Gao Xiang, General Manager of XPENG Charging, Mr. Lawrence Li, General Manager of XPENG Overseas Charging, Mr. Lee Hoe Lone, Managing Director of Premium Automobile Group, Mr. Goh Chee Kiong, Charge+ CEO and Ms. Koh Xiao Han, Charge+ COO unveiled the first four XPENG–Charge+ co-branded high powered supercharging sites.
As part of the partnership, XPENG EV owners will enjoy an exclusive charging discount on Charge+’s public chargers in Southeast Asia for three years. XPENG owners will also have additional discounts at the XPENG–Charge+ supercharging hubs.
XPENG users will soon have seamless access to Charge+'s public EV charging network across Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand directly through the XPENG mobile App. This functionality is scheduled for integration into the vehicle's dashboard by the end of 2025. Additionally, start and stop charging capabilities on the XPENG App are planned to be launched by the same timeframe.
Mr. Goh Chee Kiong, CEO of Charge+, said, "As the largest EV charging operator in Southeast Asia, Charge+ continues its mission to catalyse electric mobility in the region with its visionary 5,000km EV charging highway that connects Singapore to Hanoi in Vietnam. This partnership with XPENG, a forerunner in EV technology, reflects our shared commitment to enable a seamless experience for long distance, cross border driving."
Mr. Gao Xiang, General Manager of XPENG Charging, said, "We are excited to collaborate with Charge+, a leader in EV charging solutions in Southeast Asia. Supercharging has been a core focus of XPENG with all EV models using technologies such as 800V platforms and 5C batteries to achieve ultra-fast charging. As XPENG continues to bring its innovative EVs to this region, we are confident we will be able to unlock new opportunities together with Charge+.”
Mr. Lee Hoe Lone, Managing Director from Premium Automobile Group, said, "As XPENG's official distributor in Singapore, we have witnessed the rapidly growing popularity of XPENG models like the tech-loaded G6 on Singaporean roads as well as other global markets. With the partnership between XPENG and Charge+, we are happy that XPENG owners are going to enjoy further fast charging services across the country."
