Proton partners to launch nationwide e.MAS EV charging stations by 2026

Proton New Energy Technology Sdn. Bhd. (PRO-NET) is set to significantly expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure by collaborating with leading charging point operators (CPOs). The company has partnered with DC Handal, JomCharge, and chargEV to introduce e.MAS branded charging stations across Malaysia.

As more Malaysians choose electric vehicles, access to convenient and readily available charging facilities will become increasingly important in the ownership experience.

The implementation of these e.MAS branded stations is slated to commence in the third quarter of 2026. Initially, they will be deployed in high-traffic, strategic public locations before a nationwide rollout. PRO-NET CEO Zhang Qiang emphasized that this collaboration strengthens the e.MAS ecosystem, promising a smoother experience for customers and supporting the increasing adoption of EVs in Malaysia.

“

Through cooperation with major CPOs, we want to make charging more convenient and provide more benefits to e.MAS owners, especially when they charge at prime locations.

This initiative is a proactive step in PRO-NET's efforts to collaborate with industry partners to support the development of access to EV charging facilities in Malaysia.

Currently, the Proton e.MAS app provides access to over 4,700 charging points, covering more than 90 percent of Malaysia. The app features a Live Charging Map accessible within e.MAS vehicles. Ahmad Munif Halim, Head of Charging at PRO-NET, noted that this strategic alliance with CPOs is a crucial step in expanding the Proton e.MAS ecosystem and enhancing the brand's presence in public charging stations. The initiative is part of PRO-NET's proactive efforts to collaborate with industry partners to bolster EV charging accessibility in Malaysia.
