What EV Connection does

EV Connection Sdn Bhd (EVC) is a Malaysian integrated EV charging infrastructure company headquartered in Petaling Jaya, founded in 2016, operating across 13 Malaysian states and Singapore through an associate company (EVC Connection Pte Ltd). The company provides an end-to-end portfolio spanning AC chargers (7kW–22kW) and DC fast chargers (up to 350kW), certified installation services, the JomCharge charge-point-operator network and mobile application, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for commercial and highway sites, and solar PV systems for residential and commercial customers. Headcount is 51–100, the firm is privately held by its founders with Managing Director Ir Lee Yuen How, and no external institutional investor or parent company is identified in the source data.

The technology platform integrates hardware supply, certified installation, cloud-connected charge point operation, and the JomCharge consumer app supporting Touch n' Go, RFID, QR, and AutoCharge (plug-and-charge) authentication. JomCharge covers approximately 70% of EV charging locations in Malaysia via direct assets and roaming agreements with Gentari and ChargEV. EVC has installed Malaysia's first Tesla Supercharger (8 units, up to 250kW each at Pavilion KL), Southeast Asia's first 350kW public DC charger (X Park Sunway Serene), the first BESS-integrated highway charging station (Behrang R&R, 300kW/300kWh), and the first mobile EV charging vehicle (developed with BMW using repurposed i3/i8 and MINI battery modules). The company is the recommended EV charging partner for nearly every OEM operating in Malaysia, including Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, BYD, Porsche, Hyundai, Proton, Perodua, Chery, Audi, Bentley, Nissan, Volvo, Renault, KIA, Smart, MG, Mazda, Great Wall Motors, Mitsubishi, and UMW Toyota.

EVC's business model combines multiple revenue streams: hardware sales (AC units RM1,700–RM5,000+), installation services (RM1,900 per home unit), per-kWh charging fees and idle fees on the JomCharge network, BESS deployment under the Zero Capex Programme (EVC funds, owns, and operates, sharing savings with the host), residential and commercial solar PV installation, and subscription-based JomCharge Elite Membership. Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales to automakers, property developers, government agencies, highway operators, and O&G companies; a self-serve e-commerce storefront for homeowners and SMBs; and the JomCharge mobile app for consumer charging. Strategic alliances with Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, Gentari, Maxis, Sunway Group, BMW, Alliance Bank, CelcomDigi, MBpj, Pro-net, and SP Mobility extend the firm's reach across automotive, energy, telecom, real estate, financial services, and government verticals. Cumulative operational metrics include 5,002 chargers installed, 237,345 charging sessions, and 1,142 metric tonnes of CO₂ offset.

Broad incumbents

• NaaS (Newlinks Technology): NaaS is China's largest EV charging service platform and publicly traded on NASDAQ. Operates as an asset-light CPO platform with extensive network coverage — a relevant scaled comparable for EVC's JomCharge network aggregation model.
• ChargePoint: ChargePoint operates one of the largest global EV charging networks with 225K+ charging ports. While US-focused and not directly competing in Malaysia, it shares the same integrated hardware-plus-network-operator business model that EVC executes regionally.
• EVgo: EVgo is a US public EV fast-charging network operator focused on DC fast charging infrastructure. Comparable business model as a pure-play CPO, with similar revenue mix from charging session fees and hardware partnerships.
• Blink Charging: Blink Charging operates a global EV charging equipment and networked EV charging services business. Comparable vertically-integrated business model spanning equipment sales and network operations across multiple markets.

Others

• ABB E-mobility: ABB is a global EV charging hardware manufacturer (ABB Terra AC/DC) whose products are sold and installed by EVC. Functions as both a key supplier and adjacent peer in the integrated EV charging value chain.
• Kempower: Kempower is a Finnish DC fast charging hardware manufacturer whose chargers are deployed by EVC across Malaysian sites including the Behrang R&R BESS-powered station. Supplier relationship combined with product overlap in DC fast charging space.

Direct peers

• Gentari: Gentari is Petronas' clean energy subsidiary operating one of the largest EV charging networks in Malaysia. It is both a direct CPO competitor and a roaming/co-development partner of EV Connection, making it the closest peer in the Malaysian market.
• ChargEV: ChargEV is a major Malaysian CPO with roaming agreements via JomCharge. Operates a comparable public charging network across Malaysia with similar business model, making it a directly competitive peer in the same geography.
• Tesla Supercharger Network: Tesla operates its own proprietary Supercharger network in Malaysia, with EVC as the certified installation and operations partner. Tesla's vertical integration model represents both a partnership channel and a strategic threat to EVC's CPO economics.

Emerging players

• Wallbox: Wallbox is a global smart EV charging company offering residential and commercial chargers with cloud management software. Directly comparable in residential charger segment where EVC also competes.
