Leader Energy and BMW Malaysia Collaborate to Expand EV Charging Network Across Malaysia

Leader Energy Holding Berhad, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Leader EV Solutions Sdn Bhd, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with BMW Malaysia Sdn Bhd. According to the MOU, BMW branding will be featured in all of Leader EV’s Galaxy Charge network locations along the North-South Highway in Malaysia.

Both companies will collaborate on campaigns promoting vehicle charging for BMW-affiliated brands within Leader EV’s Galaxy Charge network. Leader Energy and its subsidiaries are independent power producers specializing in the development, ownership, operations, and maintenance of power assets and projects.

Under the terms of the MOU, Leader EV will be responsible for developing, installing, operating, and maintaining the Galaxy Charge network. Additionally, Leader EV will actively promote and raise awareness about electric vehicle charging technology. BMW, on the other hand, will ensure public access to charging solutions through subscriptions or membership programs via Leader EV’s Galaxy Charge network.

Dato’ Sean H’ng, executive deputy chairman of Leader Energy, expressed excitement about the partnership with BMW Group Malaysia. He emphasized the potential for increased demand for EV charging stations in Malaysia, particularly with the country’s growing Electric Vehicles (EV) market.

He added that the collaboration would strengthen their position in the market, especially with charging projects along the North-South Highway, serving as a foundation for expanding their network across the country.

Sashi Ambi, head of corporate communications and sustainability at BMW Group Malaysia, highlighted the importance of strategic partnerships in advancing the EV ecosystem. He stressed their joint commitment to improving public access to charging infrastructure and reducing range anxiety, especially during long-distance journeys.

Ambi also mentioned their plan to expand the charging network to over 1,000 facilities, providing BMW customers with a comprehensive premium EV ownership experience.
