Updated 2026: Top 10 CPOs in Malaysia
An analytical look at Malaysia’s EV charging landscape, the rapid expansion of DC fast charging, and how agile operators are accelerating the race toward the nation’s charging targets.
Malaysia’s electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem continues to evolve rapidly. While government-linked entities and global automotive brands often dominate industry headlines, the growth of the nation’s charging infrastructure is also being driven by a dynamic group of Charge Point Operators (CPOs).
As of early 2026, Malaysia’s EV charging landscape has developed into a competitive environment characterised by rapid deployment, infrastructure expansion, and technological innovation.
Recent performance data indicates that the top 10 CPOs expanded their combined charging infrastructure by 55.8% within the past 12 months, bringing the total to 3,894 charging points nationwide.
Leading CPOs and Growth Performance
The following rankings highlight the top 10 operators based on total charging points in 2025, alongside their growth compared with 2024.
ChargeSini (ChargeHere EV Solution Sdn Bhd):
Maintained its position as the largest charging network in Malaysia, reaching 1,110 charging points in 2025. The network recorded the largest absolute growth in the country, adding 376 new points (+51%) within the year.
JomCharge (EV Connection Sdn Bhd):
Expanded to 680 charging points in 2025, up from 476 in 2024, representing an increase of 204 points.
ChargeEV (Green EV Charge Sdn Bhd):
One of the fastest-growing networks, increasing from 196 to 501 points, representing a 155% expansion.
Gentari (Gentari Green Mobility Sdn Bhd):
Recorded steady growth, reaching 395 charging points, up from 324 in 2024.
Charge N Go (Charge N Go Sdn Bhd):
Nearly tripled its network size, expanding from 134 to 378 points, adding 244 chargers.
Shell Recharge (Pixelbyte Sdn Bhd):
Maintained a stable network with 194 charging points, adding one new charger over the year.
Tesla (Tesla Sdn Bhd):
Expanded its infrastructure to 185 points, up from 158 in 2024.
TNBX Electron (TNBX Sdn Bhd):
Achieved the highest percentage growth, expanding from 26 to 164 points, representing a 530% increase.
DC Handal (Handal Green Mobility Sdn Bhd):
Grew its network from 124 to 153 charging points.
Mercedes-Benz (Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Sdn Bhd):
Maintained 134 charging points, with no additional deployments during the same period.
The Agility Gap in Malaysia’s Charging Landscape
The 2025 data highlights what industry observers often refer to as an “Agility Gap” within Malaysia’s EV charging ecosystem.
While government-linked companies and utility-backed operators are expanding their networks, many private operators are moving quickly to secure locations, deploy chargers, and scale their infrastructure.
For example, ChargeSini added 376 chargers within a single year, reflecting the increasing demand for accessible charging infrastructure and the importance of rapid deployment capabilities.
Meanwhile, several operators are focusing heavily on DC fast charging networks, supporting drivers who rely on public infrastructure for long-distance travel.
The Financial Logic Driving Malaysia’s DC Surge (Total charging points obtained from approved EVCS by Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST).)
One of the most notable developments in recent data is the shift toward DC (Direct Current) fast charging.
1. The ROI Logic Behind DC Deployment
Many CPOs are prioritising DC installations because of their higher utilisation potential and improved return on investment (ROI).
AC Charging Limitations
Typical AC charging sessions can take five to eight hours, meaning a parking bay may remain occupied for much of the day.
DC Fast Charging Efficiency
DC fast chargers allow multiple vehicles to charge throughout the day, enabling operators to serve more drivers and maximise infrastructure usage.
2. National Targets vs Reality
Malaysia’s Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) set a national target of 10,000 public EV chargers by 2025.
While the total number of chargers continues to grow, the country has already achieved a significant milestone in DC fast charging deployment.
The Target
The original federal goal aimed to establish 1,500 DC fast chargers nationwide by 2025.
The Achievement
As of early 2026, Malaysia has successfully deployed more than 1,700 DC fast chargers, exceeding the target by over 13%.
The Implication
This milestone demonstrates how rapidly the country’s fast-charging infrastructure is expanding, enabling more reliable long-distance EV travel across Malaysia.
Critical Success Factors for 2026
Grid Readiness
Infrastructure growth depends heavily on grid readiness. The strong expansion of operators such as TNBX Electron indicates that power infrastructure upgrades are increasingly aligning with charger deployment.
Balancing AC and DC Infrastructure
While DC chargers improve network efficiency and turnover, AC charging remains important for residential, workplace, and long-duration parking locations.
As Malaysia’s EV ecosystem matures, the next phase of development is expected to focus on network reliability, interoperability, and seamless payment systems.
Malaysia’s EV charging network continues to expand rapidly, supported by a diverse group of operators working to improve accessibility across the country.
As infrastructure grows and technology evolves, the collaboration between public agencies, private operators, and industry partners will remain essential in supporting the country’s transition toward sustainable electric mobility.
