Insider’s Tip – Customisation to meet your needs

As a network operator, setting up your own EV charging network brings up several questions – who will use your network, what charging socket and charging power to provide, where to install the charging point and how the charging point should look. The key in all of this is to find a charging solution that can be easily customised to meet your requirements in a cost-effective manner.

Some recent examples of how Greenlots can help you achieve all of this are in the images below.

Proton collaborates with Greenlots on Malaysia’s first smart charging infrastructure for electric vehicles

SINGAPORE, October 17, 2011 – Proton Holdings Berhad recently launched a landmark electric vehicle trial in collaboration with Greenlots, a leading global provider of charging solutions for electric vehicles (EVs). Last month, Dato’ Sri Haji Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir, Group Managing Director of Proton Holdings Berhad handed over to the Malaysian Government eight Exora Range Extender Electric Vehicles (REEV) and Saga Electric Vehicles (EV) along with the first batch of Greenlots charging stations at Malaysia’s administrative capital, Putrajaya.

“Proton will be able to collect data and manage their charging stations remotely with a networked charging system. This gives valuable information not only on the technical performance of the car, but insight to user behavior as well,” explained Ron Mahabir, Director of Greenlots. Proton plans to use this test to prepare for a commercial rollout of electric vehicles in 2013.
