BYD and Gentari sign MoU to deploy Flash Charging technology in Malaysia
PETRONAS-owned Gentari and BYD Malaysia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore deploying BYD's Flash Charging infrastructure in Malaysia. The technology can deliver approximately 400 kilometres of range in five minutes and charge from 10% to 97% in nine minutes for compatible vehicles. Malaysia recorded 53,537 EV registrations in the first nine months of 2026, a 98.8% increase year on year, while the government targets 30,000 public charging points nationwide by 2030.
Why it matters
The MoU brings ultra-fast charging hardware to a market where Gentari already operates around 600 of its 18,000 APAC charging points, positioning both parties to capture share as Malaysia scales towards its 2030 infrastructure goal. BYD's rollout pace in China, where 10,000 Flash Charging stations were live by September 2026 with more than 30 hubs installed daily, signals potential deployment speed for Malaysian CPOs and site hosts.
