News release

Yinson GreenTech (“YGT”), through its joint venture company Green EV Charge Sdn Bhd, and Starbucks Malaysia have launched the first phase of EV-friendly stores, with the rollout of chargEV chargers at 17 Starbucks stores nationwide.

Under the first phase, 23 charging stations have been installed in Klang Valley, Penang, Malacca and Johor.

A launch ceremony to celebrate the rollout was held at Starbucks Eco Grandeur Drive-Thru at Bandar Puncak Alam. During the event, which was witnessed by management from both companies and members of the media, the parties exchanged a site agreement outlining their commitment to continue exploring suitable locations for further rollout of EV-friendly stores. Attendees also had the opportunity to ride on YGT’s EV and experience a seamless charging experience with chargEV.

The agreement outlines Starbuck’s exclusive partnership with YGT to install and operate a mix of AC and DC charging points at Starbucks stores nationwide. The suitability and allocation of the stores’ parking bays for the installation of chargEV shall be determined by both YGT and Starbucks.

Yinson Executive Vice President of Technology and New Ventures Eirik Barclay said that the partnership aligned perfectly with YGT’s aim of expanding EV infrastructure coverage strategically, whilst helping businesses achieve their own net zero ambitions. “One of the main challenges to EV adoption is range anxiety. To overcome this, we aim to place charge points in as many strategic locations as possible, and where charging integrates seamlessly into regular routines – whether you’re doing a grocery run, having a meal, stopping to stretch your legs on the highway or, in this case, grabbing your usual morning coffee. Achieving this would not be possible without likeminded businesses, such as Starbucks, working with us to provide strategic sites and a customer base. Together, we can strengthen the country’s EV infrastructure to encourage a greener transportation system in Malaysia.”

Yinson Senior Vice President of Electromobility Ruslin Tamsir said, “We are delighted to support Starbuck’s ambition of innovating with more responsible stores by providing chargEV solutions to their stores, and we are jointly committed to rolling out even more charge points over the next few years. The chargEV team warmly welcomes other likeminded businesses to engage with us to find out about our integrated EV solutions and how they, too, can participate in Malaysia’s EV transition.”
