A NEW cross-border electric vehicle (EV) charging service, Go by City Energy, will offer cross-border operational services between Singapore and Malaysia that can be tapped on with the Go mobile application.

It will see a S$100 million investment, with charging points in private residential and commercial sites by 2030, piped town gas provider City Energy announced during Go's launch on Tuesday (Apr 19). "Go is the first operator to offer a seamless cross-border EV charging connectivity into Malaysia. With the opening of Singapore-Malaysia land borders, EV owners wishing to drive to Malaysia will be able to do so, eradicating the issue of range anxiety," said Perry Ong, chief executive of City Energy.

During the launch, Go signed an agreement with Malaysian company EV Connection, formalising its strategic partnership. This allows EV drivers to access the charging services on both sides of the causeway as well as the 13 charger locations on the North-South Highway in Malaysia from Apr 19.
