Charge+ raises $10.39m to boost EV charging infrastructure in SEA

The expansion will include Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

Electric vehicle charging operator Charge+ has raised $10.39m (US$8m) through a Series A funding round led by TRIVE Venture Capital, with TNB Aura that led the recent Series A2 round.

According to the company, the funds raised will support ongoing efforts to accelerate the expansion of its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure throughout Southeast Asia.

In Singapore, the company will fulfil an ongoing tender contract awarded by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) to provide approximately 4,000 EV charging points in the carparks of Housing & Development Board public housing.

Charge+ is also expanding its EV charging network across Southeast Asia, partnering with players in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Roaming agreements were signed with Malaysia's Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Thailand's Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, and Indonesia's PT PLN to allow Charge+ app users to access more charging stations.

"Since founding Charge+ in 2018, our vision has been to catalyze electric mobility adoption across Southeast Asia. The successful completion of Series A financing represents another exciting milestone in accelerating our growth across this region. We are therefore pleased to add TNB Aura as our new investor, after TRIVE as the lead investor in Series A," said Ong Tze Boon, chairman of Charge+.

Charge+ plans to install 30,000 EV chargers globally by 2030.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
