Kelle Energy launches Malaysia’s first BESS mobile EV chargers – 60 kW DC, solution to charging queues?

Singapore-based Kelle Energy has launched Malaysia’s first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) mobile EV chargers. These wheeled powerbanks have a 184 kWh BESS, are capable of 60 kW DC charging, can juice up multiple EVs and are positioned as a quick, cost-effective and grid-independent alternative to permanent charging infrastructure. A solution to highway charging queues?

The company has also signed two MoUs – the first with Gotion High-Tech (Gotion) subsidiary Anhui Yijianeng Digital Technology (AYDT) to support strategic investment and business development initiatives for mobile energy solutions and BESS applications in the region, and the second with both AYDT and EV Connection (EVC) to deploy and expand mobile EV charging solutions across Malaysia.

The parties will also “work together to introduce scalable, user-centric mobile EV charging services tailored to Malaysia’s urban centres, commercial facilities, fleet operators and emerging EV demand corridors.”

Kelle Energy’s mobile EV charger technology partner is Gotion, a Chinese battery maker part-owned by the Volkswagen Group. It was recently reported that the Johor government is finalising discussions with Gotion to set up an EV battery manufacturing facility in the state.
