What happened
JomCharge (operated by EV Connection Sdn Bhd) signed an MoU with Worldwide Holdings Berhad, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PKNS, to deploy at least 1,000 EV charging stations across Selangor within 24 months. WHB will act as the state's strategic programme manager coordinating the rollout, part of Selangor's target of 4,000 charging stations by 2030 under the Selangor Agenda for Green Economy (SAGE). The document exchange happened on 14 October 2026 at the opening of Selangor International Business Summit 2026 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
Why it matters
This is an MoU, not a funded contract — no capex figure, no site list, no confirmed timeline beyond 'within 24 months'. Builders should treat it as a demand signal rather than a customer: 1,000 charge points implies software for charge point management, OCPP integration, roaming between CPOs, and in-app payments, which is where Malaysian dev teams and SaaS founders can realistically attach. If you're pitching into EV infrastructure, the actionable step is to reach EV Connection or WHB now while the rollout is still being scoped, not after stations ship.
Discussion angle
Selangor wants 4,000 charge points by 2030 and this MoU covers 1,000 of them — what software layer (OCPP backends, roaming/payment APIs, driver apps) is still unclaimed, and does an MoU-stage deal give local builders a realistic entry point or just a press release?
