COMOS EV Car Roadshow @ The Curve Shopping Mall: Malaysia's First EV Car Sharing Programme


The electric car market in Malaysia remains a niche market and COMOS is hoping to change that. Cohesive Mobility Service or COMOS for short is offering an EV car sharing programme which is set to be launched next month but until then registrations and bookings of its services are open to the public. COMOS is also giving unlimited usage of its EV car fleet to 100 lucky members from its date of launch in October till the end of this year. It's not only about private customers as COMOS also offers a corporate package to customers which includes unlimited mileage, periodical maintenance and a wall mounted charger at the customers location as well.

There are three electric car models to be leased or rented out for public use which are the 
Renult Twizzy, Renault Zoe and the Nissan Leaf. As of today 46 Renault Zoe's have arrived in Malaysia along with 30 Renault Twizzy's which are set to arrive later this year in November. However, the Nissan Leaf will only be open for rental or lease in 2015.

How It Works...

  1. Head to a COMOS kiosk or head online to their website to register.
  2. Log in and make reservations for the car and a COMOS Green Parking Spot located around the city. 
  3. Unlock your COMOS car using your unique COMOS card  and then key in your pin code and drive.
  4. You are able to return your COMOS car to any available COMOS station available around town. Sign out by placing your COMOS access card on the COMOS reader and you will be charged according to your period of usage. 

Savings...

COMOS has released tentative pricing of its membership fees to the media. Fees start at RM20 - RM25 an hour, RM50 monthly or RM300 annually. COMOS claims that over the period of three years the Renault Zoe against the Honda Civic could offer savings of up to RM30,000 and the Nissan leaf would be able to offer savings of up to RM33,000 against the Honda Accord.
