GoEV is the start of electric vehicle subscription and sharing

KUALA LUMPUR: From sharing a car with hourly and daily access from GoCar, to a vehicle subscription plan that offers wide-range of models (including Renault and Nissan vehicles), with the flexibility to SWAP for another vehicle when needed, this has been the business success formula for GoCar from the start.

Subscription has proven to be the flexible solution for some Malaysians who are looking for an alternative to purchasing and owning a car in recent years and so the GoCar service has been offering ‘mobility-as-a-service’ using technology.

Today, the GoCar business has a fleet of over 1,000 cars and rising and they are now scaling their business with this new range of offerings starting with electric mobility. Yes, the Nissan Leaf EV has come into service.

Why Nissan Leaf?

Launched this week, the GoEV programme starts immediately for Klang Valley residents with a fleet of 25 units of the latest generation fully electric powered Nissan Leaf for sharing and or subscription.

The new e-powertrain in this global best selling Nissan LEAF generates maximum power of 150PS and 320Nm of torque providing instant acceleration time from 0-100km/h in just 7.9 seconds and returning a top speed of 155km/h (which is electronically limited).

Additionally, the Nissan LEAF’s battery pack sits low in the chassis for a lower centre of gravity that allows better road-hugging handling and stability at greater cornering speeds, making this new generation of the world’s most popular electric vehicle extremely fun to drive.

Where Can You Access The Leaf EV?

There are already three EV car sharing zones up and running at strategic locations for easy public access, namely, the GoCar Malaysia Petaling Jaya hub, MyTown Cheras and Avenue K in KL City Centre. GoCar is targeting to set up a total of 10 GoEV zones by the end of this year.

How Do You Get Started With GoEV?

Through the seamless GoCar mobile app, users can sign-up for an account, upload the necessary documents, check for vehicle availability, place their bookings for sharing or subscription, make the necessary payments, as well as lock and unlock the car.

No pre-booking is needed although there will be a refundable security deposit for the subscription plan. Good sharing etiquette is strongly encouraged and GoEV car sharing customers should ensure that the charging cable is plugged in and the car is clean upon returning it.
