    Bateriku.com Teams Up with RYDE EV to Accelerate Malaysia’s EV Ecosystem and Gig Workforce

    Bateriku.com and RYDE EV Join Forces to Accelerate Electric Mobility and Empower the Gig Economy in Malaysia. In a groundbreaking move set to redefine Malaysia’s electric mobility landscape, Bateriku.com, the country’s leading vehicle support ecosystem, has announced a strategic partnership with RYDE EV, a rising force in electric vehicle (EV) technology. The collaboration was launched at the Bateriku Pitstop in Cheras, and is poised to revolutionize sustainable transportation by introducing cutting-edge EV infrastructure and services while creating new economic opportunities for local communities.

    At the heart of the initiative is the rollout of EV Swap Stations and ICE-to-EV conversion services, reflecting a bold commitment to making electric mobility more practical, scalable, and inclusive. The EV Swap Stations will be established at 10 Bateriku Pitstop locations across the Klang Valley, allowing EV users to quickly and conveniently replace depleted batteries — drastically reducing downtime. This offering is further strengthened by training programs, ensuring that users and technicians alike can effectively operate and maintain the technology.

    Additionally, the partnership will promote affordable conversion of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles into EVs — offering Malaysians a cost-effective way to transition toward cleaner transport. These innovations are supported by Bateriku.com’s BHero gig economy model, which mobilizes a trained network of mobile technicians and micro-entrepreneurs to deliver EV-related services across the nation. This model not only enhances service accessibility but also empowers individuals with new income opportunities and fosters digital entrepreneurship.

    Rooted in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, the partnership prioritizes environmental responsibility and inclusive growth. The initiative includes environmentally sound battery lifecycle management, with efforts to recondition and repurpose used batteries where possible, and ethically dispose of unusable batteries through certified Department of Environment (DOE) channels.

    Mr. Azarol Faizi, CEO of Bateriku.com, highlighted the impact of the partnership:
    “Our collaboration with RYDE EV marks a bold step toward building a smarter, greener future. We’re not just supporting Malaysia’s EV ecosystem — we’re creating jobs, nurturing entrepreneurs, and making meaningful contributions to our national sustainability goals.”

    Mr. Syed Ahmad Faiz, CEO of RYDE EV, echoed this vision:
    “This partnership allows us to bring EV technology to the grassroots level. From quick-swap stations to converting petrol cars into clean EVs, it’s about making sustainable mobility truly accessible — a future that all Malaysians can drive toward.”

    The initiative is a critical milestone in Malaysia’s journey toward green transportation, especially as demand for smart, sustainable mobility solutions continues to grow. By combining Bateriku.com’s nationwide reach and established gig economy model with RYDE EV’s technical innovation, the partnership creates a powerful ecosystem where EV adoption, grassroots entrepreneurship, and environmental stewardship thrive together.

    Established in 2014, Bateriku.com has evolved from an on-demand battery replacement service into a fully integrated mobility ecosystem. With over 200 Pitstops nationwide, more than 1.5 million customers served, and a regional footprint that includes Indonesia, the company continues to lead innovation in the automotive services space. Through its Akademi Bateriku, the company also invests in training for both internal staff and external partners, ensuring high service standards and a skilled workforce.

    As Malaysia advances its Smart City and sustainability goals, this partnership between Bateriku.com and RYDE EV exemplifies how public-private collaboration and innovation can drive a cleaner, smarter, and more inclusive future for all.
