    CARSOME Strengthens After-Sales Offerings via Strategic Partnership with BATERIKU

    CARSOME Strengthens After-Sales Ecosystem Through Strategic Partnership with BATERIKU. CARSOME, Southeast Asia’s largest integrated car e-commerce platform, has entered into a strategic partnership with BATERIKU, Malaysia’s leading on-demand Connected Roadside Assistance provider and official supplier of SIRIM-certified ASTRA batteries. This collaboration is part of CARSOME’s continued commitment to enhancing its automotive ecosystem by offering greater convenience and comprehensive after-sales support to customers through integrated battery services.

    As part of this partnership, CARSOME customers can now access BATERIKU’s on-demand battery replacement services directly through the CARSOME app and website, simplifying the process of getting reliable battery support whenever needed. To mark the launch, CARSOME customers will receive RM50 off their next on-site battery replacement with the use of the promo code CARSOME50 (terms and conditions apply).

    The collaboration also expands CARSOME’s physical presence through BATERIKU’s nationwide network of over 220 Pitstop outlets, which will now function as additional CARSOME customer access points. These locations will offer services such as AI-powered car valuation, booking inspections, car selling, and vehicle purchases—bringing CARSOME’s digital platform closer to local communities across Malaysia.

    In addition, BATERIKU’s proprietary ASTRA batteries will be used during the refurbishment process of vehicles at the CARSOME Certified Lab, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to quality assurance before each vehicle is delivered to customers. With a proven track record of over 500,000 units sold and a warranty claim rate of less than 0.5%, ASTRA batteries offer reliability and peace of mind, backed by SIRIM certification and nationwide support.

    “Our mission at CARSOME has always been to make car ownership more transparent, convenient, and reliable. By partnering with BATERIKU, we’re strengthening our promise to deliver a seamless and trusted experience for our customers—from vehicle inspection and refurbishment to after-sales support,” said Eric Chan, President and Chief Operating Officer of CARSOME Group. “With BATERIKU’s nationwide reach and service excellence, we are ensuring that CARSOME customers can drive with confidence knowing that help is always nearby.”

    Azarol Faizi, CEO of Bateriku.com, echoed this sentiment, stating, “ASTRA isn’t just a battery—it’s a promise of quality and support. Our collaboration with CARSOME reflects our shared vision of advancing automotive mobility in Malaysia by combining trusted products with accessible, data-driven services. Together, we’re raising the bar for vehicle ownership in the region.”

    This partnership not only reinforces CARSOME’s strategy to build an end-to-end automotive ecosystem but also highlights a shared ambition between both companies to continuously improve the vehicle ownership journey. By integrating digital innovation with nationwide operational strength, CARSOME and BATERIKU are poised to redefine the automotive experience for Malaysian consumers.

    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.
