Smart Malaysia has introduced a customer loyalty programme powered by the Geno W3-D2C blockchain system (Web3 Direct-to-Customer) to enhance the customer experience.
The programme provides a transparent ecosystem that allows customers to earn exciting rewards through everyday activities such as social interactions, making referrals, and driving.
By participating in these daily activities, customers can accumulate smart Points, a form of reward points that never expire and are secured on blockchain-based smart contracts.
There are three main ways to earn points: Social-to-Earn, Referral-to-Earn, and Drive-to-Earn. Below are the reward points available for each activity or task completed:
Using the Hello smart app, customers can redeem their accumulated points for various exclusive rewards such as EV charging credits and official Smart merchandise.
According to the company, the charging redemption offers significant value, providing electric vehicle owners with cost-effective ways to recharge, thereby enhancing the overall driving experience.
“At Smart Malaysia, we believe customer loyalty goes beyond traditional rewards programmes. Our new loyalty initiative is designed to create meaningful connections with our customers and recognise their engagement with the brand,” said Zhang Qiang, CEO of PRO-NET.
PRO-NET and EV Connection (EVC), operator of the Electric Vehicle (EV) charging network JomCharge, today jointly launched the ‘PRONET-EVC Condominium EV Charging Infrastructure Programme’.
Under this programme, EVC will allocate funds for the installation of EV chargers at 100 condominiums that currently do not have any EV charging facilities.
Both parties will also work together to ensure competitive charging rates at around 70 condominiums already on the JomCharge network.
This marks an expansion of the existing collaboration between PRO-NET and EVC, which currently manages the supply, installation, operation, and maintenance of home wall chargers for smart owners—having completed more than 400 installations to date.
Additionally, EVC’s JomCharge is integrated into PRO-NET’s charging network, featuring around 600 charging points and facilitating 2,000 charging sessions since the launch of smart vehicles.
Both parties also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today with regards to this programme, which has two main aims – first to ensure the availability of EV chargers at high-rise buildings and second to ensure the affordability of EV charging at these high-rise buildings in Malaysia.
The former is, of course, in line with supporting the government’s initiative to enhance the EV charging infrastructure in Malaysia and to achieve 10,000 charging points by the end of 2025.
The latter, bearing in mind that around 70% of Klang Valley citizens live in high-rise buildings, is to ensure that this group of people have access to EV charging at an affordable rate, which would in turn further catalyse EV adoption.
With regards to condominiums which currently do not have any EV charging facility, they can submit their interest to install these free EV chargers through the EVC website – this application will then be jointly assessed by EVC & PRO-NET.
Successful applicants will be eligible for a free package that includes EV chargers, infrastructure work required to set the chargers up, compliance costs, charger management system and porting onto the JomCharge network.
In fact, the condominium will also be eligible for a profit/revenue sharing mechanism via this programme. Charging rates are set at a very competitive RM 0.70 / kWh for these condominiums.
In terms of pricing for the aforementioned new condominiums and also for existing condominiums already on the JomCharge network, Proton e.MAS 7 users will get to enjoy an additional 10% off the prevailing charging rates from January 2025 onwards. This translates to a highly competitive rate of RM 0.63/kWh – nearly as affordable as the TNB residential tariff for landed property owners.
Similarly, users at existing condominiums with time-based charging rates will also benefit from this discount.
Smart Malaysia has announced that the smart #3 electric crossover has been awarded the title of Best Compact Premium EV at the 2024 Car of the Year (COTY) Awards organized by Carlist.my and Wapcar.
According to Zhang Qiang, the Chief Executive Officer of PRO-NET, “This award is a testament to our strong commitment to delivering an exceptional fully electric crossover experience for our customers.”
“The smart #3 has received an outstanding reception among Malaysians, and we are very grateful to the judges and the smart supporters for this recognition,” he further explained.
Officially launched in the middle of last year, the smart #3 is available in three main variants: Pro, Premium, and the sportier Brabus version.
The Pro and Premium variants are powered by a single rear-wheel-drive electric motor delivering 272 hp and 343 Nm of torque, while the Brabus variant features an additional electric motor on the front axle, bringing the total power output to 428 hp and 543 Nm.
As standard, the smart #3 offers a driving range of 455 km, or 415 km for the Brabus variant.
The smart #3 is priced from RM175,000 to RM255,000.
