Emergency charging service rangers are also available in the Klang Valley.

Allianz General Insurance Company (Malaysia) Berhad (Allianz General) introduced a new insurance coverage for electric cars under the Private Car Comprehensive policy. 

The Allianz EV Shield includes industry-first coverage for on-the-go charging, addressing concerns of EV owners facing battery depletion.

The Allianz EV Rangers, a pioneering service operating in the Klang Valley, offers on-the-spot charging to cover the range to the nearest charging facility. 

“For example, if you are out of battery on the way to catch a flight, our Allianz EV Rangers will zip to you, charge your EV battery enough and set you on your way.” Allianz Malaysia CEO Sean Wang commented.
