Setel now lets EV users set EV Chargers as default ‘fuelling’ option
KUALA LUMPUR, April 5 — Setel has introduced a new vehicle profile feature which allows users to put EV charging front and centre of its app. In case you didn’t know, the Setel app can be used to activate and pay for EV Chargers under the Gentari network. Previously, you’ll have to use the Search function to locate and activate an EV charger near you.
Customise your Setel experience according to the vehicle type you own
With the new vehicle profile feature, you can customise your Setel experience according to the vehicle type that you own. When an EV is selected, the default map will now show the nearest EV Charger near you. If you’ve selected a vehicle that uses petrol or diesel, it will show your nearest Petronas petrol station instead.
