“At Blueshark, we have always believed that battery-swapping technology is key to accelerate EV motorcycle adoption in Malaysia. This expansion of Blueshark’s BlueStation battery swapping network widens our coverage of key central areas and enhances Blueshark’s offerings to as many riders as possible. With this milestone, we are answering the call for more BlueStations to finally realise the full potential of our R- series platform to make battery swapping convenience a reality for more riders throughout the Klang Valley, and there is much more to come," Jin Chan, Group COO (ASEAN), Blueshark Ecosystem Sdn Bhd said.
Plans are in place to expand the BlueStation network further. It started with even more locations throughout the Klang Valley and eventually, to various outstation locations including Johor and Penang. The targeted 50 BlueStations installed throughout the country by end of 2024.

“Supported by our end-to-end ecosystem and with greater efficiency, lower energy costs and fewer moving parts on our R1, we can help accelerate EV adoption while reducing emissions. This is truly the best time to consider switching to electric motorcycles, with the expansion of Blueshark’s battery swapping network, coupled with the ongoing MARiiCas RM2,400 EV motorcycle rebate and Blueshark’s Hari Raya offers and other promotions, electromobility has never been more stylish, affordable, or convenient,” Jin continued.
Blueshark’s R1 smart electric scooters have access to Malaysia’s first commercially available battery swap infrastructure. They are also able to recharge from any standard wall socket. Simply remove the batteries and charge them via the home charging kit. This is especially useful if access to a wall socket is not immediately available or if one resides in a high-rise building.
