smart Malaysia has proudly announced the opening of two new dealerships in the East Coast and East Malaysia. The newly launched HK Electra – smart Kuantan in Pahang and Ghee Hua – smart Kuching in Sarawak mark significant milestones in the company’s commitment to providing greater access to premium electric vehicles (EVs). These dealerships will also feature the Proton e.MAS lineup, further advancing Malaysia’s transition to new energy vehicles (NEVs).
Zhang Qiang, Chief Executive Officer of smart Malaysia, highlighted the growing demand for premium EVs in the country, stating, “Our expansion into Kuantan and Kuching reflects the growing demand for premium EVs in Malaysia. Smart Malaysia is committed to making EV ownership more accessible through an expanded dealer network and enhanced customer experiences.”
With a total of 11 dealerships nationwide, smart Malaysia continues to lead the way in intelligent electric mobility. The addition of these two locations reinforces its commitment to driving EV adoption and supporting Malaysia’s shift to sustainable transportation.
Since its inception in 2007, HK Electra – smart Kuantan has evolved from a Proton 2S outlet into a full-fledged 4S center by 2018. Located strategically in Indera Mahkota, Kuantan, near PUSPAKOM, the 695m² showroom includes four display units and six EV chargers, two of which are 120kW DC fast chargers. With its strategic location and advanced facilities, the dealership serves as a key hub for EV owners on the East Coast.
HK Electra’s success is reflected in its remarkable growth, with sales increasing from 1,071 units in 2021 to 1,623 units in 2024 for Proton vehicles. The company has also garnered multiple accolades, such as the No. 1 Diamond Grand Award (2023 & 2024) and the Best CEO Award.
Ms. Susan Leong, Dealer Owner of HK Electra, expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “As a long-standing player in the automotive industry, we are proud to expand our portfolio with the smart brand and be at the forefront of Malaysia’s EV revolution.
