A Successful EV Charging Hong Kong Brand – Cornerstone Technologies is Now in Indonesia

Cornerstone Technologies has covered 7,800 Private Residential EV Charging Parking Spaces and over 1,500 Public EV Charging Parking Spaces, now expanding to Europe and Asia.

JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach – 3 October 2022 – Cornerstone Technologies, a leading innovator in EV Charging Total Solutions originated in Hong Kong, today announced its presence in Indonesia.

EV Charging Total Solution

Cornerstone Technologies has a strong in-house R&D team, developing one-stop EV charging solutions including award-winning chargers and software backend system to support the smooth running of the entire EV Charging System.

Cornerstone Technologies has both AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) chargers that are Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP)-compliant. With the connected platform, Charge Point Operators (CPO) and EV drivers can have access to real-time charging information and other access features to give them peace of mind and flexibility. Recently, Cornerstone Technologies is expanding beyond its home market, Hong Kong, and starting to tap into Switzerland, France, Spain, Bulgaria, Romania, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and now Indonesia.

The Chief Executive Officer of Cornerstone Technologies, Mr. Vincent Yip stated his confidence in making Cornerstone EV charger to be the no.1 EV Charging solution provider and the most trusted brand for EV owners in Asia. “Given the immense experience in EV Charging and established technology platform, we are excited about the opportunity in Asia, especially Indonesia.” Mr. Yip further commented.

Extensive Job References with Governments and Private Sectors

Cornerstone Technologies has become tier 1 EV charging total solution provider for the Government. Thousands of EV charging points have been deployed supported with sophisticated CPO system. There are many “first’ technological solutions that have been developed by Cornerstone Technologies, among others: Load Management System to enable more EV chargers to be installed without having to increase electricity load, Integrated Parking System, a cashless and contactless billing system that integrates parking and charging fees into one, EVCSS (Electric Vehicle Charger Smart System) to monitor 1,800 EV chargers under various brands spread across 70 government carparks. The partnership with one of the corporations in Cambodia is also underway, more details on the operation for this market will be released soon.

Besides deploying EV chargers at thousands of residential parking spaces, Cornerstone Technologies has supplied ultra-fast 200kW DC chargers to one of Asia’s biggest public bus operators, KMB (Kowloon Motor Bus) supported with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system to manage the fleet.

Charge Point Operation (CPO) System

The “Cornerstone Go” CPO system completes with a Central Management System for data monitoring and reporting, Load Management System to regulate the electricity load within one car park for efficiency usage of electricity, as well as Payment System and Mobile App for a remote start and stop charging. These are crucial features for a successful charge point operator to thrive in this business. The development of the “Cornerstone Go” CPO System is intricate, however; the concept for EV owners is simple: just “Go” charge anywhere.

Cornerstone Technologies and EVCM

Cornerstone Technologies is proud to announce that PT Electric Viva Cepat Maju (EVCM) has been appointed as the sole distributor throughout Indonesia. EVCM is fully geared up to be a trusted Charge Point Operator who is committed to serve EV owners in Indonesia starting from installation to after-sales-service. The President Director of EVCM, Mr. Satria Nugraha candidly admitted “We have been very impressed with Cornerstone Technologies who is so ready to tailor their EV chargers to meet the requirements from PLN. They have imparted a lot of EV charging knowledge to ensure we are fully equipped to serve the Indonesian market.”

The transition from conventional vehicles to Electric Vehicles is imminent, therefore; the development and deployment of EV chargers must be accelerated. Currently, there is a big shortage of EV chargers everywhere in the world, the growth of electric vehicle production outpaced EV chargers deployment.

With its up to 4% p.a. guaranteed crediting interest rate, it carries a cash value which will be used to offset the annual premium of the qualified AXA medical insurance policy associated with “MediEnhancer”, relieving the pressure of medical inflation for customers.

“MediEnhancer” offers two notional amount options[2]. Customers may choose a notional amount2 based on 3 times or 5 times the annual premium of the associated medical plan according to their financial planning needs. The cash value of “MediEnhancer” at its effective date will be equal to notional amount of “MediEnhancer”. After “MediEnhancer” becomes effective and more interest is accrued, the cash value of “MediEnhancer” will be used to pay for the annual premium of the associated medical plan on its next policy anniversary[3], saving customers the hassle of paying premiums of their plans. For customers prepaying a premium for the 2nd supplement year, their prepaid amount will be further entitled to guaranteed preferential interest at a rate of 4% p.a. for USD policies or 3.5% p.a. for HKD policies during the 1st supplement year.

According to the recent announcement of the Health Bureau, the number of Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS) policies has exceeded 1 million since its implementation[4] in 2019. About a quarter of VHIS policy holders[5] were AXA customers, demonstrating that AXA’s VHIS products are well received by the public.

Kevin Chor, Chief Life and Health Insurance Officer of AXA Hong Kong and Macau, said, “We are commited to listening to our customers and catering their needs. We understand that rising medical costs is their key consideration for renewing their medical insurance policies. With this in mind, we have designed ‘MediEnhancer’ to help customers cope with medical inflation by providing up to 4% p.a. guaranteed returns, and offering hospital income benefit for a maximum of 1,000 days[6] per confinement, aiming to reduce the inpatient medical expenses of our customers, and strive to be a solid backing for customers.”

For existing customers with designated AXA medical insurance plans who successfully apply for “MediEnhancer”, they will be entitled to a 2-month premium rebate for their existing policies[7].
