Since its establishment in 2020, MNL Solutions Pte Ltd has emerged as a leading player in Singapore’s EV charging solutions sector. Spearheaded by founders Mr Sathiyamoorthy Nagarajan and Mr Lai, MNL Solutions is redefining the way Singaporeans adopt sustainable mobility by capitalizing on the country’s Green Plan and a growing demand for electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure.
The story of MNL Solutions began with the founders’ electrical engineering expertise and their ability to identify opportunities in the nascent EV charging space. With Singapore’s Green Plan aiming to install 60,000 charging points nationwide, the duo saw potential to play a pivotal role in this transformative initiative. Within just five years, MNL Solutions has developed over 600 charging points across Singapore, focusing predominantly on condominiums—a decision rooted in their understanding of customer convenience and infrastructure optimization.
The company’s distinctive approach to EV charging at residential complexes stems from their belief in providing maximum accessibility. Their Their approach is designed with the user in mind, offering an intuitive interface that makes charging hassle-free, while maximizing efficiency to ensure a reliable and eco-friendly charging experience, a game-changing feature for EV owners who benefit from the convenience of charging at home. Leveraging the unique infrastructure of condominiums has enabled MNL Solutions to build faster and better charging systems tailored to local needs.
The journey wasn’t without obstacles. EV charging was still a novel concept when MNL Solutions launched. Regulations were in their infancy, and understanding the complexities of EV technology posed initial hurdles. However, the founders’ determination to learn and build strategic partnerships with facilities management companies proved instrumental. These connections not only facilitated smoother project execution but also established MNL Solutions as a trusted partner in the industry.
By continually adapting to changing regulations from Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) and staying ahead of technological trends, the company has positioned itself as a frontrunner in sustainable transport solutions.
At its core, MNL Solutions operates with a clear mission: to drive the achievement of net-zero transport utility and become the go-to provider for EV charging solutions. The company envisions expanding its footprint, both locally and regionally, over the next five years. With plans to strengthen its presence in commercial spaces such as hotels and office buildings and to establish a support network extending to Malaysia and Thailand, MNL Solutions is poised for regional growth.
A key milestone for the company was securing the LTA’s EV charge point operator license in December 2024. This achievement not only solidifies their credibility but also opens doors for further collaboration and innovation. Additionally, their exclusive partnership with Schneider Electric, a globally recognized leader in energy management, guarantees that their charging solutions are of the highest quality.
Innovation is at the heart of MNL Solutions’ operations. The company prides itself on customizing solutions for individual condominiums and offering scalable, seamless integration of charging infrastructure. Their proprietary app and backend support ensure that customers receive exceptional aftercare, further strengthening their brand’s reputation.
The company’s internal culture reflects its commitment to excellence. With open communication, regular quality assurance, and a focus on empowering employees of all ages to lead projects, MNL Solutions has cultivated an environment where creativity and teamwork thrive. Weekly meetings and an openness to feedback ensure that the team remains agile and aligned with company objectives.
MNL Solutions’ contributions to sustainability extend beyond its core business. By providing EV charging infrastructure, the company is directly facilitating Singapore’s transition to cleaner, greener transport. They also aim to broaden their reach within the community, reflecting a strong sense of corporate responsibility.
The founders attribute their success to their team’s dedication, their own engineering and IT backgrounds, and the invaluable partnerships they’ve fostered. “Seeing our users return to MNL not just for EV charging points but for other EV-related services inspires us to keep pushing forward,” they shared during a recent interview.
As EV adoption grows, MNL Solutions is well-positioned to remain at the forefront of this exciting shift. Their immediate goals include expanding their network of charging points and offering innovative features to further enhance the customer experience. With their eyes set on regional markets, they are actively exploring franchise opportunities overseas, underscoring their ambition to become a global leader in the EV space.
MNL Solutions Pte Ltd is more than a business—it’s a vision for a sustainable future. By blending innovation, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to excellence, the company is setting new standards in the EV charging industry. As Singapore progresses toward its green goals, MNL Solutions will undoubtedly remain a key player in driving the nation’s sustainable transformation.
With an inspiring origin story and a relentless pursuit of growth and innovation, MNL Solutions stands as a beacon of what is possible when passion meets opportunity.
