Tenaga Nasional (TNB) plans to install up to 100 new charging stations for electric (and plug-in hybrid vehicles), which will have an investment value of RM1.5 million, as reported by Bernama.
The company aims to deploys these chargers by the end of the year, and will do so through its wholly-owned subsidiary TNB Energy Services (TNBES) as well as partner Malaysian Green Technology Corporation (MGTC).
According to TNBES managing director Ahmad Jaafar Abd Hamid, 14 new ChargEV stations have installed to date, with another 35 potential sites pending the approval to proceed by the premises’ owners. Referring to ChargEV’s official website, there are currently 271 public EV charging stations spread across 195 locations in Malaysia.
“TNBES and MGTC are aggressively pursuing major parking operators, mall owners and hotel chains to extend the ChargEV station network in major cities in Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru,” said Ahmad Jaafar at the 10th International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibitions & Conference Malaysia (IGEM 2019) recently.
He added that TNBES is currently finalising the second phase of its collaboration with MGTC by forming a special-purpose vehicle company – Tenaga E Mobility Solutions – to expand the potential of the EV charging business and other businesses related to smart mobility in the country.

Gudjob TNB! Gud for my 530e :))
So many hybrid/ev buyers are in it for the “save oil” and not for greener planet. For them, reducing petrol bill is money in the pocket.
Little do they care about the harmful effects of battery production, from the strip mining, to transport to Japan for refining and manufacturing, to the safe disposal of these highly toxic batteries.
Best of all, TNB main source of electricity generation is COAL and gas. Only a small percentage are hydro electric and solar. Yes, COAL is burn to generate your “green” electricity. But most Boleh-Landers just care about save oil. Satu lagi mentality bawah tempurung.
but the benefits of carbon-free vehicles by the number of millions still offset the setback caused by its production shortcomings
By reducing car depending on fuel.. tnb can use that to generate electric… Less people use fuel… The lower price will go down…
More importantly, siapa bayar and siapa akan pakai?

Obviously its the rich people who owns PHEV. Someone had promised Kenari hybrid but until now that janji is like some manifesto, all fakes.
