Setel might be adding payment for EV charging to it’s ever expanding app functionality. A preview was posted on social media today – something electrifying is coming, reads the teaser on the Facebook post by Setel.
The latest version of the app that was released this week has already added a search and filter function to it’s map. You can currently use it to filter locations that support Setel based on a few filters such as fuel type.
This is already immediately pretty useful – diesel vehicle owners can now easily filter stations that offer Euro 5 B7 for example, if he prefers that over Euro 5 B10. It would be easy for Setel to add EV chargers as one of the filters in this list.
The Setel app was launched by Petronas late 2018, kicking off with being available at more than 40 stations across the Klang Valley at launch, then extending its reach to becoming available nationwide at over 700 stations by February 2020.
Today, you can also use Setel as an SetelPay e-wallet to make payments at non-Petronas merchants, pay for parking at Suria KLCC using Automatic Number Plate Recognition, buy motor insurance from AXA and send parcels via Setel Express.

Some Petronas Station has PayWave @ the pump itself,
This is most convenient, 1 tap.
Don’t need multiple tap through the apps from smartphone/smart watch.
Good if TNG Ewallet has pay function for EV charging too. We can use credit card to top up credit into TNG and use their services, that way we can earn bonus points from the credit card and TNG!
tng’s fuel payment partner is shell, using rfid. but shell recharge decided to use some weird parkeasy system instead. shell recharge should use tng!
Well cuz EV charging at Shell is not run by Shell Malaysia but thru another party which prefers parkeasy.
really? who is the another party?
Because archaic law doesn’t allow shell to sell electricity directly to customers. High current dc chargers require expensive equipment too.
Tnb could easily done it themselves but don’t. They own multiple substations which could convert their entrances into charging lots. Safety in case of fire? Cars park in front of their substation entrances anyway.
If TNB does it it will be coming from taxpayers monies, that mean you & me. For such high investment cost with super low initial uptake TNB will have to raise the electricity tariff rate to compensate. You want that? Or do you prefer the current private sector led manner in setting these up?
Look at caltex go… hmmmm.
