Petronas subsidiary Gentari launched this dedicated EV charging hub at X Park Sunway Serene in November 2022 featuring South East Asia’s very first 350 kW DC fast charger as well as a 180 kW DC charger, allowing up to 4 EVs to be charged at once, it seems only to be used as a parking lot for internal combustion engine cars.
Seen here from a posting in the Malaysian Electric Vehicle Owners Club Facebook Group is a Honda Civic and a Mercedes-Benz GLA whose owners decided to park their cars at the Gentari EV charging hub. The GLA in particular was parked in one of the 180 kW DC charger’s bays.
As a result, this Ora Good Cat owner who wanted to use the 180 kW charger at a cost of RM1 per kWh was forced to use the 350 kW charger at a higher cost of RM1.20 per kWh.
Other than an unnecessary 20% higher cost for the Ora Good Cat owner because his EV cannot take advantage of the more powerful charger, this act of either selfishness or ignorance also deprives Gentari, which is a private business investing in the business of EV charging, of potential revenue.
This act is called ICEing, where an ICE (internal combustion engine) car decides to use an EV charging bay as a parking lot. The Gentari EV charging hub is actually at a corner of the premise, located the furthest away from The Paddock F&B area, but for whatever reason these cars decided to ICE the lots anyway.
Even a traffic cone and clear marking on the parking lot that says EV Only with the icon of a charger could not discourage them. Perhaps all EV charging bays need to implement an automatic barrier like ParkEasy for these situations to be prevented.

tak mustahil di Malaysia, parking space for family+baby pun dirembat,OKU pun sama, apatah lagi untuk EV.asal ada roof, siapa dulu dia menang. Bingai
errrr malam kot, nape sangap sgt dgn bumbung tu
tar nampak basah, hujan barangkali.
Ini namanya mengambil kesempatan. Ada ubi ada batas. Ada budi ada balas.
nk dekat dengan entrance
hahaahahaha trash who cannot even afford the latest generation of their car models hahahahhahaha
just screen those two car registration plates find out the owner(s) shame them on all social media platforms ok
Buat law baru utk saman conventional car yg parking di tempat EV, sama jugak utk yg parking di tempat OKU tapi bukan OKU. Depa yg bingai ni pun kira OKU jugak. Kategori cacat penglihatan. Bodoh piang…..
Itu OtakKurangUpaya punya worang
Tow terus buang kete tu dalam longkang
Lock these cars with fine 1000!
Put a notice stated, ICE cars will be impound for 1k. If you don’t see your car, please call xxxx.
I know some ICE owner will pay even with ParkEasy just to park simply because they can afford it.
That is fine because ParkEasy allows it.
Need to gazette new law allowing EV station operators to clamp legally and fine heavy amount to discourage people from doing nonsense like this. Unfortunately our society lacks common sense and can only think in terms of $$$.
Pharkers
kesian geng ron95 ni, otak takde, sampai mampus kena hadap kete second rege bawah rm200k je
Salah driver parking situ. Tapi yang disalahkan kereta second bawah RM200k. Lol
buruk civic tu… mcm compensating for something small
deal dgn majlis perbandaran.. tow je kereta yang buat semak macam ni.. denda + caj tow + caj depot..
Kasi calar saje kereta…hahaha
Cheap version A-class Mercedes and cheap crappy ricer Honda civic,even the real rich luxury&performance car owner don’t do this shit.
Even certain myvi owner don’t do this.
even 80’s saga owners will not doing this shit
Scratch those cars!
Smash their windows, burst their tires and stick a note.. ICE not welcome
Lain kali kena bawa power bank sendiri@genarator bg cas
Lain kali bawa otak utk faham ini tempat cas EV. Hak orang lain jangan ambil.
Tak sangka susah jugak nak baca article ni… dh terang2 dia cakap “EV Charging Pot”… jgn memperbodohkan diri sendiri boleh tak
Mgt to clamp if not EV but parked there…
Electrify those non EV…kasi syiok sikit…
Unfortunately you can’t fix stup*d
I think someone need to buy the clamp rm100-200 then throw away the key baru padan muka these people who park at EV charging place
A chain and a lock doesn’t cost a lot. Chain the wheels and throw the keys into a river. They drive away immediately will damage their own ICE. They wait for help to arrive will waste their time. Park until next morning for Gentari management to tow away.
Senang je. Make it a spot that if an ICE car parks there, they will be fined. Traffic police should be given the authority to issue summons, those private properties one should start to clamp these vehicles.
If no proper excuse provided, fines should be paid in full. Unless OKU cars then no choice, but ICE cars with normal drivers, all fined.
Chill, it just shows how truely dumb they are i mean sure they are genuises at “business” but shows a lot how shallow of their mannerism and standards are..use such great vehicles with such small brain.
Stupidity is a gifted
Buy 4d member
These anti-ghey activists are going too far
Just put up a signboard informing of charge station , & clamp the bloody idiots that park there
Malaysian will be like “alah, kejap je. buang ada orang guna pun”
There was a BEV user there who had a word with the Civic. driver only to get a lashing. Don’t they realise how bad this looks to the world, how it betrays a country’s image this happens all the time when it rarely happens in other countries. Incidentally it’s why I have a BEV in my overseas home but not here in my home country.
Just FINE those idiots or locked their wheels or tow them away.
Looks like Car Powerbank got market opportunities..
No need find car park wait for lag-charge.
Just like phone/laptop no need find socket to charge @ starbucks.
Here come the rescue ranger opportunity for battery kong EV.
who those fu..kaaars
Tow trucks must be on standby to do the job. No point issuing fines as it is never a deterrence. Only why you damage their beloved car towing it out of the EV parking bay will they learn the lesson.
Otak mati. Buta huruf pon boleh drive.
Actually they can read, but being literate does not mean they are educated. They are two very different things.
LOL..luckily not myvi…else comment here will be 10x more
OraCat owner should just claw the GLA and CIVIC…and put graffiti MEOW PARKER…..
Manusia bingai al-bengap macam ni saman pun tak guna. Penjara dengan sebatan terus. Baru ada akal.
Sampah doing what sampah does.
The management should clamp such vehicles and compound them before removal of clamp. l
call the ev charging service and report. make sure they tow the cars to a workshop and make sure they pay the towing company to release their vehicles. padan muka!
