• PLUS, Yinson GreenTech to develop retail/EV fast charging hub – Seremban RSA ready by 2027

  In Local News / By Anthony Lim / 13 June 2025 8:29 pm / 2 comments

  

  PLUS Malaysia and Yinson GreenTech Malaysia (YGT), through their respective subsidiaries Terra PLUS and Green EV Charge, have announced the signing of a joint venture agreement to develop and operate integrated retail and electrical vehicle charging hubs at selected locations along the North-South Expressway (NSE).

  This follows on the MoU signed back in June 2023, in which both parties signaled their intention to work together on developing a fast charging hub along the PLUS highway. As it was previously, the JV agreement was inked by PLUS MD Datuk Nik Airina Nik Jaafar and YGT CEO Lim Chern Yuan.

  Likewise, the location, with the companies indicating that the first development will be at the Seremban RSA (southbound). The hub is expected to be ready by 2027, which is a shift from the original intention of having it up and running by 2024.

  Through the JV, PLUS will lead the development and management of the hub’s commercial retail and F&B components, whilst YGT will be responsible for the installation, operation and management of EV chargers. The companies said that the hub will differentiate itself from other EV charging infrastructure by offering a complete stopover experience, mixing reliable, DC fast chargers with a vibrant retail and F&B experience.

  There was no mention of the technical aspects of the chargers in the JV announcement, but YGT had previously mentioned during the 2023 MoU signing that the hub would feature eight charging bays, each with a Level 3 DCFC having a power output of up to 350 kW, allowing a suitable EV to be fully charged in as little as 20 minutes. It is not known if the design of the hub has been revised from that penned originally.

  Additionally, it was also indicated back then that a second hub was being planned, with this one being located at Ayer Keroh RSA (northbound). This was also supposed to be ready by 2025, but given the new timeframe mentioned for the Seremban hub, it remains to be seen when this project will be completed.

• Malaysia remains committed to its target of having 10,000 EV charging stations by end-2025 – Fadillah

  In Electric Cars in Malaysia, Local News / By Anthony Lim / 23 May 2025 12:13 pm / 6 comments

  

  In October last year, the ministry of investment, trade and industry (MITI) said it was keeping to its target of getting 10,000 EV charging stations in place in Malaysia by 2025, as outlined by the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) 2021-2030.

  That target is still on the cards, as Bernama reports. According to deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, Malaysia remains committed in its efforts to establish 10,000 EV charging stations nationwide by the end of 2025.

  “Our target is to have approximately 10,000 charging stations across Malaysia, including Sabah and Sarawak, by the end of this year,” he said during an address at a dinner with the Malaysian diaspora in Thailand yesterday. As of December 31, 2024, the public EV charging network in the country stood at 3,611 EV charging bays (EVCBs), according to PLANMalaysia’s national electric vehicle charging network (MEVnet) dashboard.

  

  Fadillah, who is also the energy transition and water transformation minister, acknowledged that there were challenges at present, particularly in the demand for direct current (DC) chargers over alternating current (AC) ones.

  “We are working closely with Petronas and other industry players to address this issue. Our ministry is ensuring sufficient charging connectivity, including along highways, in rural areas, and across other parts of Malaysia,” he said.

  As reported last year, it is expected that the 10k charger target will only be met in full by 2026, although that for DC units could be met by the end of this year. Originally, the LCMB plan outlined 9,000 AC and 1,000 DC public chargers, but the government then revised the DC allocation to 1,500 units, while bringing that for AC down to 8,500 units.

  

  Last November, the Malaysia Zero Emission Vehicle Association (MyZEVA) said that it expected the target of 1,500 DC charging points across the country to be achieved sometime in the middle of this year, six months ahead of the deadline. With MEVnet listing 1,095 DC chargers in place as of December 31 last year, that projection looks set to be met.

  As for AC, the association forecasted that the intended 8.5k was expected to be in place by Q3 2026, but a revision may be necessary unless the installation pace picks up considerably. With only 2,516 EVCBs in place at the end of last year and a growth rate of about 120 units each month (based on last November to December’s installation rate), the projection should fall somewhere in the region of 5k by then.

  In Cars, Electric Cars in Malaysia, Local News / By Jonathan James Tan / 13 March 2025 11:56 am / 0 comment

  

  Still anxious about driving your EV to the East Coast? Shell Malaysia has launched the nation’s first East-West Coast High-Performance Charging (HPC) network, comprising three Shell station locations along the East Coast Expressway (ECE) – Paka (KL- and Kuala Terengganu-bound) and Perasing (accessible from both directions) in Terengganu, and Temerloh (KL-bound; Kuantan-bound already open) in Pahang.

  Each location has a twin-gun setup delivering up to 180 kW DC. The two Terengganu charging stations are now operational, and when the Temerloh one goes online next month, Shell will have 13 HPCs in the country, most of which are along the PLUS North-South Highway.

  The rate is RM2.20 per kWh. In conjunction with Raya, from March 24 to April 4, Platinum members (you already are one if you’ve bought a Porsche EV) will get a 100% credit rebate for charging at these locations; 50% for Gold members and pay-per-use users. The rebate will be credited within seven days after the campaign ends.

  

  

  

  “The East Coast has long been regarded as a challenging region for HPC EV charging, and Shell is stepping up to change that. With the launch of our latest Shell Recharge HPC network in Pahang and Terengganu, we are bridging a critical gap in ultra-fast charging solutions along the East Coast corridor.

  “From our first Shell Recharge HPC site in Tangkak, Johor to the record-breaking EV charging hub at Genting Highlands, we have steadily grown our network to meet the needs of EV users across the country. We will continue to invest in a connected and accessible charging network, ensuring EV drivers nationwide have the confidence to go further,” said Shell Malaysia mobility and convenience GM Seow Lee Ming.

  “This HPC network expansion further consolidates technical partnerships with manufacturers, such as the Shell Recharge and Porsche high-performance charging network, providing more charging locations accessible to Porsche EV owners. Porsche owners receive special benefits such as additional reservation allowances and special tariff rates for charging throughout the country,” said Sime Darby Auto Performance CEO Christopher Hunter.

• ChargEV Tangkak Pitstop – country’s first electric truck-ready charging hub, eight 120 kW DC bays

  In Local News / By Anthony Lim / 27 February 2025 2:51 pm / 1 comment

  

  In January, ChargEV revealed that it would soon launch its first electric truck (e-truck) charging hub on the North–South Expressway, in Tangkak. That hub, located at Tangkak Pitstop near the Tangkak toll plaza, then became operational later that month, making it the first commercial EV charging hub along the expressway.

  Designed to serve users plying the route between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, the ChargEV hub addresses the growing need for reliable and high-powered EV charging for commercial fleets, but it also caters to passenger EVs as well.

  According to DC fast-charging solutions provider Kempower, its charger setup at the site features a total charging capacity of 400 kW across eight Kempower Satellite charging stands, which work on a dynamic distribution basis for their output. At present, output from each is rated at 120 kW, according to Plugshare. As with other ChargEV points, the chargers here are priced at RM1.60 per kWh.

  The site is also equipped with a 400 kWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) – consisting of eight units of pixii 50kW PowerShaper battery packs – which the company says will help to manage peak electricity demand, reduce strain on the grid and ensure uninterrupted power supply for users.

  “We are committed to making EV travel in Malaysia as frictionless and reliable as conventional fuel-powered journeys. Our partnership with Kempower reflects our unwavering commitment to accelerating the transition toward sustainable transportation by expanding a reliable and seamless EV charging infrastructure,” said ChargEV MD Chua Seng Teong.

• Tesla V4 Supercharger station now in The Gardens Mall – four DC EV chargers, one Destination charger

  In Local News, Tesla Motors / By Mick Chan / 25 February 2025 10:47 am / 6 comments

  

  Tesla Malaysia has added to its Supercharger network, now with the latest V4 Supercharger station online at The Gardens Mall that is comprised of four V4 Superchargers and one Destination Charging point.

  As with existing Tesla Supercharger outlets in the network, the latest Supercharger location delivers a peak charging rate of 250 kW DC, with pricing at RM1.13 per kWh and an idle fee of RM4 per minute. This Supercharger station aims to serve Tesla users located in the high-rise residential developments, as well as commercial and retail centres in the Gardens/Mid Valley area.

  This joins the brand’s charging network in Malaysia that is now part of 14 Supercharging stations, comprised of 64 Superchargers and 15 Destination Charging stations with 70 chargers. Use of the Tesla Supercharger network in Malaysia is currently limited to Tesla vehicles, as seen by the “Tesla Charging Only” script on the parking bays of the latest location.

  

  A requirement for Tesla’s AP exemption when its approval was secured under the BEV Global Leaders programme in 2023 was that at least 30% of its DC fast chargers (with a minimum of 180 kW) are open to the public, and for use by EVs from other brands from 2025, this year.

  Given that the network of Tesla Superchargers in Malaysia is presently concentrated in urban centres, save for the Skudai R&R in Johor, there are yet to be other Supercharger stations located along highways.

  For Tesla users travelling interstate, this would typically require departing the highway and entering a town centre to recharge their car. As most Supercharger stations are already located in built-up urban areas, Tesla Malaysia’s Supercharger network could do with more highway locations to facilitate easier long-distance driving. Thoughts, Tesla users?

• PETRA commits to 10,000 EV chargers by year-end

  In Electric Cars in Malaysia, Local News / By Jonathan James Tan / 22 January 2025 4:10 pm / 0 comment

  

  The energy transition and water transformation ministry (PETRA) is committed to ensuring 10,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are established nationwide by year-end, deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof has said, according to a Berita Harian report.

  Fadillah, also PETRA minister, said that the charging stations must be located in both urban and rural areas, and that it was necessary to encourage more people to switch to environmentally-friendly vehicles in an effort to address climate change.

  

  “EVs actually fall under the investment, trade and industry ministry (MITI), but PETRA is responsible for increasing the number of charging stations. If we want to encourage (EV use) there must first be charging stations for public convenience because most EVs have a range between 300 and 400 km. Increasing the number of charging stations is among MITI and PETRA’s joint agendas,” he said.

  As outlined in the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) 2021-2030, Malaysia’s target is 10,000 EV chargers – 1,500 DC and 8,500 AC – by end-2025. According to the Malaysia Zero Emission Vehicle Association (MyZEVA), the numbers as of November 2024 are 956 DC + 2,398 AC = 3,354 chargers. Therefore, we need at most 544 more DC and a whopping 6,102 more AC chargers in the next 11 months.

• List of DC EV chargers on major highways in Malaysia

  In Electric Cars in Malaysia, Local News / By Jonathan James Tan / 23 December 2024 3:12 pm / 3 comments

  

  Just in time for the holiday season, the Malaysian Electric Vehicle Owners Club (MyEVOC) has compiled and posted on its Facebook page a list of 50-kW-and-up DC EV chargers along the North-South Highway (PLUS), LATAR Expressway and West Coast Expressway (WCE), and East Coast Expressway (ECE).

  Updated as of yesterday, the list shows 37 fast charging stations on the PLUS, four on the LATAR and WCE, and seven on the ECE, containing 104 charging bays in total – although Tesla’s new PLUS Skudai Superchargers (number 37 in the list) are still only for Teslas at present (but this could change next year). Their RM1.13 a kWh rate is the cheapest in this list.

  DC Handal has the highest-kW chargers in this list at 400 kW; you’ll find these on the WCE at Taiping Selatan southbound and the Trong toll plaza, both priced at RM1.50 a kWh. The most numerous operator is Gentari with 17 stations, followed by Shell Recharge with 13. TNB Electron appears to be the sole operator in the list that charges by the minute instead of kWh.

  See the full list below – we wish you a safe and pleasant drive, and happy holidays!

• 3,354 EV chargers in Malaysia as of Nov 2024 – DC set to hit 1.5k target 6 months early, AC projected Q3 2026

  In Local News / By Anthony Lim / 23 December 2024 11:47 am / 1 comment

  

  In October, the ministry of investment, trade and industry (MITI) said it was keeping to its target of getting 10,000 EV chargers in place in Malaysia by 2025, as outlined by the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) 2021-2030.

  Where do things stand heading into the end of 2024? Well, as of November 2024, the number of public chargers in the country stood at 956 DC and 2,398 AC, making for a combined total of 3,354 chargers.

  Will the target to get everything in place in 2025 be met? At least one part of the equation will, according to the Malaysia Zero Emission Vehicle Association (MyZEVA), a non-governmental organisation consisting of 57 members from related segments in the industry.

  

  This will be with DC chargers, as revealed in a presentation made at last week’s EV forum at the Malaysia-China Summit 2024 held in Kuala Lumpur. Originally, the plan outlined 9,000 AC and 1,000 DC public chargers, but earlier this year, the government revised the DC allocation to 1,500 units, while bringing that for AC down to 8,500 units.

  Despite the increase, the association says that with an average of 70 new DC chargers coming about every month, it expects the target of 1,500 DC charging points across the country will be achieved sometime in the middle of next year, six months ahead of the deadline.

  However, the overall 10k target will likely only be achieved in 2026. At present, the AC charger deployment rate is averaging 20 units a month, and based on this, the association said that the 8,500 charger target is only expected to be completed by Q3 2026, citing challenges faced by the industry in deploying these. While not stated, part of this could be due to associated costs, bureaucracy and, in relation to this, the ROI.

  

  

  Click to enlarge.

  Of course, the bigger picture lies beyond next year. As more EVs come into the market, so should the charging network increase exponentially. Assuming that the growth rate of EV adoption continues at a steady pace of 2.9%, MyZEVA estimates that a total of 717k BEVs will be plying Malaysian roads by 2030.

  Keeping to the 15% DC and 85% AC balance and based on current deployment rates, it projects that there should be more than 40,000 charging points in place by 2030. This does however bring the ratio up to one charger to nearly 17 vehicles.

  If the aim is to get a public charging network with a one charger to eight vehicle ratio, then 89,705 chargers need to be in place at that point. Sounds like a stretch to get that, but proponents will undoubtedly be hoping to see amplified growth over the next six years.

• MITI wants DC chargers in all Selangor, Johor districts

  In Electric Cars in Malaysia, Local News / By Jonathan James Tan / 27 November 2024 3:34 pm / 1 comment

  

  The investment, trade and industry ministry (MITI) is collaborating with the Selangor and Johor state governments to ensure that every district has at least one DC EV charger, Bernama reports.

  MITI deputy minister Liew Chin Tong said this initiative is part of the government’s measures to achieve the 10,000-EV charging station target by 2025.

  “We hope that following the pilot project with the Selangor and Johor state governments, we can extend this programme to cover all districts in both states, ensuring comprehensive access to DC chargers,” he said during a question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today.

  Liew was responding to Kubang Pasu MP Datuk Ku Abd Rahman Ku Ismail’s supplementary question about the government’s strategy to ensure adequate EV charging infrastructure in line with increasing EV adoption nationwide.

  

  Liew noted that there are currently 500 DC chargers across the country, and MITI has raised its target from 1,000 to 1,500 units by 2025. “We aim to install 1,500 DC chargers, as they significantly reduce charging time,” he explained.

  Liew also highlighted various initiatives to strengthen the EV ecosystem and domestic industry in response to a separate question from Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong regarding efforts to boost local EV production and support sustainable development goals (SDG) 2050 targets.

  “As of September 30, 2024, a total of 33,319 electrified vehicles (xEVs), including hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles and fuel-cell electric vehicles, have been sold.

  “This represents 5.11% of total vehicle sales for the year. Additionally, 3,354 charging bays have been installed as of October 31, 2024,” added Liew.
