DC EV Charger Malaysia

Following its recent deal with AEON Group to set up EV chargers in malls, Yinson GreenTech (Yinson Green Technologies (Yinson GreenTech or YGT), a division of Yinson Holdings)together with Starbucks Malaysia has unveiled a new network of charging stations, powered by chargEV. Currently, chargEV is Malaysia’s largest public charging network with over 400 charging points nationwide.

The launch took place at the Starbucks Eco Grandeur, Puncak Alam and with that, 23 new EV chargers at 17 different Starbucks stores within Klang Valley, Penang, Malacca, and Johor are now in operation. The installation of the EV chargers, powered by chargeEV, is the first for a retail coffee chain in Malaysia. It was announced at the unveiling that over the next three years, more EV charging stations with AC and DC fast chargers will be built within the Starbucks network of drive-thru stores.

Most of the 17 Starbucks outlets will only offer AC charging, while selected locations offer both 22 kW AC and 50 kW DC fast charging.

Electric vehicle charging provider ChargEV has announced in a Facebook post that it has added another DC fast charger to its charging network, and this time it is located at the Starbucks drive-through outlet in Indera Mahkota, Kuantan.

This EV charger at the Starbucks Indera Mahkota drive-through outlet is outputs 60 kW DC, and is priced at a rate of RM1.20 per kWh. This DC charger would serve EV users in the Bandar Indera Mahkota and wider Kuantan region near the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, including those travelling from the west coast.

For comparison, the EV charger at the Starbucks Port Dickson drive-through location is also priced at RM1.20 per kWh, albeit offering a slightly higher 80 kW DC output.

The Kuantan DC fast charger is the latest to be added to the ChargEV network, from the partnership between Yinson GreenTech and Starbucks Malaysia for the growing of the network of charging stations powered by ChargEV.

Earlier this year in April, ChargEV installed a pair of CCS2 Kempower DC fast chargers at the Berjaya Times Square rated at up to 225 kW with its usage priced at the same rate of RM1.20 per kWh, along with six AC chargers rated up to 22 kW which are located in Basement 1.
