KUALA LUMPUR, 5 Oct 2016:
GreenTech Malaysia group chief executive officer Ahmad Hadri today said there are 95 Charge Electric Vehicle (EV) stations across Malaysia and this will be extended to 1,000 stations by end-2017.
He said the majority of the ChargeEV stations will be located in Selangor (500), followed by Kedah (150), Johor (110), Malacca (90), Perak (60), Pahang (50) and Terengganu (40).
Ahmad said the group also targets to install 300 ChargeEV stations by this year and will keep to its target of achieving 25,000 ChargeEV stations by 2020 to support Malaysia’s target of deploying 100,000 EVs in the next five years.
He spoke after GreenTech Malaysia strengthened its partnership with BMW Group Malaysia to offer owners of the premium automaker’s new plug-in hybrid vehicles in the country access to its ChargeNow mobility services via the ChargeEV platform.

ChargeNow mobility services are powered by GreenTech Malaysia’s own brand of EV charging stations.
BMW Group Malaysia corporate communications head Sashi Ambi said as part of the BMW 360 Electric programme, customers with a BMW i or BMW Hybrid vehicle with eDrive technology are offered the new BMW ChargeNow service – using the ChargeNow card that allows customers to enjoy 24/7 support and access to ChargeEV’s charger network.
“It is important that we ensure the necessary infrastructure is available to support the new technology as this is what will also increase consumer confidence in the viability of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
“As of today, the demand for both the BMW X5 xDrive40e and BMW 330e continues to grow. We have already begun delivering both vehicles to our customers; the BMW X5 xDrive40e currently has a wait list until second quarter 2017 while the order bank for the BMW 330e is healthily growing.
“We are confident that the progress of these vehicles will continue to be positive

This year and next year alone, Green Tech Malaysia will have 300 charging stations*. The goal over the next five years is to have 25,000 public charging stations in addition to the 100,000 charging stations that are going to be at Electric Car Owners home or office.

*@Petronas Stations?!

Not a single chance. I can bet on it by the time of 2020 Malaysia EV ownership reach 100k as likely as the pig will fly.

First thing first thats not infrastructure of charging point.

Second the car import tax is not in favour for CBU EV (big boy like BMW, Merc, Nissan, etc will not invest factory EV facility in Malaysia due to the cost and the gov's roti canai policy).

Third the gov is not encouraging to generating renewable energy.

i'm wondering, does it significantly cheaper using ev (in term of electric bill) compared to petrol?

I think by January 2020 there are about 30k EV cars only. Who need EV cars if TNB keep increasing tariff rates
