The fast 22kW chargers at the 66 locations along the highway is able to add around 120km of distance per hour of charging, so if the next charging station is around 60km away (not unrealistic given that there are 66) then you spend 30mins at the charger, just nice to stretch your legs, toilet break, maybe even a cup of coffee.
120km is estimation for smooth traffic right? What if in traffic jam & hilly area like in northern part of PLUS highway.
Let say you can get 120km, take about 1 hour to drive. So, every 1 hour drive you need to stop & charge for 1 hour. Not to mention in festive season where r&r are so packed. Need to q some more to get your turn.

TNB tariffs are driven by fuel (gas, coal in Peninsular) prices la bro.
Difference is that to "top up" a 30kWh Nissan Leaf costs around RM0.40 x 30 = RM12 which can take you around 300km.
PS - the target will also include Plug-In Hybrids (ones that have petrol or diesel engines to supplement the battery) and also electric bicycles and motorcycles.
This calculation based on what? Rate at charging station? If it's based on TNB tariff, it's not accurate. TNB charge are 51.60 sen & 54.60 sen for 301 - 600 kWh & 601 - 900 kWh. Normal user will used up first 300 kWh per month easily.
