Business owners in Laman Rimbunan, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, are objecting to the installation of new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the busy commercial area.

They said the charging units take up valuable, high-demand parking bays.

The two charging stations, which are not operational yet, will occupy four bays along Jalan Rimbunan Raya 1.

Lee Kok Kin, 50, who runs a stall selling accessories, said the stations would worsen congestion.

“Parking bays in the middle of the commercial area gets filled up fast,” he said.

“When operational, the charging stations will occupy valuable bays right in the middle of the commercial block, resulting in more vehicles circling around to find a parking space.”

Personal driver Lee Fook Sang, 65, raised safety concerns about the elevated kerb built to accommodate the station.

“The kerb is built higher than the ground level and motorists might not be aware and reverse their car into it,” he said.

Kepong activist Yee Poh Ping said he received complaints from residents on the charging stations.

He said Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) should relocate the stations to the corner of the commercial block.

“Normally, the parking bays at the end of a commercial building are the last to be taken up.

“Placing the stations there will be ideal,” he said, adding that he would send a formal letter to City Hall on the suggestion.

Yee also highlighted the poor road conditions of back lanes of the Jalan Rimbunan Raya 1 shop lots.

“The back lane, which is frequently used by vehicles, especially vans ferrying goods, has many potholes and are a safety hazard to motorcyclists during downpours.

“DBKL should resurface the back lanes and prevent any illegal cooking activities from taking place there too,” he said.

Cannot charge them for parking as well?

i dont really like the idea of EV charger in shopping mall.

if i dont hav charger at home, & rely on going to mall to charge, i cant really count on it because what if it's occupied when i'm there?
that means i should make sure my EV have at least 50-60% battery even if going to nearby mall.
but if i'm already on50-60% charge, not that much more that i can top up.
depending on on charger speed, meaning it can be done charging pretty quickly.
meaning i hav to time my stay in the mall, cuz idle charge is expensive AF, & it's also courtesy to vacant the spot once your car is fully charged.
that means i i hav to go bck to parking, circle around & find regular parking.
i can arrive early to get EV charger spot, but by the time i need to moved my car, already many shoppers & regular parking spot might be hard to come by.

if i dont rely on mall EV charger, usually, the most stresful part of mall visit on weekends/holidays, or going event/expo is finding parking.
after that roam free, spend however much time i like in the mall.
i dont know, maybe for me, charging EV in mall is an anxiety inducing activity.

It's for you only
It's profitable for mall operator
That's why they all are installing it

Put it this way, should charge for parking and charging. Maybe charge premium for that parking? 

I am not a EV driver .but its a free country no? It's up to the owner of the parking.

1. Why do you need to have 50-60% battery before you go charge? You can go when you only left 20%. How far is the mall you want to go?

2. How long you want to do your shopping? 2 hours not enough?

3. Tell me you don't have EV without telling me you don't have EV.

Window shopping to kill time scenario: If ur car left 20%, u go mall, select AC charging, that will take around 4-6 hours charging, depend on the charger speed. You dont need to fight parking with ICE car.

Grocery je scenario: If ur car left 20%, u go mall, select DC charging. less than an hour finish charge. just ngam ngam u finish grocery. No need spend time finding parking.

You dont pump when your petrol still at 50-60%. Same goes with battery. what would you go charge at 50-60%?

Dont think so much, just enjoy it. You will know what to do when you have it.

Just tell them that EV parking can increase their profits.

my condo proposed to install ev charge and many agreed to install.

90% agreed
10% object

it means many of them are EV users?

Many want to switch to EV. It's here whether the 10% like it or not.

any reason why wanna switch?

cheaper to maintain?

No import tax no excise duty for one.
Maintenance is not cheap, EV just defer the major cost item down the line. (Motor, inverter, leaky cooling lines, AC Compressor)
