Owners of electric vehicles can rejoice as there is one more place they can do to juice up their EVs quickly. BMW Group Malaysia has installed new DC Fast Chargers at Auto Bavaria Ara Damansara, and it is available for public use. This fast-charging station will be one of many more that will arrive with the next-generation BMW i fleet. Selected dealerships will have Rapid-Charging DC Chargers installed soon.
Hans de Visser, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “We have been driving the change towards electrification not only with our growing portfolio of electrified vehicles but also by expanding the local charging infrastructure network across the country. We partnered with GreenTech Malaysia from the get-go to ensure a functioning ecosystem for electromobility to thrive in, and are continuing to deliver on that commitment alongside our network of dedicated dealers – not just for BMW and MINI owners, but for electric vehicle owners in Malaysia. We are confident that this move will be mutually beneficial in ensuring charging infrastructures are more accessible across the country, and help alleviate the concerns of potential EV owners in Malaysia such as range anxiety.”
Vi Thim Juan, Managing Director of Auto Bavaria, added, “Much like the BMW Group, we have long shared the belief that the future is electric, and we are honoured to be amongst the first dealerships to bring this vision into reality by installing the DC Fast Chargers on our premises for public use. Our loyal customers will now also be able to visit our dealerships and receive the full Electric Ownership Experience, as we work in tandem with BMW Group Malaysia to accelerate the shift to electromobility in Malaysia.”
