#TLDR Completion of the six Shell Recharge High Performance Charging Station in Malaysia has created the longest cross-country high-performance charging infrastructure EV network in Southeast Asia.
Shell Malaysia, in collaboration with Porsche Asia Pacific, has unlocked the chains that have been holding EV owners from doing an epic road trip. Now that all six of Shell Recharge High Performance Charging Station completed and linked with our neighbours, owners can drive from Singapore to Thailand without worries.
Earlier this year, Shell and Porsche launched the first Shell Recharge High Performance Charging station in Tangkak. The completion of all six Shell Recharge HPC sites in Malaysia cements both partners’ commitment to sustainably connect three markets; Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
These six stations are strategically located along the North-South Expressway (NSE) includes Shell Hentian Tangkak Lay-By (South Bound), Shell Hentian Pagoh Rest Area (North Bound), Shell Hentian RTC Simpang Pulai (North Bound), Shell Hentian Tapah RSA NSE (South Bound), Shell Hentian Seremban R&R NSE (North Bound) and Shell Hentian Seremban R&R NSE (South Bound). All six Shell Recharge HPC stations are located less than a 200km range from one another enabling drivers to explore new and exciting destinations without EV range anxiety.
The Shell Recharge HPC stations are equipped with 180kW high-performance chargers which are built with two CCS Type-2 charging connectors. These charging connectors allow a single vehicle to be charged at up to 180kW, or two vehicles to charge simultaneously at up to 90kW each, which significantly reduces the waiting time in between charges.
Shell’s ParkEasy app in Malaysia allows EV customers to reserve the HPC parking bay up to 60 minutes in advance. Other features include navigation access for EV customers to assist drivers in locating available bays and a parking barrier to ensure the bay’s security while charging.
It looks like range anxiety is fast becoming a thing of the past.
