Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd is establishing an electric vehicle (EV) charging hub with 10 charging bays at Resorts World Genting. This will increase its total EV charging points from the current 136 units to 146 units next year.
Branded as the first ultra-fast 360kW high-performance charging (HPC) hub, powered by Shell Recharge, the company’s EV charging solution provider, the Resorts World Genting hub is slated for completion early next year, according to Bernama.
The EV hub, a result of collaboration with Porsche Malaysia and Genting Malaysia Bhd, is the latest addition to Shell Recharge’s EV network of 136 charging points strategically located in key cities and along highways in Peninsular Malaysia, connecting Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Shell Malaysia details that the comprehensive charging hub will feature 10 bays, including four 360kW HPC bays and six 22kW alternating current (AC) chargers. All chargers will be equipped with combined charging system Type 2 connectors, promising EV drivers a high-speed charging experience.
Seow Lee Ming, General Manager of Shell Mobility Malaysia, highlights that the Resorts World Genting HPC hub marks the initiation of the company’s e-mobility expansion toward the east coast.
Looking ahead, she states, “We will continue to expand our EV charging bays in Peninsular Malaysia, considering e-mobility as a crucial aspect in our journey toward a sustainable future.”
Simultaneously, Seow reveals that the company is collaborating closely with Porsche Malaysia and other original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-based companies to address the needs and adoption of EV home charging points.
While home charging points are not currently in focus, she emphasises that the company is exploring possibilities based on sustainability and demand.
