Proton New Energy Technology (PRO-NET) and EV Connection (EVC) recently launched the “PRONET-EVC Condominium EV Charging Infrastructure Programme.” This initiative aims to provide EV charging facilities to 100 condominiums currently lacking them and offer competitive charging rates to around 70 existing condominiums in the JomCharge network.
This programme builds on PRO-NET and EVC’s ongoing collaboration, which has already seen over 400 home wall chargers installed for smart vehicle owners. JomCharge, one of Malaysia’s largest EV charging networks, is integrated into PRO-NET’s infrastructure, supporting approximately 600 charging points and over 2,000 sessions since the debut of smart vehicles.
The partnership includes a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to achieve two main goals:
- Availability: Ensure EV chargers are accessible in high-rise residential buildings, aligning with Malaysia’s target of 10,000 charging points by 2025.
- Affordability: Provide reasonably priced EV charging options for residents, crucial for the 70% of Klang Valley citizens living in high-rise buildings, to boost EV adoption.
Condominiums without existing EV facilities can apply for free chargers through EVC’s website. Selected applicants will receive a comprehensive package, including the chargers, necessary infrastructure work, compliance measures, a charger management system, and inclusion in the JomCharge network. Additionally, these condominiums can benefit from a revenue-sharing arrangement.
The charging rates for these new installations are set at a competitive RM 0.70/kWh, compared to the market average of RM 1.00/kWh. For Proton e.MAS 7 users, an additional 10% discount will reduce the rate to RM 0.63/kWh starting January 2025, matching the affordability of TNB residential tariffs.
Proton’s e.MAS 7 is now available for booking at a fee of RM500 through authorized dealers, the official website, or the Proton e.MAS app. Early adopters can enjoy the Pioneer Privilege Deal, which includes a RM500 rebate and a gift pack worth RM1,000, valid until the grand launch.
