As public usage of DC Fast Chargers ramps up across the country, the premium automaker has officially released the pricing structure for BMW i Charging facilities to ensure a fair and standardised experience for all users in Malaysia.

Kuala Lumpur, 22nd June 2022 – BMW Group Malaysia has announced the official pricing structure for all BMW i Charging facilities across the country in a move that aims to provide fair access to the infrastructure nationwide, while providing the highest level of Premium Electric Ownership Experience for all.

Hans de Visser, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “Our vision for an Electric Future spans beyond just the expansion of our EV portfolio and infrastructure here at BMW Group Malaysia. We have long been working on fostering a viable ecosystem that is future-ready and one that electrified mobility can thrive in, knowing that the main roadblock to EV adoption remains to be range anxiety and a worry that there may not be enough charging facilities in place across the country. Through our many partnerships with local tech and EV industry leaders over the past few years, we have been able to continuously grow our network of charging facilities where the needs are highest. With an official pricing structure in place, we are taking the next step in the ever-maturing EV ecosystem in Malaysia, by endeavouring to provide fair and adequate access to these facilities for all EV users in Malaysia – regardless of make and model, as electrification remains a shared responsibility amongst automakers in solving climate change.”

In partnership with chargEV, BMW Group Malaysia has successfully provided access to a comprehensive network of over 400 charging facilities across Peninsular Malaysia, as well as in Sabah and Sarawak. The infrastructure network comprises of AC Chargers located strategically across the country to enable peace-of-mind when travelling, whether intercity or out of state.

“BMW and MINI EV owners can also expect greater accessibility to charging facilities across the country as we continue to partner with multiple key EV charging providers such as JomCharge and Tenaga Nasional Berhad in addition to ChargEV moving forward. This is our strategy to ensure that owners of our electrified vehicles will have access to the widest range of charging facilities no matter where they are in Malaysia, in line with the rising interest for electrified mobility since the introduction of our next-generation BMW i vehicles earlier this year. Customers and members of the public can also expect to see many more BMW i Charging facilities located in key areas.” De Visser said.
