ELECTRIC Vehicle (EV) owners can now "balik kampung" with high speed charging from Shell Recharge as they make their way to the East Coast for Hari Raya.

Launched just before the festive month, Malaysia’s first East Coast to West Coast High-Performance Charging (HPC) network delivers up to 180kW fast charging.

This marks a major milestone in Shell's efforts to expand its HPC network, completing East Coast to West Coast connectivity from Kuala Lumpur to Terengganu while complementing its North-to-South network from Johor to Perak.

Shell would have also expanded its HPC stations network to 13 locations in addition to their upcoming Shell LPT 1 R&R Temerloh HPC site.

1. Highlands Hotel, Genting Highlands
2. Shell Tangkak R&R JB bound
3. Shell NSE Pagoh R&R KL bound
4. Shell NSE Seremban R&R North bound
5. Shell NSE Seremban R&R South bound

Shell Malaysia Mobility & Convenience general manager Seow Lee Ming said they are bridging a critical gap in ultra-fast charging solutions along the East Coast corridor with the launch of their latest Shell Recharge HPC network in Pahang and Terengganu.

“Shell has been at the forefront of expanding Malaysia’s EV infrastructure in Peninsular Malaysia, and we are committed to supporting the nation’s energy transition and electrification of the transportation sector. The East Coast has long been regarded as a challenging region for HPC EV charging, and Shell is stepping up to change that.

"From our first Shell Recharge HPC site in Tangkak, Johor to the record-breaking EV charging hub at Genting Highlands, we have steadily grown our network to meet the needs of EV users across the country. We will continue to invest in a connected and accessible charging network, ensuring EV drivers nationwide have the confidence to go further," she added.

The latest HPC network expansion also further consolidates technical partnerships with manufacturers, such as the Shell Recharge and Porsche HPC network by providing more charging locations accessible to Porsche EV owners. 

Porsche owners receive special benefits such as additional reservation allowances and special tariff rates for charging throughout the country.

Sime Darby Auto Performance chief executive officer Christopher Hunter commented that Porsche Malaysia remains dedicated to expanding the HPC network to ensure seamless travel for its customers. 

"We are pleased to be extending the East Coast to West Coast HPC network with Shell Malaysia as well as further strengthening the EV ecosystem in Malaysia.

“We’ve seen a positive response toward EV adoption since the launch of the Taycan, adding that our EV portfolio continues to grow with the introduction of the all-electric Macan. Now, with our latest Taycan and Macan models, a 10% to 80% State of Charge (SoC) recharge can be achieved in as little as 18 minutes and 21 minutes, respectively, using Shell Recharge’s high-powered  DC chargers. 

"This means destination drives across Malaysia will now be more convenient, with shorter charging stops, allowing Porsche EV owners to enjoy more time on the road,” he added.

Shell will also be giving attractive credit rebates to EV users who charge their vehicles at Shell Recharge HPC sites along the East Coast Expressway from 24 March to 4 April 2025, in conjunction with the Hari Raya festive period.

Shell EV drivers can charge using the ParkEasy app at participating HPC sites during the campaign period. Platinum Members will receive a 100% credit rebate, while Gold Members and pay-per-use users will receive a 50% rebate, credited within seven (7) days after the campaign ends. Terms and conditions apply.
