Frequently asked questions
Which plug does my EV use in Malaysia?
Most EVs sold in Malaysia charge on Type 2 for AC and CCS2 for DC fast charging. Some older Nissan and Mitsubishi models use CHAdeMO for DC. Each station page lists its connector types so you can check before you go.
What is the difference between AC and DC charging?
AC chargers (usually 7–22 kW) are best when you'll be parked for a few hours, at home, at work or at a mall. DC fast chargers (from about 30 kW up to 180 kW and more) can add most of a battery's range in under an hour, which suits highway stops.
How long does it take to charge?
It depends on the charger, your car's maximum charging speed and the battery level. As a rough guide, a 50 kW DC charger adds around 150 km of range in 30 minutes for a typical EV, while a 7 kW AC charger adds around 40 km per hour. DC charging slows down above about 80%.
How much does EV charging cost?
Operators set their own tariffs. Most charge per kWh, some charge per minute or per session, and DC fast charging costs more than AC. Station pages show the published price, and our cheapest fast charger tool ranks DC chargers near you by RM/kWh.
What are idle or overstay fees?
Some operators charge extra if your car stays plugged in after charging ends or beyond a time limit. Where an operator publishes these fees, they are listed under the charger on the station page.
Can I see whether a charger is free right now?
Yes, for operators that share live status. Those chargers show Available, Occupied or Charging. Operators that don't share live data show the charger without a status.
Why do some stations show codes like ST1 or ST2?
Many operators register each charger separately with an internal ID. We show the place name first and keep the charger ID underneath, and we group chargers at the same site together.
Can I charge on the highway when I balik kampung?
Yes. Many R&R stops on the PLUS and LPT2 expressways have chargers, including DC fast chargers. Search for the R&R on the map to see how many chargers it has, how fast they are and what they cost.
What do Public and Private mean on a station?
Public stations are open to everyone. Private or restricted stations may only be available to residents, tenants, customers or members, so check the access details before you travel there.
