KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 2 (Bernama) — PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad (PDB) recently launched its first electric vehicle (EV) charging hub at PETRONAS Station Bandar Baru Ayer Hitam along the North-South Expressway (NSE), marking the completion of key milestones under its collaboration with Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Sdn Bhd and EV Connection Sdn Bhd which started November last year.
The first of its kind at a petrol station in Malaysia, the hub comprises three direct current (DC) fast chargers – two 180 kW and one 50 kW – and two alternating current (AC) Gentari EV chargers, which will allow up to seven drivers to park and charge their vehicles at a time. Its strategic location makes it well-positioned for EV users travelling south- or north-bound to access the hub and charge their vehicles, thus ensuring worry-free long-distance journeys.
