KUALA LUMPUR: Wheelcorp Premium has introduced a new charging facility with the latest brand expression for MINI in Kota Kemuning, Selangor.
The facility in the Sanctuary Mall @ Eco Sanctuary, a neighbourhood mall developed by Eco World Development Group Bhd, offers electric vehicle (EV) owners in the area better access to charging infrastructure.
Jayden Liew, managing director of Wheelcorp Premium, said wiith the rising uptake of electrified vehicles in Malaysia, the providers of these automobiles considered it one of their main responsibilities to ensure that sufficient infrastructure was in place to support the demand.
"The positive reception for Electrified Mobility in recent times, bolstered by the many initiatives by our local government, has been a welcome sight for us; and we are committed to developing the EV landscape further for our customers, alongside BMW Group Malaysia."
The charging facility features two parking lots, a 50kW DC charger with two DC holders, as well as a 22kW AC charger, both powered by JomCharge.
It is now open to the public with a standard rate of RM1.20 per minute of use.
The facility is also part of BMW Malaysia's strategy to develop the infrastructure needed for the charging of electric vehicles, together with like-minded local partners, dealers and key charging providers.
Over 670 charging facilities have been made available by BMW Malaysia for EV owners here thus far, with access to over 360 of these facilities provided through partnerships with ChargEV and Yinson Greentech.
The partnership with JomCharge also enables access to over 70 charging facilities, and Gentari with about 150 facilities.
Over 100 BMW i and MINI charging facilities are also available at most authorised dealerships, as well as partnering venues across the country, with more to come as part of the strategic infrastructure expansion plan set for the year ahead.
