DRIVING CHANGE:
ADVANCING EV ADOPTION WITH ENHANCED CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE IN MALAYSIA
This article was first published on 30 May 2024, and updated on 30 March 2025.
The development and widespread of Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) charging
infrastructure is paramount for driving the widespread adoption of electric vehicles
and nurturing a sustainable transportation ecosystem. A robust BEV charging
network cannot be overstated in overcoming the primary barriers of range anxiety
and accessibility that hinder the mass acceptance of electric vehicles. By establishing
a well-distributed and easily accessible charging infrastructure, electric vehicle
owners can confidently plan longer journeys and seamlessly integrate electric
vehicles into their daily routines.
In this endeavour, TNB plays a crucial role in bolstering the demand for BEV
charge points. From ensuring the readiness of the grid and network to support this
surge in demand to strategically placing TNB Electron stations to alleviate range
anxiety, TNB is at the forefront of facilitating the growth of BEV charging infrastructure.
Moreover, TNB enhances the charging experience by offering the convenience of a single
mobile platform through TNBX, supported by the Go To-U app. Through these initiatives,
TNB is not only spearheading the expansion of BEV charging infrastructure but also
empowering the seamless adoption of electric vehicles across Malaysia.
