Malaysia’s Resorts World Genting will soon become an electric vehicle charging base after Shell Malaysia revealed it will set up 10 bays at the popular resort.
The new bays will lift the total EV charging points operating as part of Shell’s Malaysian network to 146 but will also represent the first ultra-fast 360kW high-performance charging hub powered by Shell Recharge.
The all-in-one charging hub will comprise four bays of 360kW high-performance charging and six bays of 22kW alternating current (AC) chargers, all with combined charging system Type 2 charging connectors to ensure a super-fast speed charging experience.
The hub is expected to be completed and ready for use in early 2024.
“Through the partnership with Porsche Malaysia and Genting Malaysia Bhd, the EV hub will be the latest addition to the Shell Recharge EV network of 136 charging points that are strategically located in key cities and along highways in Peninsular Malaysia, connecting Singapore, Malaysia to Thailand,” Shell Malaysia said in a statement.
Shell Mobility Malaysia General Manager Seow Lee Ming told media at a launch event that its new RWG hub would be the first of many new charging locations nationwide.
“We will continue to expand, as e-mobility is one of the important plays as we work toward a sustainable future,” she said, as reported by The Edge Malaysia.
