What happened
A new street-level EV charging site with four bays was spotted in front of Mr DIY in Sunway Mentari, using two DC chargers with two CCS2 nozzles each, reportedly ChargeDot units similar to JomCharge x DBKL street chargers. The construction permit lists Carput Zap Network Sdn Bhd as owner, and the site has two standee posts that appear to be contactless card terminals. It follows a June 2025 MoU between JomCharge (EV Connection) and Carput Zap with MBPJ under the MBPJ Green Mobility Partnership; more JomCharge x MBPJ sites have been spotted at Sunway Mas and Aman Suria.
Why it matters
For most developers, AI builders, and SaaS founders, there is no direct technical or product action here. The concrete detail to note is the apparent card-terminal posts, which could let EV owners activate charging without an app; if you build payments, EV roaming, or location-based services in the Klang Valley, this is a signal that municipal CPO rollouts may prioritize card acceptance, but the article gives no pricing, API, uptime, or launch dates.
Discussion angle
Is municipal EV charging better served by app-only activation or open card payments, and what would local payment/roaming integrations need to make card-first charging actually useful for drivers?
