What happened
JomCharge and Petaling Jaya city council MBPJ have switched on the first street-level EV charging site in PJ, at Aman Suria in front of Betty's Midwest Kitchen: four bays made up of one 100kW DC charger with two CCS2 nozzles and two 10kW AC points. Standard pricing is RM1.40 per kWh for DC and RM1.10 per kWh for AC, with up to 25% off for JomCharge Elite or Platinum members. For the weekend of 10–11 October 2026 only, charging at this site is 50% off (DC at RM0.70 per kWh, stackable with membership), and a Zus Coffee voucher code ZJOMCHARGE15 gives 15% off at the Aman Suria outlet.
Why it matters
This is a consumer EV-infrastructure story with no developer, AI, or software angle in the text, so for most builders there is nothing to change. The one practical item is time-boxed: if you drive an EV and are near Aman Suria on 10–11 October 2026, DC charging is RM0.70 per kWh rather than RM1.40, and the discount stacks with Elite/Platinum membership. For founders, the notable detail is the MBPJ-plus-operator model for street-level chargers rather than mall car parks, which is the kind of municipal partnership structure local infrastructure startups may need to replicate — but the article gives no terms, revenue split, or rollout timeline beyond this single site.
Discussion angle
MBPJ-backed street-level charging versus mall/car-park charging: what has to be true about RM1.40 per kWh DC pricing and municipal partnership terms for this model to scale beyond one Aman Suria site, and whether membership discount stacking is a viable retention lever or just margin erosion.
