What happened
Shell Recharge activated its 180kW DC charger at Temerloh RNR (KL-bound/Westbound) over 28 months after installation, with two CCS2 nozzles, RM2.20 per kWh pricing, and app activation. The Eastbound 180kW charger went live in November 2024 but is no longer listed in the Shell Recharge app. The article links this to wider Malaysian EV infrastructure delays: after missing the 10,000 charge point target for 2025, the new goal is 30,000 by 2030; Budget 2027 includes 50 LLM EV charging stations, JPJ reports over 180,000 EVs registered, and highway charger deployment averages 18 months in Malaysia versus 3–4 months in neighbouring countries.
Why it matters
For Malaysian builders and founders in EV, fleet, or charging software, this is a concrete signal to design around approval and grid bottlenecks rather than hardware availability: the KL-bound unit sat installed for 28+ months, and the Eastbound charger is missing from the app despite going live in November 2024. If your product or operations depend on charging, verify charger status independently and budget for roughly 18-month highway deployment timelines.
Discussion angle
Use the Eastbound charger disappearing from the app as a case study: what data, user-reporting, or ops layer would a Malaysian charging or fleet app need to detect stale charger status and route around it reliably?
