What happened

JomCharge, in partnership with MBPJ, opened a street-level EV charging site at Asia Mix Rice Restaurant in Sunway Mas, Petaling Jaya, with one 100kW DC charger (two CCS2 nozzles) and two 10kW AC points — the same configuration as its Aman Suria Betty's Midwest Kitchen site. Pricing is RM1.40/kWh for DC and RM1.10/kWh for AC, activatable through JomCharge, ChargEV and Gentari Go, with JomCharge Elite and Platinum memberships giving 10% and 25% off respectively. A 50% opening discount runs 31 October to 1 November 2026 (DC at RM0.70/kWh), and discounts stack with memberships.

Why it matters

This is consumer EV infrastructure news with no developer, AI, or startup tooling angle — nothing here changes what a builder ships. The only transferable detail is the pricing structure: RM1.40/kWh DC vs RM1.10/kWh AC, roaming across three apps, and stacked membership discounts, which is a pattern worth noting only if you happen to be modelling subscription-plus-usage pricing or building anything that touches Malaysian payments or location data.

Discussion angle

Brief mention only: three separate apps (JomCharge, ChargEV, Gentari Go) activating the same charger plus stackable membership discounts is a neat example of roaming and layered pricing — worth 30 seconds on whether that model helps or confuses users, then move on.
