What happened

Charge+ has added two 50kW DC chargers in Penang: one at Bagan Specialist Centre in Taman Bagan, Butterworth (Level 1, Block E of the multilevel carpark, RM1.25/kWh, plus three 22kW AC points on Level 3 near Pillar 3L at RM1.00/kWh), and one at Lone Pine Penang in Batu Ferringhi (Autel 50kW DC with two CCS2 nozzles, RM1.35/kWh). Charge+ also sells bulk charging credits via subscription, starting at RM726 for 600kWh on public chargers and RM582 for 600kWh on its residential plan.

Why it matters

This is EV charging infrastructure news, not software news — nothing here changes how you build, deploy, or pay for software. The only actionable detail for a builder is pricing data: RM1.25–RM1.35/kWh DC versus RM1.00/kWh AC and a RM726/600kWh prepaid block, useful only if you are modelling EV-charging costs or building something that integrates with charge point operators in Malaysia.

Discussion angle

If anyone in the room is building on top of Malaysian charge point operator APIs or modelling EV running costs, is RM1.25–RM1.35/kWh DC plus a RM726/600kWh prepaid block actually competitive against other Penang networks — or is this a five-minute aside before we move to the main topic?
