What happened
FastEV has activated a 200kW Kempower DC charging station at Menara Zecon in Kuching, with a single 200kW Power Unit feeding Kempower Satellites across 4 bays, so each bay still gets at least 50kW when all four are occupied. The site is open 24/7 and priced at RM1.40 per minute, with a promotional RM1.20 per minute rate running until 30 November 2026; sessions are activated and paid for through the FastEV Android/iOS app. The CPO is operated by SDEC Karuna JV Sdn Bhd, a joint venture subsidiary under the Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation, and also runs DC chargers at Urban Residences and Plaza Merdeka plus a 40kW unit at RTC Sampat in Sebangan.
Why it matters
There is no developer, AI, or SaaS angle in this text — it is an EV charging site launch with no API, software tooling, or platform change mentioned. The only concrete, usable facts are commercial: per-minute pricing (RM1.40, promo RM1.20 until 30 Nov 2026) and app-only payment, which matters only if you are building something that estimates charging cost or plans routes around Sarawak DC chargers. Everyone else can safely skip it this week.
Discussion angle
Worth 60 seconds at most: per-minute charging pricing (RM1.40/min, RM1.20 promo) is a hard cost model to build consumer apps on top of — ask whether anyone in the room has seen time-based utility pricing translate into a viable local product, or whether it just caps usage.
