Shell Recharge launches 180 kW DC EV chargers along ECE in Paka, Perasing, Temerloh – RM2.20/kWh

Still anxious about driving your EV to the East Coast? Shell Malaysia has launched the nation’s first East-West Coast High-Performance Charging (HPC) network, comprising three Shell station locations along the East Coast Expressway (ECE) – Paka (KL- and Kuala Terengganu-bound) and Perasing (accessible from both directions) in Terengganu, and Temerloh (KL-bound; Kuantan-bound already open) in Pahang.

Each location has a twin-gun setup delivering up to 180 kW DC, enough to charge a Porsche Taycan from 10-80% in as little as 18 minutes, and a Porsche Macan EV in as little as 21 minutes. The two Terengganu charging stations are now operational, and when the Temerloh one goes online next month, Shell will have 13 HPCs in the country, most of which are along the PLUS North-South Highway.

The rate is RM2.20 per kWh. In conjunction with Raya, from March 24 to April 4, Platinum members (you already are one if you’ve bought a Porsche EV) will get a 100% credit rebate for charging at these locations; 50% for Gold members and pay-per-use users. The rebate will be credited within seven days after the campaign ends.

“The East Coast has long been regarded as a challenging region for HPC EV charging, and Shell is stepping up to change that. With the launch of our latest Shell Recharge HPC network in Pahang and Terengganu, we are bridging a critical gap in ultra-fast charging solutions along the East Coast corridor.

“From our first Shell Recharge HPC site in Tangkak, Johor to the record-breaking EV charging hub at Genting Highlands, we have steadily grown our network to meet the needs of EV users across the country. We will continue to invest in a connected and accessible charging network, ensuring EV drivers nationwide have the confidence to go further,” said Shell Malaysia mobility and convenience GM Seow Lee Ming.

“This HPC network expansion further consolidates technical partnerships with manufacturers, such as the Shell Recharge and Porsche high-performance charging network, providing more charging locations accessible to Porsche EV owners. Porsche owners receive special benefits such as additional reservation allowances and special tariff rates for charging throughout the country,” said Sime Darby Auto Performance CEO Christopher Hunter.
