GWM 4S Centre USJ offers free DC charging, open to all EVs until 15 October

Great Wall Motor (GWM) 4S Centre in USJ 1, Subang Jaya is currently offering all electric vehicle (EV) owners out there to charge at its DC fast charger for free until this coming October. The facility which was officially launched back in May is GWM Malaysia’s first flagship 4S centre and is operated by Superhub Auto Services.

The announcement on GWM USJ’s Facebook didn’t provide any details regarding the EV charger that has been installed there. Nevertheless, we have learned through the location’s PlugShare listing that the DC charger is a Tritium RTM 75kW with two CCS2 connectors.

The listing also noted that the power output would be split into two when both connectors are occupied. This is the second Tritium DC charger that we have seen in Malaysia after the 50kW unit at Kuro EV Seri Kembangan.

While it is unclear whether the charging cables on GWM USJ’s Tritium DC charger are liquid-cooled, it does feature a cable retraction system which allows users to handle them much easier. This is because the system helps offload some of the weight away from these cables and also helps keep them tidy when not in use.

Unlike the Kempower DC chargers, you are not able to remotely monitor your EV’s charging progress but at the very least, the interface that Tritium has used for its charger is quite user-friendly. Aside from charging duration, you can also check out your EV’s charging progress, duration, and battery level.

GWM USJ has yet to announce the charging fee that it plans to impose on its DC charger once the promotion period is over. It is also unclear what kind of payment method is supported by the charger but if we have to guess, seems like users most probably can pay through a credit or debit card since there is a payment card reader on the charger.

Not to forget, GWM USJ’s charger is currently not connected to any app. Hence, you are not able to check its availability remotely which means you have to rely on sheer luck in order to use it for now.

Nevertheless, you have until 15 October to experience the GWM USJ’s Tritium RTM 75kW DC charger for free. Do note that GWM USJ opens six days a week from 9 AM to 5 PM, so arrange your visiting time accordingly.
