EV Connection (JomCharge) and BMW dealer Tian Siang Premium Auto have launched the first DC charging station in Tanjung Tokong area on Penang Island. A total of four EV charging points have been deployed at Island 88 (formerly known as Island Plaza).
The Island 88 EV charging location has a total of four bays which consists of a 60kW DC charger and three 7kW AC charge points. These chargers are located at B1 carpark, Bay 135 to 138.
The DC charger has a CCS2 connector pushing up to 60kW and it is priced at RM1.20 per minute. The same charger also has a AC Type-2 port pushing 22kW, and it’s priced at RM6 per hour. From the photos shared on Plugshare, it appears that the 22kW AC charge point is untethered and you’ll have to bring your own Type-2 AC cable.
If you’re planning to spend a couple of hours at the location, the three 7kW AC charge points are priced at RM4 per hour.
These chargers can be activated via the JomCharge app which is available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

ChargEV has also deployed a 70kW DC Charger at Starbucks Botanica which is priced at RM1.20 per kWh.
