For the longest time, TNB Electron Paka R&R has been the only public DC charger location in the entire state of Terengganu. Now Gentari is adding more DC chargers in the state which should help alleviate range anxiety among EV drivers. One such location is Kelab Golf Rekreasi Petronas (KGRP) which is located about 14km off the LPT2 highway (exit Plaza Tol Kerteh).
Gentari 50kW DC Charger at Kelab Golf Rekreasi Petronas
For this KGRP location, Gentari has deployed a 50kW DC Charger with two CCS2 nozzles. At the time of writing, the charger is currently configured for single nozzle use only and it can deliver up to 50kW. The charger is priced at RM1.20 per minute (RM36 for 30 minutes, RM72 for an hour).
More DC Chargers for Terengganu are coming soon
Gentari is also working on deploying more DC chargers in Terengganu. According to Plugshare, a 120kW DC charger with two CCS2 nozzles has been installed at Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP), which is 30km away Northwest of Kuala Terengganu. At the time of writing, this charger isn’t available yet and it appears to be using the same DC charger model as KGRP.
During the launch of their first solar and battery-assisted EV charging station at Behrang Layby (Northbound), It was revealed that Gentari has proposed to deploy similar EV charging solutions at Ajil and Perasing R&R sites along the LPT2 highway in Terengganu.
TNB Electron has also revealed plans to expand its DC charging stations in Terengganu. The new planned DC charging sites include R&R Paka Southbound, Kampung Gemuroh and Kg Tok Dor.
In the state capital itself, ChargeSini appears to be deploying the first DC Charger in Kuala Terengganu. A 60kW DC Charger has been installed at Mydin, Kuala Terengganu, and it is expected to go online after obtaining the necessary approvals.
