After over 6 months of waiting, the EV chargers at Mid Valley Megamall and The Gardens Mall deployed by Gentari and JomCharge are finally online. However, only the AC charge points are available as the respective DC chargers are still wrapped up. This brings the total of AC charge points in the vicinity to 7 including the existing three charge points by ChargEV.
As reported previously, Gentari and JomCharge have deployed a mini EV charging hub consisting of two 11kW AC charge points and one 50kW DC charge point located at the basement carparks for both malls. Similar to the Suria KLCC chargers, these EV chargers are priced by time but at a more affordable rate.
Mid Valley Megamall and The Gardens Mall EV charging rates
The AC chargers which can deliver up to 11kW each are priced at RM0.10 per minute (RM6 per hour). If you can get the maximum 11kW rate and receive approximately 11kWh in an hour, that’s roughly RM0.55 per kWh.
However, if your EV uses a single-phase on-board charger like the BYD Dolphin, BYD Atto 3, BYD Seal or Ora Good Cat, you would only get about 3.3kW from these chargers. Assuming you could get 3.5kWh in an hour, that’s effectively RM1.70 per kWh
Users with Genteri Annual Membership can enjoy 50% off for these chargers. With the membership applied, it would only cost you RM0.05 per minute (RM3 per hour). These chargers can be activated via JomCharge, Gentari Go and ChargEV apps. If you have poor mobile reception in the basement carpark, both locations are provided with free WiFi so that you can activate your EV charging session. The WiFi SSID and password are printed on the charger.
