Market Impact
The standalone unit, with two CCS2 nozzles, is priced at RM1.50 per kWh and accepts contactless card payments at the JuiceUP terminal without an app. For the first day of operation, TNB Electron offered free charging from midnight to 11:59 p.m. on 15 August 2026.
The site adds to TNB Electron’s network, which already includes its largest EV charging hub in Penang. The operator said the McDonald’s location provides a convenient stop for drivers to charge while they eat.
The move supports Malaysia’s push to expand public charging infrastructure ahead of rising EV uptake.
