BMW Malaysia expands fast-charging network, now in Ipoh and Butterworth

BMW Group Malaysia today unveiled two new DC Fast Chargers at Tian Siang Premium Auto Butterworth and Tian Siang Premium Auto Ipoh, as part of the charging infrastructure expansion strategy that complements Malaysia’s commitment towards accelerating the adoption of electrified mobility.

Hans de Visser, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “Our expansion plans for our network of charging infrastructure in Malaysia has been a success thus far, having made available 8 BMW i Charging facilities at various authorised BMW dealerships in the first quarter of 2022 alone.

By tackling common pain points of electric vehicle (EV) ownership in tandem with our electro-offensive this year, we are hopeful that the local perspective on electromobility will shift for the better.”

Tan Ka Kin, Dealer Principal of Tian Siang Premium Auto added, “As an authorised BMW i dealer in the northern region of Malaysia, we are thrilled to provide even more accessibility to not only our customers but the growing community of EV owners in Penang and Perak.

The addition of these new DC Fast Chargers at our own dealerships allows us to further deliver the Premium Ownership Experience to our customers here, on top of the many BMW i charging facilities we have previously made available, in partnership with BMW Group Malaysia, across the northern region.”

Now available for public use, the new DC Fast Chargers at Tian Siang Premium Auto Butterworth and Tian Siang Premium Auto Ipoh feature dual DC outlets (CCS) capable of up to 120kw.
