Melaka, 19 February 2024 — EVPower, a subsidiary of Elitesoft Group, has launched Melaka's inaugural solar-powered EV charging hub. The new facility comprises 10 charging bays equipped with both DC and AC chargers, reflecting EVPower's dedication to innovation, reliability and a sustainable future.
A network that tracks national targets
Established in mid-2023, EVPower has rapidly deployed over 30 operational EV charging points, aligning with the Malaysian government's vision of 10,000 nationwide charging points by 2025 under the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) for 2021–2030. The company targets 200 operational charging points by the end of 2024.
In collaboration with Melaka Green Tech Corporation (MGTC/PTHM), EVPower aims to deploy EV chargers across the state, starting with tourist hotspots as part of the "Visit Melaka 2024" campaign. Beyond infrastructure, the company supports the initiative with expertise and a commitment to sustainable practice, with a minimal goal of determining and deploying 20 potential sites within the calendar year.
Solar power with battery energy storage
The hub features battery energy storage technology that ensures a consistent, clean, renewable energy supply for EV owners. Recent collaborations with Shenzhen Sinexcel Electric Co., Ltd and Nanjing Starship Intelligent Storage Technology Co. Ltd position EVPower to grow its Malaysian business by leveraging shared resources and technical expertise in electric-technology products and renewable-energy projects.
Pay by card — no app needed
The launch highlights EVPower's card-payment solution through JuiceUP, a subsidiary of PAIDChain Sdn Bhd: the first comprehensive EV charging payment terminal in Malaysia. Users can "juice up" by tapping a Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card — no multiple apps required — with e-wallet integration in progress and expected by Q3 2024. Scanning a QR code lets owners monitor their session remotely and download a digital receipt afterwards.
CIMB credit and debit cardholders receive an exclusive 15% discount at the flagship hub, valid until the end of 2024 (T&C apply).
EVPower plans to expand to Kuala Lumpur and southern Johor in 2024, with nationwide expansion to follow. High-powered DC charging stations along the North–South highway are in the pipeline, with details to be announced.
