BMW Malaysia has announced its official pricing structure for its DC Fast Chargers. The official pricing structure is put in place to provide fair and adequate access to these facilities for all EV users in Malaysia.
BMW dealerships in Malaysia were some of the first to install DC fast-charging stations in the country. EV owners were once free to roll up to them and plug in, but in May this year, some dealerships started to charge for the facility.
While it has always been understood that public charging was never going to be FOC once things got rolling, it got a bit confusing when some took it upon themselves to introduce their own pricing scheme, which is determined by the management of each dealership, creating a lack of transparency and uniformity in charging costs.
Well, it seems that BMW Group Malaysia has decided to tackle this problem by standardising the prices by unveiling an official pricing structure that should apply to all of its BMW i Charging facilities nationwide.
In partnership with chargEV, BMW has officially released the pricing structure for BMW i Charging facilities to ensure a fair and standardised experience for all users in Malaysia.
Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia, Hans de Visser said, “Our vision for an Electric Future spans beyond just the expansion of our EV portfolio and infrastructure here at BMW Group Malaysia. With an official pricing structure in place, we are taking the next step in the ever-maturing EV ecosystem in Malaysia, by endeavouring to provide fair and adequate access to these facilities for all EV users in Malaysia – regardless of make and model, as electrification remains a shared responsibility amongst automakers in solving climate change.”
As released by BMW group Malaysia, there are five different price segments, each influenced by DC charger outputs and whether you are a BMW EV customer. Non-BMW EV customers are charged between 18% – 44% more depending on charger output.
