Auto Bavaria has decided to expand their collaboration with DC Handal for more fast-charging facilities.

Auto Bavaria, the premier network of authorized dealerships for BMW Group Malaysia, has announced a strategic partnership with sustainable mobility solutions provider Handal Green Mobility Sdn Bhd (DC Handal). This collaboration marks a significant step towards expanding fast-charging facilities across the key regions of Klang Valley and Penang, signaling a commitment to fostering sustainable mobility solutions for the future.

The collaboration between Auto Bavaria and DC Handal leverages the unique strengths of both entities to enhance the accessibility and efficiency of electric vehicle charging. With Auto Bavaria’s extensive network of dealerships and customer touchpoints, coupled with DC Handal’s expertise in cutting-edge electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) technology, the partnership aims to establish fast-charging facilities at 10 key locations in the Klang Valley and Penang. Furthermore, plans for additional charging sites are in the pipeline, underscoring the commitment to creating a robust charging ecosystem that supports the growing adoption of electric vehicles in Malaysia.

BMW Group Malaysia has been at the forefront of advancing electric mobility, making over 1,700 charging facilities available within its network. This includes collaborations with industry leaders such as Yinson Greentech, ChargEV, JomCharge, Gentari, and new partners like Shell Recharge with ParkEasy, ChargeN’Go, ChargeSini, Go To-U, and FlexiParking. Over 100 BMW i and MINI charging facilities are already accessible at authorized dealerships and partnering venues nationwide, with more on the horizon as part of the strategic infrastructure expansion plan for the upcoming year.

As a key player in the development of EVSE technology, DC Handal specializes in providing seamless customer experiences through fast-charging solutions. With Handal Indah Sdn Bhd, the largest private public bus operator in Malaysia, as its main shareholder, DC Handal is uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in electrifying buses and meeting the evolving needs of both public and private EV mobility.

Convenient and Flexible Payment Options

To enhance user convenience, customers can seamlessly pay for charging services using credit and debit cards, as well as their electronic counterparts at OCBC payment terminals. Additionally, app-based platforms like JomCharge and ChargEV offer alternative payment options, ensuring a hassle-free and user-friendly experience for Malaysian EV owners.

The strategic partnership between Auto Bavaria and DC Handal represents a significant leap forward in the mission to revolutionize Malaysia’s electric vehicle charging landscape. By combining their strengths, the collaboration aims to create a sustainable and efficient charging infrastructure that not only supports the current EV ecosystem but also paves the way for increased adoption in the future. As Malaysia embraces the electric mobility revolution, this partnership sets the stage for a greener and more sustainable automotive future.
