Silver: DC Handal

The only DC-oriented CPO in the country and the pioneer of debit/credit card-based payment for EV charging, it is all about scale for DC Handal.

As an example, the CPO demonstrate how EV chargers can be set up much faster than a traditional petrol station by deploying three high-speed EV changer hubs at the West Coast Expressway (WCE). DC Handal has also upgraded its hub in Johor Premium Hub which now has a total of 12 high-speed charging bays.

As if it is not enough, the CPO is now in the midst of deploying 28 DC changing points at its upcoming hub at Mall of Medini in Iskandar Puteri, Johor. However, there was one major move earlier this year that really helped seal its place in our inaugural CPO of The Year winner’s list: the deployment of DC charger in Gua Musang, Kelantan.  

While it was just a low-powered 47kW DC charger, it was deemed as a landmark move due to the importance and popularity of Gua Musang within the KL – Kota Bharu route. All of sudden, the route now seems viable for owners of EVs with sub-400km of range.
