BMW Charging, in partnership with JomCharge, provides convenient access to over 100 charging facilities throughout the city center and national highways, easy range anxiety, and offers BMW electric vehicle owners peace of mind on every journey.
The network includes the infrastructure owned by Gentari, Petrona’s green mobility and clean energy division.
All existing and new BMW EV owners are qualified to register for the BMW Charging package.
One-year non-renewable subscription’s one-time fee
The company said for a RM 640 ($145) one-time fee, this one-year non-renewable subscription is equipped with complimentary JomCharge credits worth RM 160 ($36) to offer an RM 800 ($182) total package value.
Once registered, consumers could enjoy this package as a pay-per-use service with an extra 10% discount on each charging transaction for one year.
As the operator of the JomCharge network in Malaysia, our goal is to promote greater Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) adoption in Malaysia by offering transformative, customer-centric infrastructure – which is exemplified through our extensive public charging network. This partnership with BMW – a leading premium EV automaker here, enables us to meet our ZEV adoption goals by working together to instil greater confidence amongst the public in our local electromobility ecosystem.
