With the tax incentives and for environmental sustainability, electric vehicles (EVs) continue to gain popularity. Malaysia aims to have 10,000 EV charging points by 2025. However the most convenient way to charge your EV is at home if possible. In this post, we’ll explore the charging systems and highlight some of the best EV charger providers available in Malaysia.
1-Phase vs. 3-Phase Charging
1-phase charging is the most basic type of charging system, and it utilizes a single alternating current (AC) supply. In Malaysia, the standard household power supply is 240 volts and 50Hz, making it suitable for 1-phase charging. Max charging power is around 7.4 kW. This charging method is often sufficient for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) or lower-range all-electric vehicles with smaller battery packs.
On the other hand, 3-phase charging utilizes three alternating current supplies, typically at 400 volts in Malaysia. This results in a higher power output compared to 1-phase charging, making it ideal for faster charging of larger battery packs found in high-end EVs and longer-range all-electric vehicles. Max charging power is 22 kW.
Installation
It is advisable to have a certified electrician install your EV charger. Electric vehicle chargers require specific electrical circuit configuration and capacity with proper wiring to ensure safe and efficient operation. It may also be a requirement to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty.
