PLUS, Yinson GreenTech to develop EV charging, retail hub at Seremban R&R
KUALA LUMPUR: PLUS Malaysia Bhd, in partnership with Yinson GreenTech Malaysia, will develop the country's first electric vehicle (EV) charging and retail hub at the Seremban Rest and Service Area (Southbound), with completion targeted by 2027. The project follows a joint venture agreement between Terra PLUS Sdn Bhd (a subsidiary of PLUS) and Green EV Charge Sdn Bhd (a unit under Yinson GreenTech) to design, build, and manage EV charging hubs at strategic points along the North-South Expressway (NSE). In a joint statement, both parties said the first development will be at the Seremban R&R, marking a significant milestone in transforming highways into future-ready destinations that meet the evolving needs of EV users. "Through the joint venture, PLUS will lead the development and management of the Hub's commercial retail and food and beverages (F&B) components to elevate the overall user experience, whilst Yinson GreenTech will be responsible for the installation, operation, and management of EV chargers," it said. PLUS managing director Datuk Nik Airina Nik Jaffar said this collaboration marks a strategic milestone in supporting the national Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint 2030 (LCMB). "This will also support our aspirations towards a sustainable and smart highway for an enhanced travel experience for our highway customers," said Nik Airina. The hubs will accelerate Malaysia's ambition of achieving a net zero emissions target by 2050, as outlined in the National Energy Transition Roadmap and play an important role in strengthening the nation's EV infrastructure, contributing towards a reliable corridor along key travel routes. The Seremban R&R EV hub will be the first of such hubs along the NSE and is expected to be ready by 2027. To date, 112 DC fast charging points have been energised on PLUS highways, exceeding the 2025 target. In addition, Yinson GreenTech chief executive officer Lim Chern Yuan said the hubs that they are developing aim to resolve the current challenges faced by EV drivers. "With high-speed and dependable chargers deployed at critical locations nationwide, we are helping alleviate range anxiety and remove the barrier to EV adoption.
