VEP for EV Owners: A Guide to Charging on the North-South Expressway

Driving an electric vehicle (EV) from Singapore to Malaysia is no longer a pioneering feat; it's becoming a mainstream reality. With a valid VEP, your EV is ready to explore. But one question remains top of mind for many owners: "Where can I charge my car?"

A successful EV road trip is all about planning. Unlike petrol stations, you can't just pull into any R&R (Rest & Recuperation) area and expect to find a high-speed charger... yet.

• PlugShare: A crowd-sourced map showing almost all public chargers, with user reviews and check-ins. Invaluable for checking if a charger is working.
• JomCharge & ChargEV: These are two of the largest network operators in Malaysia. You'll need their apps to activate and pay for charging sessions.
• R&R Ayer Keroh (Northbound & Southbound)
• R&R Pagoh (Northbound & Southbound)
• R&R Tapah (Northbound & Southbound)

Worried about the VEP application for your new EV? Don't be. The process is identical to that of a petrol car, and the experts at MyMechanic can manage the entire application for you.
