Audi e-tron Buyers Will Get Free Home Chargers

In August 2021 there was a plan by MARii and PEKEMA to improve the country’s EV charging infrastructure. After the article was published in our www.dsf.my, many industry insiders came forward with information about the current state of Malaysian EV infrastructure.

Today, the two above entities have stopped putting up new charging stations and they have also quietly ignored all their promises to their many Tesla and other luxury electric car buyers. A typical move by PEKEMA members. Nothing surprising here.

To further enhance the ownership experience, all models come with the mobile e-tron Charging System Compact, to provide charging convenience, no matter the location.

The system consists of an intelligent compact charger and power cables – one that plugs into the vehicle and the other to the standard household power socket with an output of 1.8kW to 2.3 kW, or via a three-phase power supply with an output of 11 kW.

Charging can be set to 100 and 50 percent charging power on the charging unit to avoid potentially overloading the home’s electrical system.

As an additional benefit, owners will also receive complimentary RM1,000 JomCharge credits with a validity period of one year. 

Introduction of MOON POWER into Malaysia 

PHSAM has partnered with European energy solutions provider, MOON POWER to further support charging solutions for e-tron owners in the country. MOON POWER is a subsidiary of Porsche Holdings Salzburg (PHS), and this marks the brand’s first entry in a country out of Europe.

Customers will be given the added option of purchasing MOON POWER wallbox chargers in 11 kW and 22 kW variants, beginning September 2023. Each MOON POWER unit undergoes strict quality control to meet the charging and safety requirements of Audi.

In preparation for the launch, all three Audi Centres in Glenmarie, Setia Alam and Juru have been fitted with MOON POWER, with each Centre providing three AC 22 kW chargers and one DC 180 kW charger. These Centres will offer charging, exclusively for Audi e-tron owners.

All Audi e-tron models come standard with 2 years unlimited mileage warranty, 8 years or 160,000 km battery warranty, and 5 years’ complimentary roadside assistance.

Customers may opt for the Audi Assurance Package (AAP) which offers 3 additional years of warranty and 3 years maintenance at 15,000km service intervals.
