As Malaysia charges ahead with its electric vehicle ambitions, Autel Energy has emerged as a driving force behind the nation’s infrastructure development. A global leader in EV charging solutions with operations in 79 countries, Autel Energy specialises in smart, scalable charging infrastructure.
The global EV charging leader now commands an impressive 18% share of Malaysia’s DC fast charger market, thanks to its relentless focus on reliability, innovation, and strategic local partnerships.
The Game-Changing MaxiCharger DH480
At the heart of Autel’s Malaysian expansion is the revolutionary MaxiCharger DC Series DH480 All-in-One Charger. This powerhouse delivers industry-leading performance with its ability to provide up to 1km of range per second – a critical feature for drivers accustomed to petrol station convenience.
What truly sets it apart is its intelligent design. The charger boasts a remarkable 99% and above success rate by leveraging Autel’s global EV database to instantly match power output to each vehicle’s needs, eliminating the frustrating “handshake” delays common with other chargers.
Henry He, Autel’s APAC Regional CEO, explains: “Our technology doesn’t just charge vehicles – it understands them. By combining our two decades of automotive expertise with real-time AI optimisation, we’re delivering what Malaysian drivers want most: speed and reliability.”
The DH480’s future-proof architecture addresses Malaysia’s unique infrastructure challenges. Its compatibility with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) provides a lifeline for areas with unstable grids, while dual connectivity (fibre-optic primary with cellular backup) ensures uninterrupted operation.
Strategic Partnerships Powering Progress
Autel’s local success stems from collaborations with Malaysia’s charging pioneers. As Henry He, Autel’s APAC CEO, explained in the interview, “We position ourselves as a technology company. For each country we work with selected partners… They know the local customer better than us.”
Autel’s existing partnership with DC Handal demonstrates how customised solutions overcome Malaysia’s infrastructure challenges. The partners are preparing to deploy a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)-integrated charging solution in 2025.
“Having a Battery Energy Storage System allows us to store the right amount of energy for the right time,” explains Esa Fawsal Salleh, CTO of DC Handal. “At temporary sites like mall car parks where permanent infrastructure isn’t feasible, this modular solution gives us flexibility – we can expand the system later or relocate components as needed.”
The partnership has already demonstrated impressive results at their Bamboo Hills pilot site. “Between our three chargers sharing 400 amps, the Intelligent Matrix system doesn’t just react – it’s aware,” Salleh notes. “When a vehicle with larger battery capacity plugs in, the AI instantly reallocates power to optimise charging speeds while preventing grid overload.”
Autel’s new partnership with ChargeEV brings a different but equally important dimension to Malaysia’s charging ecosystem. “We chose Autel after seeing their reliability firsthand in Singapore,” says Puvanendren M. Maniam, COO of ChargeEV. “Their 98% uptime guarantee was critical for our decision – downtime directly impacts both customer satisfaction and our revenue.”
The upcoming network of 19 stations will feature Autel’s user-friendly designs. “The large interactive screens provide real-time feedback that prevents many support calls before they happen,” Maniam explains. “When you combine this with multiple payment options and modular hardware that enables fast repairs, you get stations that drivers can truly depend on.”
The Road Ahead
With the DH480 now available and Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) ready for Malaysia’s future heavy-duty EVs, Autel is positioned to lead the next phase of the country’s electrification journey. The company’s unique combination of global R&D resources and local support creates a compelling value proposition for Malaysia’s growing EV ecosystem.
As Henry He concludes, “We’re not just installing chargers – we’re building confidence in Malaysia’s electric future. Every innovation, from our AI optimisation to our disaster-proof connectivity, is designed to make EV ownership as seamless as possible.”
