OpenSys Technologies unveils first DC EV charging station in Penang

OpenSys Technologies has introduced its first Direct Current (DC) charging station for electric vehicles (EV) in Penang, Malaysia. The new station features a 40KW Falcon ChargePro charger, which includes two charging guns and a multifunction payment terminal that supports both contactless cards and QR codes.

The charging station is available exclusively to UOB Malaysia Privilege Banking (PV) customers from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, Monday to Friday. UOB PV Visa Infinite Credit and Debit Card holders can benefit from a complimentary 30-minute charging period.

Luke Sebastian, CEO of OpenSys Technologies said, “As businesses and consumers alike increasingly embrace sustainability, the shift towards EVs has gained remarkable momentum. The government’s revised target of 1,500 DC chargers, up from the initial 1,000 units outlined in the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) in 2021, underscores the growing demand for infrastructure for green transportation. OpenSys Technologies is proud to work with UOB Malaysia to provide this facility for the convenience of the Bank’s PV customers.”
