EVCC™ Pedas RSA : Malaysia’s First ESG-Centric Roadside EV Hub Along PLUS Expressway

As Malaysia charts its course toward electrified mobility, EVCC™ Pedas RSA emerges as the nation’s first privately developed EV hub along the PLUS Expressway—setting a bold new standard for roadside development that integrates sustainability, smart mobility, and commercial activation.

Strategically located at KM241 Southbound, this purpose-built EV mobility node is not only ESG-aligned and targeted for Platinum Rated GreenRE certification, but it is also reimagining how expressway rest areas serve future-ready users—with fluid ingress, efficient circulation, and branded high-throughput drive-thru retail.

Seamless Ingress from the Highway

The site is uniquely positioned along a high-visibility curve of the PLUS Expressway, with:

• Dedicated ingress road directly descending from the elevated highway embankment

• Structurally landscaped slope with green buffers and retaining walls, offering a visually inviting transition into the rest area

• Clear vehicular flow design that separates long-stay parking from quick-stop traffic zones

  
  

Future-Forward Roadside Development Design

Anchoring the development are three sleek, elongated capsule-shaped drive-thru buildings, meticulously aligned for maximum throughput and architectural efficiency.

Key Features:

• Each unit features dedicated turning lanes and queuing zones for frictionless entry and exit

• Tenants include McDonald’s, Tealive, and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, forming a robust QSR cluster

• Concrete roofing ensures structural integrity, with rooftop mechanicals and vents tucked within a minimalist silhouette

• Drive-thrus are set on paved surfaces optimized for high vehicle volume and queue management

The alignment of the buildings and the modular road layout ensure the site supports up to two simultaneous drive-thru lanes per brand, dramatically improving wait times and operational efficiency.

ESG + Platinum Rated GreenRE Sustainability

Beyond retail and mobility, EVCC™ Pedas RSA is engineered as a green infrastructure benchmark, targeting Platinum Rating under the GreenRE certification.

This includes:

• A 500,000-litre rainwater harvesting system, designed for flushing and landscape irrigation

• A bi-facial solar photovoltaic roof over the central building, integrated with siphonic drainage

• Passive cooling and daylighting to reduce HVAC dependency

• Low-impact materials, LED lighting, and EV-first zoning principles

As a next-generation ESG asset, EVCC™ Pedas RSA offers measurable environmental performance for investors, tenants, and public stakeholders alike.

A True EV Hub on the PLUS Expressway

Positioned as the anchor node for Malaysia’s Electric Vehicle Charging Corridor, EVCC™ Pedas RSA integrates:

• Tesla Superchargers and Gentari 350kW fast chargers

• Zoned parking for EVs

• Full-service ICE refueling support via Petronas and Shell (adjacent)

  
  

The multi-modal, all-in-one mobility configuration ensures all vehicle types—from e-hatchbacks to hybrid SUVs—are supported in a single ESG-certified roadside hub.

✅ Conclusion: More Than a Rest Stop - A Scalable Green Mobility Destination

EVCC™ Pedas RSA is not a conventional R&R—it is Malaysia’s first Platinum Rated GreenRE EV hub designed for the demands of modern highway users. With direct ingress from the PLUS Expressway, elongated drive-thru configurations, and ESG-centric infrastructure, it marks a paradigm shift in roadside development for the electric age.

As the first of many sites planned under the EVCC™ brand, Pedas RSA leads the way in shaping the future of

EV infrastructure—where mobility meets sustainability, and every stop drives impact.
