EVCC™ PEDAS RSA: “Toilet First. Everything Else Follows.”

Rethinking Malaysia’s Highway Experience — Starting with What Matters Most

Highway rest stops have long been defined by fuel stations, fast food, and retail kiosks. Yet for millions of travellers, none of these matter if the toilet experience is unpleasant. Long walks from the parking lot, detours through makeshift fruit stalls, and climbs up stairs or hills just to reach a basic facility — this is the unfortunate norm at many legacy rest stops across Malaysia.

At EVCC™ PEDAS RSA, we started with a bold and fundamental question: What if the toilet was not an afterthought — but the anchor?

From this question came a radical departure from convention. We reimagined the entire architecture around one principle: put the toilet first. Literally. At EVCC™ PEDAS RSA, the toilet complex sits at the core of a circular building, accessible directly from all directions. Whether you're entering from the EV charging zone, walking in from the car park, or approaching from petrol station quadrant — the first facility you encounter is a world-class restroom.

This central placement is more than symbolic. It’s strategic.

We understand that for travellers, the restroom is often the first and last touchpoint — and the one they remember most. It sets the tone for trust, cleanliness, and the perceived quality of the entire development. If the toilet fails, the whole project fails.

A Benchmark for Sanitation Infrastructure

To deliver on this vision, we benchmarked against the best — and designed beyond local expectations. The result: a spacious, well-ventilated, naturally lit, and inclusively designed toilet complex, setting a new experience.

Below is a direct comparison between EVCC™ PEDAS RSA and one of the busiest rest stops in the country, Seremban RSA:

Built for Inclusion, Designed for Dignity

The EVCC™ restroom isn’t just larger — it’s smarter. Designed with universal accessibility in mind, it includes OKU-compliant stalls with zero-barrier access, family toilets on both male and female sides, and gender-separated shower rooms for the convenience of long-haul drivers, cyclists, and EV travellers. Every component has been designed for comfort, privacy, and cleanliness.

The facility is also part of our broader ESG-driven infrastructure, featuring:

• Rainwater harvesting systems

• Natural ventilation and daylighting

• LED lighting and energy-efficient systems

• IoT-based monitoring for hygiene and supply management

This ensures not only a high-quality experience, but one that supports our long-term sustainability and operational efficiency.

Toilets That Drive Loyalty

A clean, accessible, and well-designed toilet encourages longer stops, greater comfort, and repeat visits. It enhances the perception of safety, hospitality, and overall care — especially among women, senior citizens, families with children, and disabled travellers.

Put simply, a good toilet drives footfall just as much as any major brand. At EVCC™, we believe infrastructure must be human-centric. That begins with acknowledging what people need most — and delivering it first.

Leading by Example

EVCC™ PEDAS RSA isn’t just a highway facility. It’s a new experience for how rest stops in Malaysia — and Southeast Asia — can evolve. By placing the toilet at the center of the development, both physically and conceptually, we signal a deeper commitment: to dignity, to comfort, and to putting people first.

Because in the end, the success of a highway rest stop doesn’t begin with a name or a logo — it begins with the most basic facility, done exceptionally well.
