If You Missed Ionity and Fastned, Don’t Miss This

Southeast Asia’s EV Superhighway Is Taking Shape — and EVCC™ Is Leading the Charge

Just a few years ago, Europe's electric vehicle (EV) charging networks were seen as speculative ventures. Ionity was an experiment, backed by a consortium of German automakers. Fastned, the Dutch startup with signature yellow canopies, quietly deployed charging stations on Europe’s motorways while few paid attention. Today, both have become billion-euro platforms — and their early investors are now sitting on infrastructure assets with both yield and relevance in the global green economy.

Those who recognized the formula early — the convergence of traffic flow, energy infrastructure, consumer retail, and ESG incentives — secured stakes in assets now central to national mobility strategies.

If you missed that moment in Europe, don’t miss the next one — now unfolding in Southeast Asia.

Because EVCC™ is doing what Ionity and Fastned did — only in a region with 650 million people, no legacy EV infrastructure saturation, and faster regulatory momentum than most Western markets ever had.

A New Class of Rest Stop — Engineered for Capital and Carbon

Malaysia’s EV transformation is no longer speculative — it’s underway. Tesla has entered the market. BYD is opening showrooms. Proton’s e.MAS is on the horizon. EV sales are doubling year-on-year. But while demand surges, the infrastructure to support it is trailing far behind.

This is where EVCC™ steps in — developing Southeast Asia’s first private-sector EV-centric Rest & Service Area (RSA) network. These aren’t retrofitted petrol stations. They’re master-planned, green-certified commercial infrastructure nodes, built for longevity, investor returns, and national impact.

At the center of this strategy is EVCC™ Pedas RSA, currently under construction and set to open in Q1 2026.

Inside EVCC™ Pedas RSA: A Scalable, Yield-Ready Prototype

Located at KM241 (Southbound) on the PLUS North-South Expressway — Malaysia’s busiest long-haul corridor — Pedas RSA is engineered to become the region’s most advanced EV infrastructure asset. And more importantly, it's a repeatable model for a corridor-wide rollout.

Key highlights include:

• 24 high-power EV chargers: Featuring 12 Tesla Superchargers and 12 Gentari 350kW HPCs

• GreenRE Platinum–certified main building, designed for energy efficiency and low-carbon operation

• A curated commercial village: Food & beverage, convenience retail, surau, family rest zones, and secure public amenities

• Dual-access strategy: Entry from both expressway and local municipal roads — expanding the commercial catchment beyond travelers to local populations and institutions

  
  

This is not just a charging facility. It’s a high-traffic, multi-use infrastructure platform — generating revenue through charging, tenant leasing, and optimized dwell-time monetization.

Why EVCC™ Is Structurally Stronger Than Ionity or Fastned

While Ionity relies heavily on OEM partners and Fastned often leases land, EVCC™ controls both land and development rights. This foundational advantage allows for higher operating margins, stronger asset appreciation, and greater flexibility to adapt the commercial mix site by site.

The economics in Malaysia — and across Southeast Asia — are inherently more favorable:

• Lower per-site development cost

• Higher vehicle traffic per kilometer

• Minimal competition in EV highway charging

• Greater ability to bundle multiple monetization streams (charging, F&B, retail, data)

  
  

Where Europe now faces saturation and competition, Malaysia is in Phase One — and EVCC™ is leading the curve by several years.

What Institutional Investors and Billionaires Should Recognize

When Temasek backed Ionity, and when global funds entered platforms like EVgo and ChargePoint in the U.S., they weren’t simply investing in chargers. They were investing in the grid edge — in scalable, carbon-linked infrastructure that monetizes predictable traffic through recurring commercial layers.

That’s precisely what EVCC™ represents.

It’s a multi-layered platform combining:

• Expressway volume = guaranteed footfall

• EV charging infrastructure = energy-driven revenue

• Retail tenancy = real estate-style leasing yield

• ESG credentials = compliance with global green mandates

• Land ownership = long-term capital appreciation

• Policy alignment = investment protection and upside support

  
  

This is not an F&B project. It’s not a property play. It is a converged infrastructure asset — part energy, part retail, part real estate, part mobility.

The Window Is Now

EVCC™’s first site is fully funded. Land is secured. Construction is advancing. Regulatory approvals are aligned. Demand is real — and growing. Additional RSA sites are in advanced planning across the PLUS Expressway and beyond.

The opportunity now is to join before the network scales. Early participation offers access to both capital appreciation and recurring yield, with embedded ESG and national infrastructure impact.

Europe’s EV infrastructure pioneers proved what was possible. EVCC™ is showing what comes next — in a larger, earlier-stage, and higher-margin market.
