  • Licensing Requirement: The Energy Commission of Malaysia (ST) mandates an Electric Vehicle Charging System (EVCS) licence for any charging setup accessible to the public, employees, or guests, even if the service is provided for free.
  • Licence Costs: Applications require a one-time processing fee of RM100. Annual renewals are either RM100 or RM0.44 per kW of installed capacity, whichever is higher, making the minimum annual fee RM100 for most standard chargers.
  • Validity and Scope: Licences are valid for 10 years and tied to specific locations. They are primarily focused on safety and technical compliance rather than physical site inspections.
  • Application Process: Applicants must submit electrical plans endorsed by a Professional Electrical Engineer. Approval typically takes approximately 30 days.
  • Penalties: Operating an unlicensed public charger is a serious violation of the Electricity Supply Act 1990. Offenders face fines of up to RM100,000 and an additional RM1,000 for each day the offence continues.
  • Exemptions: Only private, non-commercial use, such as personal home charging or corporate fleet charging on private premises, remains exempt from licensing.

  • 许可要求： 马来西亚能源委员会（ST）规定，任何向公众、员工或访客开放的电动汽车充电设施，即使是免费提供，也必须申请电动汽车充电系统（EVCS）许可证。
  • 许可费用： 申请需缴纳 RM100 的一次性手续费。年度续费费用为每年 RM100 或按装机容量每千瓦 RM0.44 计算（取高者），这意味着大多数标准充电桩的最低年费为 RM100。
  • 有效期与范围： 许可证有效期为 10 年，并绑定特定地点。审批重点在于安全与技术合规性，而非现场实地检查。
  • 申请流程： 申请人必须提交由专业电气工程师背书的电气设计图，审批过程通常需要约 30 天。
  • 处罚措施： 根据《1990 年电力供应法》，运营无证公共充电桩属于严重违法行为。违规者最高可被罚款 RM100,000，若持续违规，每日还可加罚 RM1,000。
  • 豁免情况： 仅限私人非商业用途（如个人住宅充电或公司自有车队充电）可免于申请许可证。
