PETALING JAYA: Zeekr Intelligent Technology Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Zeekr Malaysia) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Handal Green Mobility Sdn Bhd (DC Handal) to collaborate on offering Zeekr Power electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities nationwide.
Through the collaboration, Zeekr Malaysia aims to provide dedicated charging privileges for more than 4,000 Zeekr owners in the country by leveraging DC Handal’s expanding network of superfast direct current charging stations across strategic locations nationwide.
The chargers can dispense up to 400kW of power with the potential of supporting up to 640kW for selected chargers in the future, given its 1.2MW capacity.
The initial phase of the collaboration will focus on providing seven charging stations (minimum two charging points, with minimum 120kW output) that support Malaysia’s North–South Expressway, with plans for expansion in subsequent phases.
DC Handal has been identified as a key partner due to its rapid network expansion and strong footprint in strategically located charging corridors, making it well-positioned to support Zeekr’s infrastructure ambitions in Malaysia.
“This collaboration with Zeekr Malaysia allows us to play a central role in supporting Malaysia’s sustainable mobility sector by expanding its high-speed EV charging infrastructure and providing our customers with a speedy and seamless charging experience,” said DC Handal chief technical officer Esa Fawsal Salleh.
Zeekr Malaysia general manager Eddy Lu said, “At Zeekr, we are committed to delivering a holistic ownership experience that goes beyond the vehicle. This collaboration with DC Handal allows us to enhance our Zeekr Power ecosystem by expanding access to high-quality charging infrastructure at key locations. It is an important step towards ensuring our customers enjoy a seamless and premium electric mobility experience, whether in the city or on long-distance journeys.”
Established as a sub-brand of Zeekr Group’s energy business, Zeekr Power revolutionised the ultra-fast charging ecosystem in the 800V era. It currently operates the largest automaker-led ultra-fast charging network in China with 860 ultra-fast charging stations, 4,134 chargers as well as 1,536 fast-charging stations covering 183 cities.
DC Handal currently operates 250 charging points across Peninsular and East Malaysia.
