Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) and TNB Electron have started an EV charging pilot at Maybank Academy in Bangi, Selangor.
This is TNB Electron’s first project with a financial institution.
Maybank said the pilot grew from its wider sustainability and energy-transition work with Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB). It also built on the bank’s support for TNB’s Transition Finance Framework, taking the relationship beyond financing and into a physical charging site.
Under the pilot, TNB Electron, a TNB subsidiary, would install, operate and maintain the chargers, while Maybank provides the location.
Both parties said the Bangi site could become the template for similar rollouts if the pilot performs well.
Maybank president and group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Khairussaleh Ramli said the project was part of the bank’s “ROAR30 New Economy” pillar, which covers urban and smart city initiatives.
He said Maybank had disbursed more than RM1bil in EV and qualified hybrid financing in 2025, and added that charging access still remained a key issue for buyers considering a switch.
TNB president and chief executive officer Datuk Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan said TNB Electron had installed more than 260 charging points nationwide.
He said the collaboration with Maybank would strengthen TNB Electron’s role in supporting Malaysia’s EV ecosystem.
Maybank Academy is the bank’s training and learning centre for staff development, leadership programmes and corporate training activities.
