KUALA LUMPUR: BMW Group Malaysia and Tian Siang Premium Auto (Tian Siang) added three new BMW i Charging facilities in Penang.
"The three new BMW i Charging facilities are added to the ten existing facilities we introduced previously across Ipoh and Penang.
"As we continue to grow the charging infrastructure in these states we look forward to strengthening the confidence in Electrified Mobility – to which we have seen progressively grow in the past few years," said Tian Siang Premium Auto dealer principal Tan Ka Kin.
The three new facilities are located at The Prestige Hotel in George Town and the Light Hotel in Seberang Jaya. Tian Siang Premium Auto has previously introduced BMW i Charging facilities at WEIL Hotel and the Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat in Ipoh, including Gurney Paragon Mall and Iconic Hotel in Penang.
"There is no better time than now for our hotel to facilitate this lifestyle change for the current generation. We hope to appeal to guests and future business prospects with a sustainable business practice that benefits the environment by providing BMW i Charging facilities here," The Light Hotel general manager Raj Kumar.
The Prestige Hotel general manager Melvin Ooi added he is thrilled for the collaboration as it answers to a growing demand amongst their customers for charging infrastructure.
"We have been working closely with our network of dealers as well as key stakeholders leading up to the introduction of BMW i in 2015 to ensure the necessary charging infrastructures are in place for the acceleration of electromobility in the country," said BMW Group Malaysia managing director Hans de Visser.
"We at BMW believe that the future is electric, and it is a shared responsibility between all parties including our dealer partners such as Tian Siang Premium Auto to keep driving electrified mobility forward in Malaysia."
