Porsche Asia Pacific and Shell have struck up a new partnership to implement the first cross-border high-performance charging (HPC) network between Malaysia and Singapore. The network will help eliminate range anxiety for electric vehicle (EV) owners who wish to travel between Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Penang.
The partnership demonstrates the commitment between Porsche and Shell to drive the future of electric mobility in Southeast Asia by spearheading connectivity between the two countries.
In case you didn’t know, Malaysia and Singapore handle one of the world’s busiest international land border crossings at the Sultan Iskandar Building and Woodlands Checkpoint.
Six Shell stations strategically located along the North-South Highway will be equipped with 180 kW direct-current (DC) chargers, these are the highest charging capacity.
The chargers come with two CCS Type 2 charging connectors that will allow a single vehicle to be charged up to 180 kW, or two vehicles to charge simultaneously at up to 90 kW each.
Shell and Porsche are planning to roll out the plan in stages with 4 stations planned to be ready in the second half of 2021 while another 2 additional stations by the first half of 2022.
The sites will be integrated into the existing Shell charging networks, comprising 18 Shell Recharge 50 kW fast-charge points at Shell stations and 87 Greenlots public charge points in Singapore, as well as 18 “Reserve + Shell Recharge” charge points in Malaysia.
Furthermore, they will complement the established 175kW high-performance chargers available at all Porsche Centres in Malaysia, as well as the growing “Porsche Destination Charging” network at selected hotels, airports, sports clubs, and other lifestyle venues.
Once launched, the chargers will be available for all EVs that utilise the CCS Type 2 charging connector, which is widely used across both countries.

With ICE cars soon to become history, how long can we get affordable performance EVs? For car enthusiasts, there’re plenty of inexpensive fun cars to drive. However, the modern EVs seem not to suffice our needs. They’re bulky and expensive (just look at Tesla). Though Porsche Taycan has proved EVs also could be fun to drive, the price is SUUUUPER expensive, absolutely out of reach for most of us. So, when will we get affordable performance EVs?

997 GT2 RS Only three has landed in Malaysia. This particular unit made a surprise appearance at Teas and Tires V5 back in March. The GT2 RS had made its debut in 2007 at Frankfurt Motor Show. Even by today's standards, this 612bhp beast is still relatively fast, requires only 3.6 seconds to hit 100km/h from standstill and reach 328km/h. Hence, making it the third Porsche roadcar to hit the 200mph (322km/h) barrier.

Continental Cruiser. The one Porsche that you need it when you want to travel long distance with style and covering it at high speed concurrently. As mentioned before, the 911 Turbo S has 552bhp and 700Nm of torque. However, this comes at the expense that it is the most expensive 911 Turbo across the range and purist might find it a little too clinical for handling.
