Perkasa Realty to Add EV Chargers in Sabah Rural Projects

What happened

Perkasa Realty Sdn Bhd (PRSB) said on Aug 26 it will install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in all new rural development projects in Sabah.

General manager Mat Saidi Minting said the initiative is part of new components in the company's development plans.

Why it matters

PRSB is among the first property developers to bring EV infrastructure to rural Sabah, where charging points are almost nonexistent.

The move reflects a broader trend of adding future-ready amenities outside urban centers.

Impact on Sabah

Rural communities will get access to EV charging, which could encourage adoption in underserved areas.

The initiative may also support Sabah's sustainability and tourism goals, as rural routes become more accessible to EV drivers.

Company strategy

PRSB is integrating the charging stations as a long-term strategy to meet expected demand for electric mobility.

The company did not disclose the number of stations or investment figures.

Industry context

Some Malaysian developers are adding green features, but rural EV infrastructure remains rare.

PRSB's move could set a benchmark for rural property development in East Malaysia.

Outlook

PRSB's plan aligns with national EV adoption targets and may attract eco-conscious buyers.

More details on timelines and charger specifications are expected in future announcements.
