FIVE solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging stations will be installed along the North-South Expressway (NSE) by early 2020.

PLUS Malaysia Bhd managing director Datuk Azman Ismail said discussions were underway to set up the solar-powered EV charging stations, which cost RM450,000 each, at the Pagoh (southbound), Tapah (southbound), Dengkil (southbound), Gunung Semanggol (northbound) and Seremban (northbound) rest and service areas.
