Suruhanjaya Tenaga, or the Energy Commission of Malaysia already have such guidelines and compliance.

More details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bvv5dN441/

The Federation of Malaysia Electric Vehicle Associations urges automotive brands to properly educate new electric vehicle (EV) buyers on safe home charging, following a double-storey house fire in Cheras believed to have been caused by an EV charging setup.

​Key Industry Recommendations and Guidelines
​
- The organization highlights that high installation costs often prompt buyers to hire third-party installers, raising risks of improper wiring or uncertified charger usage.
- ​Safe home charging setups require installation by Energy Commission-certified technicians using SIRIM-approved chargers, independent miniature circuit breakers, proper wiring, and dedicated isolator switches.
- ​Automobile manufacturers need to train sales staff to deliver comprehensive charging safety briefings during vehicle handovers.
- ​Overnight home charging remains safe provided the electrical system and charger are in good condition, as certified systems automatically cut power once fully charged.
- ​EV owners should proactively seek technical installation advice and maintain a fire extinguisher near their home charger as a precaution.

What do you think of these guidelines?

“ Are EV chargers safe? ”⚡🚗

With recent EV-related incidents making people more aware of charging safety, this is an important question to ask.

But here's the thing:
EV charging safety isn't just about the charger.

Your:
✅ Electrical supply
✅ Existing electrical load
✅ Cables
✅ Protection devices
✅ Charger
✅ Installation workmanship
all work together as one system properly.

That's why a charger shouldn't simply be installed because there's a socket or an empty wall available.

Check the electrical setup first. Install second. 🔋

At IGP, we assess the whole charging system, not just the charger itself.

A 3-pin portable charger can be useful. But do not treat every socket like an EV charging point.

Portable charging is helpful for backup, travel, temporary use, or charging at another location. The problem starts when owners use any random socket for many hours without checking whether it is suitable.

EV charging is a continuous load. A kettle runs for a few minutes. An EV charger may run for six, eight or even ten hours. If the socket is worn, the plug is loose, the wiring is old, or an extension cord is used, heat can build up quietly over time.

That does not mean every portable charger is unsafe. It means the socket, wiring, circuit protection, current setting and usage duration matter.

Avoid random extension cords, multi-plug adapters, loose sockets, old outlets, or charging from points where you do not know the wiring condition. If the plug or socket feels hot, smells strange, shows discoloration, or feels loose, stop using it and get it checked.

For daily home charging, a dedicated EV charging circuit is usually the better long-term solution. The cable, protection devices, isolator, earthing and testing can be designed specifically for EV use.

Portable charging is useful. It should not become a daily shortcut around electrical safety.

Let our obsession with quality protect your safety.

Because when it comes to EV charging and electrical systems, there's no room for compromise.

Have a 13A socket at home and wondering if you can charge your EV from it? 🔌🚗

The answer isn't simply “yes” or “no.”

Portable EV chargers can be useful, especially as a backup charging option. However, the socket and electrical circuit still need to be suitable for the load and duration of charging.

EV charging is considered a continuous electrical load, meaning your vehicle may be drawing power for several hours at a time.

That's why homeowners should pay attention to:
* The condition of the 13A socket
* Plug and connection quality
* Existing wiring
* Circuit protection
* Charging current
* How long the vehicle will typically be charging

An old, loose or unsuitable socket shouldn't become your everyday EV charging solution simply because “it fits.”

The better question isn't:
“Can I plug my EV in?”

It's:
“Can my home's electrical system safely support this charging setup?”

Portable charging has its place.
But if you're charging at home regularly, a properly designed dedicated EV charging circuit may be the more appropriate long-term solution.

Last week, a fire happened while an EV was charging. 🔥🚗🔋

Naturally, many EV owners may start asking:
“Was the charger responsible?”

But we shouldn't jump to conclusions.

When an incident happens, investigators may need to examine the vehicle, charging equipment and connected electrical wiring before determining the actual cause.

So rather than guessing, homeowners should focus on something they can control:

Is your own EV charging system properly designed and installed?

Before installing or using an EV charger, consider:
* Has your home's electrical system been assessed?
* Is the charger supplied by a suitable dedicated circuit?
* Is the wiring appropriate for the intended charging load?
* Are the MCB, RCCB and other protection devices suitable?
* Has the installation been properly tested and commissioned?
* Do you have the relevant installation records?
* ⁠
An EV charger is only one part of the system.

The vehicle, charger, wiring, protection components, and home's electrical system all play a role in creating a safe and reliable charging setup.

Don't diagnose from a headline. Verify your own system

⚡ EV Charging at Home: It’s More Than Just the Charger

Recent attention surrounding an EV-related fire in Alam Damai has raised important questions about EV charging safety at home.

While investigations are still ongoing, one thing remains important: safe EV charging is not just about choosing a good charger.

Your home’s electrical supply, existing electrical load, wiring, protection devices, distribution board and charging power all need to work together safely.

🔌 A charger that can deliver more power isn’t necessarily better.
🏠 Every home has different electrical requirements.
🛡️ Proper protection and installation workmanship matter.
⚡ For some homes, Dynamic Load Balancing can help manage electrical demand.

Before installing an EV charger, the better question isn’t simply “Can I install a charger?”

It’s “Can my home’s electrical system safely support it?”

At Innovative Green Power, we believe safety starts before the charger is mounted on the wall.

Read our full article to learn what homeowners should consider before installing an EV charger.

Before accepting an EV charger quote, don't just look at the final price…

Ask these 5 questions first:
1. Was the quote based on a proper site assessment?
A proper assessment helps determine what your property actually requires.

2. What cable size and route are being used?
The cable specification and installation route should be clearly understood.

3. What protection devices are included?
Make sure the necessary protection measures are accounted for in the installation.

4. Will the system actually be tested and commissioned?
Testing and commissioning are important steps before the charger is put into use.

5. Who supports you after installation?
It's worth knowing what kind of support is available once the installation is complete.

If the answers aren't clear, don't rush into comparing the prices yet.

Two quotes may look similar on paper, but they can cover completely different electrical work.

A clear scope makes it easier to make a fair comparison.

Ever wondered why two EV charger quotes can have such different prices? 🚗🔋

It may be because you're not actually comparing the same installation

One quote might only cover the charger, cable and basic labour.
Another may include important items such as:
�* Site assessment�• Proper cable sizing�• Protection devices�• Cable routing�• Testing and commissioning

This means a cheaper quote isn't necessarily the better deal.

Before making your decision, ask:
* Is the cable size clearly stated?�• Are the protection devices included?�• Is testing included?�• What happens after installation?

⚠️ The important thing here is to compare the scope, not just the price

📲 If you're comparing EV charger quotes, send your requirements to IGP. We can help you understand what your installation actually needs.

Before you compare EV charger installation prices, check what is actually included.

Two quotes may both say 'EV charger installation', but the scope can be very different.

One quote may include only basic cable and labour. Another may include proper site assessment, cable sizing, MCB, RCCB, isolator, DB work, earthing check, testing, commissioning, warranty and support.

That is why price alone is not enough. The charger is only one part of the system. The installation behind it decides whether the charger can run safely and reliably for years.

Ask these questions before you decide: what cable size is used? What protection devices are included? Is the route clearly defined? Is this based on inspection? Will the system be tested after installation? Who supports the installation later?

A cheap quote is not automatically bad. A higher quote is not automatically good. The right quote is the one that clearly explains the scope, materials, protection and responsibility.

Let our obsession with quality protect your safety.

Because when it comes to EV charging and electrical systems, there's no room for compromise.
