Balik kampung season is officially here, but for many Malaysians, the festive joy is being dampened by the sting at the fuel pumps. With RON95 climbing to RM3.27 and Diesel hitting RM3.92 per litre this week, the traditional road trip is getting expensive.
However, if you’re behind the wheel of a Proton e.MAS, your journey just got a whole lot cheaper. PRO-NET has launched the ‘Jalinkan Raya Bersama Proton e.MAS’ campaign, turning the EV ownership experience into a massive cost-saving tool.
To ensure you don’t leave money on the table, here is your essential "Balik Kampung" checklist to maximize your savings.
Proton e.MAS 5Don’t just plug in and pay full price. From now until March 25, you get 25% off charging fees across the PRO-NET ecosystem.
The Move: Use the Proton e.MAS App or the Hello smart App to find your chargers.Why it matters: With access to over 4,300 charging points nationwide, you don’t need 10 different apps. One app gives you the discount across 10 different operators (CPOs).Pro-Tip: Ensure your charging session completes before the 25th to lock in the discounted rate displayed in the app.2. The "3S Sanctuary" Stopover
Before you hit the highway, make a pitstop at any of the 36 authorized Proton e.MAS 3S Centres.
Long-distance travel in an EV is smooth, but safety is paramount. PRO-NET is offering Free Vehicle Inspections until March 31.
The Savings: A pre-travel check designed to prepare your EV for the rigors of long-distance festive travel and to be able to operate at its peak efficiency in the Malaysian heat wave.Future Payoff: Completing your visit earns you an RM50 discount voucher for your next official service. It’s literally free money for your car’s future maintenance.4. Navigation & Range Planning
Don’t guess where the chargers are. Chief Information Officer (CIO) Sua Chek Hoong of PRO-NET highlighted the integrated charging map for a reason.
The Strategy: Use the app to filter for "DC Fast Chargers" along your specific route (e.g., PLUS Highway stops).The Goal: Aim for "Short Sprints", charge for 20 minutes while you grab a Lemang, rather than waiting for a full 100% charge.At a Glance: Your Raya Savings SummaryBenefit
