Thinking of having An Electric Car?

EV Charging Station

As of September 2022, Bernama reported Malaysia has less than 1000 EV Charging stations. The number of electric vehicle (EVs) charging stations in Malaysia is still low, compared to the Government’s target - to install up to 10.000 public charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) in Malaysia by 2025, under the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint 2021-2030. The EVs sector is recognized as a key technology for the future of automotive power systems and investment in Malaysia’s EVs is expected to rise. Therefore, efforts to increase the number of charging stations are being done now among the government and relevant stakeholders.

Reduce carbon emissions – As the population grows, more and more vehicles will be on the road and release the carbon emissions. Therefore, EVs might play a key role in helping to reduce carbon emissions. Cheaper to run - As pure electric cars run on electricity, they do not fuel, and led to efficient cost for distance. Lower maintenance costs for some parts due to non-internal combustion engine and other parts which require ole changes. Rebates & Incentives - During 2023 Budget tabling, former Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz announced that EVs would be exempt from import and excise duties, with the exemption period being up to December 31, 2023, for fully imported (CBU) EVs, and up to December 31, 2025, for locally-assembled (CKD) EVs. All the benefits will bring good news for the car companies who are planning on bringing in EV models soon as well as car buyers who are looking for a zero-emission vehicle. However, with the rise of electric car usage, the government and all relevant stakeholders now shall think to increase the number of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. As a part of the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) 2021- 2030, the Government of Malaysia will partner with the private sector to install around 10,000 electric vehicles (EV) charging stations in Malaysia by 2025.
