Not going to happen unless the price of electric vehicles drop drastically. If the govt removes all the tax on EVs it may just help.

EV is not green in Malaysia. The fact is our majority electricity generation is using oil. Not to mention about 50% of electricity go to waste.

Other governments give incentives to go electric.. like free parking or cheaper/no/refund tax to lower the intial purchase price.. if its status quo, l guess its not feasible to go electric - unless you are super-loaded

Haha..

True.. but tats not our part.. our part is not to add to the carbon footprint n going electric does tat.. or else to use public transport..

If our country generates power from biowaste, biofuel or solar. Then I would say it's green.
I need to give my plant the biochar soon, it's carbon negative.

Would you buy a Chinese made milk powder to feed your child?

Even the Korean can hardly impact the market here let alone the Chinese. How many Great Wall can you see on the road?

that is not electric car lah. Only "Energy Efficient Vehicle".

That is very good. However the target goal can be achieve if proton and perodua are ready to make EV cars.

I think a more realistic comparison of cost to run is captured in this article,

Many would buy Chinese electronics and mobile phones when the pricing is reasonable. Besides, what if it looks like below:




Kinda of looks like a certain German, right? Incidentally, Beijing Benz, a BAIC joint venture with German automaker Daimler AG, makes the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and E-Class models for sale in China .

I still suspect the recent proposal request by Proton to selected foreign partners including Renault has soneth8ng to do with EV, Proton Zoe?

where are those charging stations?

And government wants less car going to the city, meaning less reason to buy expensive electric car and let it sit at the pouch.

I think 100,000 hybrids on the road plus Euro4M only fuel can be sold is more realistic.

Full charge vs 10mins charge is a huge difference.
How long it took for a EV car to be fully charged?
How much time the user willing to spend at the charging station?
And how safe is the EV car during accidents impact?
A battery leak can lead to explosions.

Existing one , looks here

New one should be at R&R of major highways. Beyond that only Greentech Corp has all the answers

It's look hideous. Its a knock off B class. Car is a completely different segment here. How much is a smartphone cost and how much is a car cost?

The list is here

You can also download the NewMotion app from AppStore and Google Play, the information in there is more up-to-date and it will even tell you if the charger is occupied

The usage pattern of an EV is very different from an ICE.

The EV is typically fully charged overnight when it is parked at home (easier in landed property, tricky in condos) and for normal, urban use, does not need to be topped up during the day.

You never have to visit a petrol station!

For long-distance driving, there has to be some planning and battery management.

The EV should be topped up just enough to get it to the next charging station, not driven until empty (this is the biggest difference in driving behaviour between ICE and EV)

The fast 22kW chargers at the 66 locations along the highway is able to add around 120km of distance per hour of charging, so if the next charging station is around 60km away (not unrealistic given that there are 66) then you spend 30mins at the charger, just nice to stretch your legs, toilet break, maybe even a cup of coffee.

Re: Safety, you can google and see what the risks are. They're pretty safe, otherwise authorities would not let them be sold, amirite?

Petrol cars can also explode and burn down as we have seen numerous times. Depends on the counterfactual.

TNB tariffs are driven by fuel (gas, coal in Peninsular) prices la bro.

Difference is that to "top up" a 30kWh Nissan Leaf costs around RM0.40 x 30 = RM12 which can take you around 300km.

PS - the target will also include Plug-In Hybrids (ones that have petrol or diesel engines to supplement the battery) and also electric bicycles and motorcycles.
