Actually, if you can charge your BEV at home and don't go outstation, you'll hardly ever need public charging stations.
Outside of KL, you'll have to do some planning.
Assume a Kona EV with 470km range. You can make it from KL to JB without having to charge, and if you say at Jen Hotel you can recharge back to full in about 4 hours.
If you go Penang, you can stay at the Equatorial and top up there.
Ipoh has the 22kW BMW chargers at the Weil Hotel.
East Coast is tricky. As for now, no charging stations other than Gambang Petronas and Pekan Petronas.
I know thats why if you read fully you'd notice i said that a fully electric is fine if all your trips are within range and you charge at home daily. However you have to consider electric costs too and wattage. with TNB the premium price for electricity can approach first world if you use too much a month.
TNB charges over 50 cents per KWh on premium house rates which is why some places offer free charge points (though you still pay for parking lol) and most managed accommodations dont even provide a plug in the parking spots (high rise accommodations basically), so it can be a problem especially in the city where it would be the most effective in. We still do need aircons though and fuel consumption at standstill for normal cars are actually quite high. Even though many people argue against stop start systems when the main problem was their implementation.
We also should not be restricted to just 1 destination just because it has a charge point. Technically you should be able to recharge your EV or hybrid via a regular plug too which can be plentiful except in many parking spots.
