Hi all
As fuel subsidies will be removed soon, there is tendency people will switch to non-petrol car... as EV car and infrastructure started a year plus and take years to mature ... what's your thought on hybrid cars like Honda, Toyota? Will you see a jump on sales on hybrid cars during this transition ?
Cheers
When EV is merely a 1.3% of Malaysia car market share, do we really have insufficient Charging infrastructure issues?As fuel subsidies will be removed soon, there is tendency people will switch to non-petrol car... as EV car and infrastructure started a year plus and take years to mature ... what's your thought on hybrid cars like Honda, Toyota?

So far, living in KL and travelling daily , I only seen once a Tesla need to wait for a charging spot, while most non Tesla charging spot are empty 99.9% of the time
As far as Toyota hybrid and Honda are concerned, let us put these arguments in perspective
When petrol price jumped in Thailand or Indonesia, did we see a big jump In hybrid sales there?

I don't see a significant increase, from 2022 to 2023, do you?
Meanwhile, BKK Auto show tell u , what to expect....

The reason is simple : Thailand government gives no subsidy for hybrid.
Unless Malaysian government change stands and gives incentives for hybrids , I don't see any stimulus for hybrid sales from petrol price jump . alone.
FYI, Malaysia government did incentives hybrid once... But no more

And I don't think they will change the stand.
Now let's look at Indonesia

Again you will only see incentives for BEV , sorry not hybrid.
Giving incentives create the difference and partially in certain cases, governments are not the culprit, sometimes it is automakers who refuse help...
