Charging and range
Inadequate charging infrastructure: The charging network is still developing, especially outside of major urban areas, making long-distance travel a concern.
Range anxiety: The fear of running out of charge before reaching a charging station is a significant barrier for many drivers.
Long charging times: EVs take hours to fully charge, while conventional cars take minutes to refuel.
Inconsistent charging experience: Public charging station availability and pricing can be inconsistent, complicating trip planning.

Cost and maintenance
High initial cost: The purchase price of EVs is often higher than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, even with government incentives.
Battery concerns: Issues include the cost and complexity of battery recycling and disposal, as well as potential battery safety concerns.
Maintenance and repair: Finding mechanics with EV expertise can be challenging, and some repairs might require a trip to an official service shop.
Resale value uncertainty: The second-hand market for EVs is still uncertain, which can make the long-term ownership cost less predictable.

Environmental and practical challenges
Electricity source: The overall environmental benefit depends on the source of the electricity used for charging. If electricity is generated from fossil fuels, the carbon reduction benefits are less significant.
Limited model choice: The variety of EV models available for purchase is still limited in Malaysia.
No spare tire: Many EVs do not come with a spare tire and instead include a temporary repair kit, which can be a problem in case of a flat tire during a long trip.
