Athens introduces private visits of the Acropolis for €5,000.
PETALING JAYA: While the fuel subsidy rationalisation may have sparked more interest in electric vehicles , the switch will require more than just cost savings incentives, say EV enthusiasts and experts.
While there is a drive to set up more EV stations nationwide, Shahrol Azral said there is a need to scale up EV charging infrastructure, particularly in high-rise residential and office buildings.He also said limited choices for affordable second-hand EV cars in the market is also a reason behind slower EV adoption.
“This, combined with increased competition, especially from Chinese EV manufacturers, which have driven down new EV prices significantly this year, making getting a new EV a much better option than a second-hand one,” he said.To encourage greater interest in EVs, Shahrol Azral said the government could consider providing rebates for those purchasing used EVs.
The announcement comes just prior to the diesel subsidy rationalisation, which was implemented on June 10.
