During Malaysia's chairmanship of the regional association next year, Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof announced the country's plan to double the number of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to 4,000 by 2025. The existing number of over 2,000 stations primarily located in city centers is sufficient for official vehicles during ASEAN meetings. The focus on the energy sector, including EVs, is part of Malaysia's approach to achieve sustainability. The long-term goal is to have 10,000 charging stations nationwide by 2030 and to provide incentives for EV ownership.
during Malaysia ’s chairmanship of the regional association next year, deputy prime minister Fadillah Yusof said that the number of EV charging stations in the country is expected to double to 4,000 by 2025 to support the move., Fadillah said that the existing number of over 2,000 stations – primarily located in city centres – is already sufficient to supply electricity to official vehicles for ASEAN meetings, which will also be held in cities.
“This is beneficial for the environment as it reduces carbon emissions from the transportation sector, and EVs are one of the approaches that the government is focusing on,” he said, adding that the acceleration of charging station installation would require the involvement from not only Tenaga Nasional but also the private sector.
The more ambitious target is to have 10,000 chargers, consisting of 1,500 DC and 8,500 AC chargers, by the end of 2025. This was outlined in 2021 under the– a promise that Zafrul fully intends to keep. It’s also five years ahead of the target that Fadillah himself mentioned earlier. Think about the suffering the rakyat is burdened with at the moment. Rising cost of living, public transport, education, welfare, access to public hospital, improving security etc.how do EV and its ecosystem burden you? by not emitting soot, NOx, COx, etc. for you to inhale? I am really curious here.
