Athens introduces private visits of the Acropolis for €5,000.
KUALA LUMPUR: Local council parking fees may be waived for electric vehicles entering cities in a move to encourage the use of EVs, says Nga Kor Ming.
“We are currently studying the possibility of giving parking exemptions for EVs as a push factor for more people to buy them rather than traditional fossil fuel cars,” he told reporters after attending the Asean-China Ministerial Roundtable on Construction and Housing here yesterday.He cited London as an example where a congestion fee of about RM90 per entry is imposed on non-EV cars entering the city while EVs are exempted from parking fees.
The plates, Loke said, would help the Fire and Rescue Department easily identify EVs in case of accidents. On a separate matter, the minister said China had voiced its support for Malaysia’s bid for the presidency of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, or UN Habitat, in 2025.Nga also said that Malaysia will be hosting the Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on Housing and Urban Development in Penang next year, which will be attended by 59 countries.
