Move to electric vehicles unavoidable, say experts


“I believe Proton and Perodua would eventually need to transition to hybrid, plug-in hybrids or EVs. As global trends are moving towards this direction, the government would need to set the tone where policies would need to support EV, as otherwise they would (start) to lose market share,” Lee (pic) said yesterday at the Invest Asean

PETALING JAYA: Electric vehicles (EVs) will eventually get cheaper worldwide and the government should start preparing the two national car makers, namely, Proton Holdings Bhd and Perodua, for this change soon, said EV Connection Sdn Bhd’s director Lee Yuen How.

“I believe Proton and Perodua would eventually need to transition to hybrid, plug-in hybrids or EVs. As global trends are moving towards this direction, the government would need to set the tone where policies would need to support EV, as otherwise they would (start) to lose market share,” Lee said yesterday at the Invest Asean – The Rise of Asean EV organised by Maybank Investment Bank.
