Malaysia on track to be electric vehicle powerhouse in Southeast Asia


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is on the right path to become an electric vehicle (EV) powerhouse in Southeast Asia with the government aggressively promoting a conducive EV ecosystem, supported by strong business commitment shown by two world-renowned automotive companies, Geely and Tesla.

Malaysian Automotive Association president Mohd Shamsor Mohd Zain said the entry of China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co, or simply Geely, and United States (US)-headquartered Tesla Inc into the Malaysian market serves as a clear indication of the country’s relevance in the regional automotive landscape.
