Infrastructure readiness in question even as EV popularity soars


Lee says the government needs to effectively implement its plans for more charging stations to support the anticipated strong sales of EVs.

THE rise in the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) is being witnessed and the actual take-up rate of such vehicles may well shoot past earlier conservative forecasts for 2023 that have been made by market research firms.

This is as these earlier market forecasts had mostly taken into account that the EVs launched would likely be priced at a higher price point of above RM150,000, which would make them less affordable for the mass market.
