THE Johor government is encouraging the four councils under the greater Johor Baru area to switch their official petrol-fueled cars to eco-friendly electric vehicles (EVs) in the near future.

State local government and housing committee chairman Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor said the step would be in line with the Singapore government’s decision to move towards full use of EV vehicles within 10 to 20 years.
