PETALING JAYA: Malaysia needs to conduct more studies and implement new policies to allow for better development of the electric vehicle (EV) sector in the country, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Dr Wee, who received a courtesy call from Alpha Ess Co Ltd chief executive and cofounder Alfred Wang on Monday (June 13), said with EVs becoming more prevalent globally, it was inevitable that they enter the mainstream of development in Malaysia.
