‘Long road ahead for EV charging stations in condos’


Electric dream: The number of EV users is expected to hit 10,000 nationwide by year-end. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star

PETALING JAYA: Despite the government’s ambitious roadmap to have 10,000 Electric Vehicle Charging Bays (EVCBs) nationwide by 2025, including in high-rise properties, there remain barriers to getting EV charging stations into residential buildings.

Federation of Malaysia Electric Vehicle Associations president Datuk Seri Jason Lee said many condominium boards and management bodies are still against having EVCBs, thus denying EV car owners the convenience of charging at home.
