New EV road tax rate only after exemption period ends, says Loke


PUTRAJAYA: A new road tax structure for electric vehicles (EV) will only be introduced after the exemption period ends to ensure users are not unnecessarily burdened, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke.

"In 2022, the Finance Ministry provided a three-year road tax exemption to EV users, which will end in 2025, but many people (EV users) are worried that road tax charges will be very high once this ends.
