PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is taking another step forward in promoting electric cars with the recent announcement from Transport Minister Anthony Loke which saw an 85% reduction in road tax rates for EV cars, along with special licence plate frames to follow suit.

While the majority welcome the significantly reduced road tax, there are still other facets of the EV landscape that need to be addressed.
