Malaysia on track to build EV chargers but faces cost speed bumps in rural areas

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is on track to set up 10,000 electric vehicle charging units by next year but faces difficulties in installing them in rural areas.

Investment, Trade and Industry (Miti) Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said the current battery-electric vehicles (BEV) charging units in the country are enough to serve 31,000 EV units.
