Setting up EV chargers in rural areas a challenge, says Tengku Zafrul

WHILE Malaysia is on track to set up 10,000 charging units for electric vehicles by next year, there are challenges ahead in putting up the same facilities in rural areas, says Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz.

The Investment, Trade and Industry Minister said the cost of constructing or installing public EV chargers, especially the DC or fast chargers, is high especially in rural areas.
