Govt to look into ways to bring in affordable EVs — Nik Nazmi - superadmin - 12-14-2022 BANGI (Dec 14): The government will look into ways to bring affordable electric vehicles (EVs) priced below RM100,000 into the local market to benefit the people, said Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad. He said the prices of most EVs that are currently sold in the local market are beyond the means of the majority of Malaysians. "Proton will bring in Geely vehicles in the near future (but) if we can assemble the vehicles in Malaysia, maybe it will help us to offer EVs (at a) lower cost," he said at a press conference after officiating at the Bangi Golf Resort EV Charging Station launching ceremony and the handing over of the EV charging system public distribution licence by the Energy Commission here on Wednesday. - More -
