Previously, we shared that Perodua will produce the first affordable electric vehicle (EV) for the local market by the end of 2025. Now, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) has reiterated this plan, saying that the government is ready to help in achieving the goal.
Taking to X, MITI Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul said that when talking about EVs in our country, many complained about their high price. Hence, that is why the government has appointed Perodua as the main manufacturer of affordable EVs under the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2023.
Furthermore, Tengku Zafrul also revealed that he had discussed with Perodua to know more about the development of its EV project and how the government could aid in achieving the goal for the benefit of the people and the Malaysian economy. Besides that, the MITI Minister also said that it had held discussions with highway concession companies, hypermarket chains such as Lotus's, AEON, Mydin and Giant, Malaysia Shopping Malls Association and Malaysian Association of Hotels to encourage them to install charging stations in their premises.
