The Perodua electric vehicle (EV), the company’s first of its kind and touted to be an affordable EV priced under RM100,000, has been in the rumour mills for a while, and now we may have gotten a concrete timeline for its launch.

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.

The International Trade and Industry Ministry (MITI) has revealed that it would be discussing with national car manufacturers Proton and Perodua on expediting the production of electric vehicles (EVs). Its minister, Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said that both companies would produce national EVs and introduce affordable EVs to Malaysians.
