: The government will look into ways to bring affordable electric vehicles priced less than RM100,000 into the local market to benefit the people, says Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

“...Proton will bring in Geely vehicles in the near future... if we can install the vehicles in Malaysia, maybe it will help us to offer EVs 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 today.

“ because this industry is a growing industry. So, we want to make sure there are regulations and standards that should be fulfilled by companies that provide charging facilities. We know that if we do not scale up these charging stations, it will not support the expansion of electric vehicles,” he said, adding that the ministry hoped that these stipulated standards would convince the public to buy EVs.
