The Selangor state government has announced it is aiming to install 10,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the state by 2025, with the first 1,000 stations expected to be ready next year, according to the Selangor Journal.
The ambitious plan was outlined by Selangor MB Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari earlier today. Speaking at the tabling of the 2022 Selangor Budget at the state legislative assembly, he said the state is looking to pioneer EV usage, and the development of a charging infrastructure would help expand that scope in faster fashion.
Amirudin said that the state government and private parties would collaborate on the project, which will involve an investment value of RM10 million. It was not detailed what type of chargers would be utilised or what rates, if any, consumers would be expected to pay for charging.
He did however say that incentives would be provided to businesses and industries that invest in EV infrastructure projects, and there would be no public parking charges imposed on EVs next year. “The incentives include a reduction of business fees and assessment tax. Apart from that, parking fees which come under the jurisdiction of the local authorities will also be waived for EV users in 2022,” he explained.
The state’s plan to develop an EV charging infrastructure sounds timely, given the upcoming EV push announced by the government during Budget 2022. In the outlined plan, EVs are set to be completely exempt from import duty, excise duty, sales tax as well as road tax for a period of two years, starting from January 1, 2022.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I wonder if they recognizes other EV beside a car. I mean, we electric scooter users don’t even have wide adoption of proper facilities.
Proton, under Geely also commits to saving the environment.
Meanwhile Perodua under Toyota also commits to continue polluting the environment.
100 Toyota electric buses during the Tokyo Olympics may not be enough to satisfy the tree huggers.
Like all Olympic projeks, these 100 buses turn into white elephants becoming landfill pollution. Even worse than normal ICE cars or buses.
Actually zero emission public transport like electric buses are more effective in reducing carbon footprint than individual private EVs.
Deswai Selangor still the best state in bolehland. Syabas PH
Proton in Tg Malim wei! P2 is Selangor.
So Perak is helping conserve environment while Selangor is committed to polluting it. Syabas PH. Polluter of Haven.
How many EV cars does Malaysia really has?
More than any other country in South East Asia at the moment.
Here in SG, we got a huge surge in amt of Teslas recently. not to mention the occasional hyundai EV and the rest of the brands.
Can the authorities give a detailed price list of all those EV vehicles that are exempted from taxes?
Even with less taxes,those vehicles are out of reach of the masses.
Now the Selangor dude is talking about a pilot project involving 10 Juta RM.As times go on,it will be 100 juta,just to let cronies eat the fat cake.
Get the EV as cheap as the” Wuling ” car from China,then talk about the charging stations,does this make more sense?
Talk only, probably have to wait until 2030 to see its shadow.
Fix our water pollution issue first then we talk.
Stick to the topic, ppl talk automotive you drag water pollution. What’s next? you gonna drag covid cases as well? Failure.
can’t even collect trash on a regular basis
Up to 10,000 less parking bay @ Selangor soon?
I felt that what we need to do is to get businesses to install chargers. Top up your cars charge while you top up your stomach at .
Also, extend the tax exemption to range extenders and plug in hybrids that has at least certain amount of all electric range, so they can benefit from the charging facility but without the range anxiety. Then as more people buy it and more charging station shows up, the country is ready to switch to electric.

DBKL dah push EV Bus,
Waiting to see Selangor’s turn.
Since it started operations in 2015, the BRT Sunway Line has been running electric buses.
In 2017, two electric buses were already added to the PJ City Bus fleet.
Yes. Sunway BRT is electric Bus.
Kajang, Shah Alam, Klang..
Still many opportunities.

Cyberjaya also testing Autonomous Trackless EV Trams.
Now Selangor following Sarawak. State governments can’t wait anymore for federal government to come out with firm policy & action on EV charging infrastructure.
Selangor Gomen found new ways to makan duit rakyat after their expensively failed go at it alone Covid programs, bot like Selangkah app, uber expensive Selvax, and all thanks to Federal Gomen help that reduce it from the state with highest Covid infections & deaths.
umno macai dont polute paultan. Selangkah helped many factory open 6 months earlier saving hundred millions and million jobs. Wait fed already die dont know where.
PH machais eaten too much propaganda it goes to ur head. Our AZ covid vaccination program last year got off to a bad start cuz millions could nt get a slot when Selangkah botnet mass booked millions of slots meant for real rakyat. And Selvax died quickly when many companies & industries realised that Fed Gov Pikas program is nearly free with just admin cost to be paid. Machais still like to get cheated kaa?
You really can spin & spin & spin until I dizzy oredi
just like public telephone many many years back.
Got 10 telephone booths, only 1 booth has a working telephone. Remaining phones rosak, missing parts, vandalised, cable putus, etc.
So, will charging stations suffer the same fate?
This problem already happened @ Western and China.
So, drivers need to find new charging pod, usually 1 location a few pod la..
Just like telephone booth.
Malaysians will park the car to charge, leave it there then go shopping/watch movies, come back later after 4 hours..
Yes thats how ev chargers work?? Idk what you mean
For sure Rawang not much EV coverage because Perodua CEO dont embrace EV at the moment.
He would rather embrace his wife
How bout focus on your public transportation first which is getting sucks.
Imagine if all these EV are caught in heavy jams, how often do you need to charge the EV?
And good luck for all the petrol stations in the coming future.
In Malaysia the confidence to own and drive EV has to increase, currently even our PHEV has weak resale values. Because the components and systems are not easily diagnosed and repaired by your neighbourhood mechanics. Will auto principals provide their diagnostic equipment for sale or lease? Do they all need proprietary diagnostic equipments?
EV is the soon to be reality. But there will be too many gaps in our EV ecosystem for easy transition to EV. The laws is another area which is not updated. This is very clear for E bikes. What about insurance?
Good PR but it’s kosong inside this message, zero follow thru. Probably 1000 chargers at 3.6/7.2kw capacity.
All this negativity yet none of the jokers actually own an EV and my guess is most haven’t even experienced driving an EV.
FYI those who own EV’s don’t even bother with public chargers when a full charge overnight at home can run the car for few days work commute.
EV’s will take over much faster than you think.
