Finance minister and prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has announced in his Budget 2025 speech that Perodua is working on a sub-RM100k EV, without divulging any further details.
Besides this, there is no mention of any extension to the EV tax breaks, so CBU EV tax breaks will end in 2025. Beginning 2026, only CKD EVs will be tax free. The free road tax for EVs should also be ending in 2025.
Perodua displayed the emo-1 EV concept at the Malaysia Autoshow 2024, foreshadowing its upcoming EV which is expected to surface towards the end of next year.
Instead of deriving the technology from partner Daihatsu, Perodua is developing its EV on its own, with the assistance of an as-yet-unnamed Australian partner.
Proton is going to launch the eMas 7 EV soon, but as that will be CBU from China (at least for now), it will have to adhere to the RM100k floor price that’s been set by the government.
The Neta V and Dongfeng Box are among the EVs expected to be locally assembled (CKD) in 2025 – these could be priced below RM100k as well.

2025 already confirm no tax ma for ev. No need to mention lor. Budget 2026 will extend the ev tax
Under RM100k = RM99,999,99 excluding insurance
Not a bad idea to have tax free CKD EVs
This rise a question how will those CBU EV brands like Tesla or any other brands that are reluctant to CKD their cars going to survive?.. if they don’t survive here, we will have issues with after sales support for these brands, especially those who have bought their tax free models. I guess Lotus, Tesla, Kia, Hyundai maybe Xpeng won’t setup CKD here. Only Cherry CKD their Omoda E5 as well as Volvo as of now (correct me if I m wrong) The rest remain to be seen.
Probably stick to those brands that are likely to survive in Malaysia in the long run..
ckd manufacturing costs higher than cbu
agree. but we also need to create jobs here for locals, don’t we?
Oh but burden the rest of the rakyat right
maibi EV definitely overweight obese with battery cells hogging valuable space also straining suspension system…since the original chassis body not designed ground up for EV
Rumour says there going to rebadge byd ev as the first p2 ev
