The ministry of investment, trade and industry (MITI) is keeping to the target of 10,000 EV chargers in Malaysia by 2025, MITI minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz has said at today’s Parliament sitting, in response to a question by Tampin MP Mohd Isam Mohd Isa. The target was originally outlined in 2021 under the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) 2021-2030.
Zafrul added that as of September 30, 2024, there are 813 DC and 2,358 AC chargers in Malaysia (3,171 total, compared to 2,585 in June). The targets are 1,500 DC and 8,500 AC chargers by end-2025, covering all states. Based on current BEV registrations, there is one charger for every nine EVs in the country.
In order to address the imbalance of charging locations between urban and rural areas, the government is in discussions with local authorities, highway concessionaires, hypermarkets, and associations of shopping malls and hotels, to communicate the importance of the EV market and the need for public charging.
Zafrul also revealed that 4,984 Malaysia Electric Motorcycle Use Promotion Scheme (MARiiCAS) applications have been approved. You can skip to the 1:13:40 mark in the video above if you prefer to watch.

The AC charger is not going to be useful 9 ev to 1 charger? How many use public AC charger when travel long distant, try watiing 3 to 5 hours of charging… We want more DC charger. There are 22,728 EV car on the road now, punny 813 DC charger on the road, with max 1500 charger. With EV growth of more than 200%. Well good luck to EV user
Buy it so expensive only for short distance travel. If 3 cars line up to charge, you need to wait there for how long?
My neighbour’s hse is worth rm400K.Recently,she bought a Tesla y,and proudly “showoff” her new found toy.
The car cost almost half the cost of her hse,mind u hire purchase is no joke.
She might think it is cool,with no spare ICE car on standby.Imagine,u forget to charge on time due to emergencies,then Grab might be your next option.
