- MITI aims to install 10,000 electric vehicle charging stations across Malaysia by year‑end.
- Kuala Lumpur and Penang each surpassed 100% of their annual EV charger deployment targets as of March.
- Johor (along with Pahang and Sarawak) each exceeded 50% of the national deployment goal at the quarter mark.
- Selangor reached 46% of its 4,000‑charger target, just shy of the 50% mark.
- Azrul Reza Aziz said Malaysia demonstrates a robust commitment to electric mobility, aligning with a goal of 20% xEV sales by 2030.
Why it matters: EV drivers in Kuala Lumpur and Penang gain immediate access to more charging points, supporting the government's 10,000‑station goal and reducing urban emissions as the nation pushes for 20% xEV sales by 2030.
