Episode Details

Malaysia's electric vehicle ambitions face a growing infrastructure challenge, with public charging deployment falling well behind government targets. As policymakers consider introducing a levy on new EV sales to fund more charging stations, critics argue the real obstacle is not funding but the complexity of getting councils, utilities, landowners, and charging operators to move in step. Is a new levy the right solution, or should the focus instead be on fixing the bottlenecks slowing the rollout of the country's EV charging network?
