Abstract

This study explores the challenges and solutions for using electric vehicles (EVs) in Malaysia. EVs are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles, which contribute to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Despite Malaysia's rapid development and high number of vehicles, the adoption of EVs has been slow due to several issues. The main challenges include the high price of EVs, largely caused by import taxes, limited charging stations, and a lack of public awareness about the benefits of EVs. Safety concerns, such as the risks associated with EV batteries and charging systems, also discourage adoption. The study aims to understand how these challenges affect EV adoption, identify ways to overcome them, and highlight the benefits of EVs for Malaysia's environment, economy, and society. Solutions include government incentives like tax relief, building more charging stations in urban and rural areas, collaboration between local and international companies, and public awareness campaigns. However, issues like limited resources for infrastructure and low awareness in rural areas remain obstacles.
