EVs ? 😳… Malaysia is not even ready for MALAYSIA … ie. MA63 😊

[@simcn73]

Indeed very knowledgeable CEO and interesting discussion. thank you for interviewing him

[@RoboTech8055]

Dont ask capitalist what's good for the end consumer, but ask them directly. Dont be stupid. Capitalist will ask Msian to copy US but end consumer will wanna copy south afriican, europe & Australia market.

[@sunshinesun121]

General Consumers of CARS Or Consumers that have USED EV's before ??? .....Currently ....... Over 75% of Cars drives are "Literally" ignorant about EVs. Ie:- Worry abour a) Fires b) Range of EV c) Charging d) Etc.

[@harukrentz435]

In Jakarta it's pretty common to see electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, even electric cars on the streets. Im considering buying electric bicycle its extremely affordable and seem fun to ride.

[@thlim1460]

There is a need to look at regulation in place to ensure EVs are not allowed to park in enclosed carpark especially in multi-storey car parks including in high rise buildings and condominiums. This is to avoid the potential damage of an EV fire which had damaged many cars parked in the building and even the building structure could be destroyed as in the multi-storey carpark at Luton airport where 1,500 vehicles were damaged including the building structures. Do we want to wait till such fire occur locally before we formulate and precaution?

[@sunshinesun121]

There are By-Laws in place now for "EV Chargers " installations and safety. Do read and check with laws for EV chargers in existence. If public is worried about EV fires.... LAW MUST be implemented to HAVE "SPECIAL CAR PARKING" for EV's in all PLACES. So do PUBLIC/Government need to spend lots of $$$ .. " For JUST CASE scenario ?" . Just like OVER SIZE ALL DRAINS "JUST in CASE" there is Heavy Rain ??

[@nshon7]

Luton Airport fire was caused by a Range Rover diesel. Please. Are we going to stop diesels in enclosed car parks as well?

[@aziq04]

perbanyakkan dulu charging station ..dah le nk tunggu lama skali caj

Says the former CEO of 1MDB.

[@melovinde]

Is it a wonder he got his first EV by 2017? We’re probably paying for his pork barrel politics position in 1MDB until 2038. JAKIM halal cert or not.

[@CMCJJT]

He should be the president of Ex-1MDB Member Club, too, with Najib as the honorary chairman.

[@orgkampong]

For Malaysia currently with some infrastructure for EV unavailable, the market should go with hybrid first then down the road in the future fully EVs cars but those combustion engine aren't going off the radar anytime soon.

EV... Ok la short distance.

[@sunshinesun121]

Do own a EV and test for your self.

[@rosihantu1]

Its not just the charging stations, do we have enough electricity capacity if EVs are adopted widely? Not to mention the energy consumption for the newly built data centres. Btw what powers our electricity?

[@nshon7]

Google “EV myths” are all your questions will be answered in the first link

[@KatanaPlastik]

Asking about EV to a cari minyak

[@leonng1261]

Can say government is the one. THey take so long to approve chargers. Got chargers take 9 months approval. built, ready to go, but not yet approved by the agencies. This is a major black mark.

[@sunshinesun121]

Govn .... MUST be ACTIVELY involved in EV Chargers infrastructure growth. Just like Singapore and Thailand. Else .... Waiting for Private sector to be " Waiting for EV adoption " ?

[@monochrome88]

Audio need to be improved

[@TheMindOfACEO]

thanks for your feedback , yes! next will look into that and also the video quality in general. Thanks for your support

[@kokwahtan8577]

Generally, Msia cars are over tax.! Msian are paying the most expansive car , in ratio of average msian income. Do not compare on Currency exchange. Road pot hole everywhere. !!😂. Buy for long term used ok! Or, its burning your money when resale , $;plunge like waterfall 😂...Exploit like hell.😮😢

[@user-cf5uf7vf2g]

ev will still fail without 100k restriction, we dont have enof clean electricity and ev infrastructure is too expensive. focus on sarawak bagong to hydrogen to hydrogen car is much chances to get carbon neutral goal. hydrogen cheaper storage and transport without sewa land from tnb electric network.

[@user-cf5uf7vf2g]

While generating electricity by burning coal provides sufficient capacity, the real challenge lies in the costly process of laying cables for distribution, which is often more expensive than the generators themselves. This is why solar energy providers struggle when relying on TNB's grid to deliver electricity to places like Johor. However, I appreciate that TNB is carefully considering its decisions and not exploiting the existing infrastructure for ventures that don't benefit the public. I definitely don't want to experience total blackouts but have data centers running 24/7 like in Taiwan.

[@lbcck2527]

EU is possibly following Malaysia's lead in trying to protect domestic private car assemblers - requiring imports to be sold above minimum price. For Malaysia imports must be above RM 100k (€ 22k)

[@sunshinesun121]

So ... Protecting " Inefficient and Low Tech " manufacturers ... AT the EXPENSE of Consumers? .. Same as Protecting "ELITES" from going bankrupt ?? ...... As Chinese EV amanfacturers are Better In ALL Aspects of EV manufacturing ? By the WAY ..... HOW BIG is Malaysia Car Market ?? 600,000 Per YEAR ? Vs China 1.1 million per MONTH ???

[@PlanetXenornoph]

Only for T20

[@asean8081]

Cheap RON 95 price has hampered the growth of EV. Also the protection of price tag of 100 k , and lack of charging infrastructure . Carrots is not enough with tax exemption , it needs to have stick - remove the Fuel Subsidy and you will see behavior change

Lack of charging stations, short range of EVs for interstate travel during festive seasons and long charging times. No thanks, I will stick with a hybrid or an ICE car.

Informations? Plural for information is informations? And you're the host of an English-language YT channel? What further proof do we need that M'sia ain't equipped to accelerate its development curve anytime soon?

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Very expensive

[@kevinmasilung]

EV no resale value.

[@sunshinesun121]

Really ???? Check in China or US .. s/h car Prices ( EV Vs ICE ) with similar functions ..

[@Mochi5065]

True, EV resales price is just worst than hybrid and combustion engine. Anyone who owned an EV know that. Battery capacity depreciation is a lot worse than we think. Nobody want an EV when it's range is less than 350km, most of the EV today battery capacity will hit 350km after 3 years.
