### English
* **Ambitious Targets:** Malaysia aims for EVs to reach 15% of new car sales by 2030, targeting an annual volume of 200,000 units.
* **Infrastructure Gap:** The 2024 target of 10,000 public charging points is unlikely to be met; experts suggest at least 40,000 points are needed by 2030.
* **Policy Recommendations:** 
    * Transform petrol stations into "energy stations" via tax incentives for charging installations.
    * Streamline regulatory approval processes, which currently take up to two years, down to a three-week turnaround.
    * Enact "right-to-charge" legislation for high-rise residents to ensure equitable access.
* **User Experience:** Charging should be as simple as refueling; all stations should mandate universal payment methods, including credit cards and e-wallets, while minimizing data collection.

* **雄心勃勃的目标：** 马来西亚计划到2030年将电动汽车在新车销量中的占比提升至15%，年销量目标为20万辆。
* **基础设施短缺：** 2024年部署1万个公共充电桩的目标恐难实现；专家建议到2030年至少需要4万个充电桩。
* **政策建议：**
    * 通过税收激励措施，推动加油站转型为配备充电设施的“能源站”。
    * 简化监管审批流程，将目前长达两年的审批时间压缩至三周内。
    * 制定“充电权”立法，确保高层住宅居民拥有公平的充电基础设施使用权。
* **用户体验：** 充电应如加油般便捷；所有充电站应强制支持信用卡和电子钱包等通用支付方式，并尽量减少用户数据收集。
