  • New national target: Deputy Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Sim Tze Tzin announced Malaysia now aims to have 30,000 EV charge points (EVCPs) by 2030, up from the original 10,000 EVCP target set under the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint 2021-2030
  • Current progress: As of mid-2026, there are 6,178 licensed EVCPs in Peninsular Malaysia (per Energy Commission data), plus approximately 153 in Sarawak and 32 in Sabah — totalling roughly 6,363 nationwide, well short of even the original 10,000 target
  • Deployment gap: To reach 30,000 by 2030, charging point operators (CPOs) must deploy approximately 467 charge points per month starting August 2026 — a 3-4x increase from the current pace of roughly 156 per month (260 licences issued January-May 2026)
  • Grid infrastructure challenge: The government is working with Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) on a mechanism to provide substations needed to support the rollout, as charging stations require sufficient electricity supply and high-powered DC charging often needs dedicated substation investment
  • Highway charging gaps: CPOs face significant challenges rolling out highway charging hubs, including complex land negotiations with multiple concessionaires, high upfront costs, lengthy approval processes, and major electrical capacity upgrades required at R&R sites
  • Revised CBU EV import rules: Sim also revealed that imported completely built-up (CBU) EVs must now meet a minimum cost, insurance and freight (CIF) value of RM200,000 and motor output of at least 180kW, following the end of tax incentives on December 31, 2025
  • Policy rationalisation: The RM200,000 CIF requirement is not a retail price floor but a customs/tax assessment measure to prevent under-declaration of vehicle values and provide more consistent valuation compared to on-the-road prices
  • Market transition: The temporary tax incentive period (2022-2025) helped stimulate the early EV market; the new measures represent a strategic transition towards a more sustainable import policy framework

  • 新国家目标：投资、贸易及工业部副部长沈志勤宣布，马来西亚目前计划到2030年拥有30,000个电动汽车充电点（EVCP），较《低碳出行蓝图2021-2030》原定的10,000个目标大幅提升
  • 当前进展：截至2026年中，半岛马来西亚有6,178个持牌EVCP（能源委员会数据），加上砂拉越约153个和沙巴约32个——全国总计约6,363个，远低于原定10,000个目标
  • 部署差距：要到2030年达到30,000个，充电点运营商（CPO）须从2026年8月起每月部署约467个充电点——较目前每月约156个（2026年1-5月发放260张牌照）增加3-4倍
  • 电网基础设施挑战：政府正与国家能源公司（TNB）合作建立变电站供应机制，因为充电站需要充足的电力供应，大功率直流充电往往需要专用变电站投资
  • 高速公路充电缺口：CPO在高速公路充电枢纽部署方面面临重大挑战，包括与多个特许经营商的复杂土地谈判、高昂的前期成本、冗长的审批流程以及休息站所需的重大电力容量升级
  • 修订整装进口电动汽车规则：沈志勤还透露，进口整装（CBU）电动汽车现在必须满足最低成本、保险加运费（CIF）价值20万令吉和至少180千瓦电机输出的要求，该规定于2025年12月31日税收优惠结束后生效
  • 政策合理化：20万令吉CIF要求不是零售价格底线，而是海关/税务评估措施，旨在防止车辆价值低报，并提供较上路价更一致的估值基准
  • 市场转型：临时税收优惠期（2022-2025年）帮助刺激了早期电动汽车市场；新措施代表向更可持续进口政策框架的战略过渡
