* **Rising Adoption vs. Infrastructure:** While EV sales are climbing in Malaysia due to lower running costs, the support ecosystem is failing to keep pace with market growth.
* **Charging Challenges:** As of April 2026, Malaysia has 5,619 public charging bays (including 1,898 DC fast chargers), but availability is heavily concentrated in the Klang Valley, creating "charging deserts" elsewhere.
* **Repair & Maintenance Gaps:** 7 out of 10 independent workshops surveyed in the Klang Valley refuse to perform EV-specific repairs, citing a lack of specialized training, safety risks, and diagnostic limitations.
* **High Ownership Costs:** Battery replacement costs are estimated between RM20,000 and RM50,000 post-warranty, leading to concerns regarding long-term affordability compared to traditional combustion engine vehicles.
* **Owner Sentiment:** Some users report persistent technical issues and unresolved warning notifications, fueling regret and consideration of switching back to conventional vehicles.
