\n\n- The Federation of Motor and Credit Companies Associations of Malaysia (FMCCAM) has called on the government to involve used car dealers in the expansion of EV charging infrastructure
\n- FMCCAM argues that used car dealerships, which have extensive nationwide networks and existing premises, could serve as strategic locations for EV charger deployment
\n- The proposal aims to accelerate EV infrastructure coverage in suburban and semi-rural areas where dedicated charging stations are currently limited
\n- Used car dealers could offer dual-purpose facilities — combining vehicle sales with EV charging services, creating new revenue streams for the industry
\n- Malaysia currently has 6,416 public EV chargers as of May 2026, but the government has set an ambitious target of 30,000 charging points by 2030
\n- FMCCAM's proposal comes as the government works with TNB and charge point operators (CPOs) to address grid infrastructure challenges in supporting the expansion of EV charging
\n- The initiative could help bridge the urban-rural charging gap in Malaysia, where most existing EV chargers are concentrated in the Klang Valley and major cities

\n\n- **马来西亚汽车与信贷公司联合会（FMCCAM）**呼吁政府将二手车经销商纳入电动汽车充电基础设施扩展计划
\n- FMCCAM认为，二手车经销商拥有遍布全国的广泛网络和现有场地，可作为电动汽车充电桩部署的战略位置
\n- 该提案旨在加速电动汽车基础设施覆盖目前专用充电站有限的郊区和半农村地区
\n- 二手车经销商可提供双重用途设施——将汽车销售与电动汽车充电服务结合，为行业创造新的收入来源
\n- 截至2026年5月，马来西亚目前有6,416个公共电动汽车充电桩，但政府已设定到2030年达到30,000个充电点的宏伟目标
\n- FMCCAM的提案正值政府与**国家能源公司（TNB）和充电运营商（CPO）**合作解决支持电动汽车充电扩展的电网基础设施挑战之际
\n- 该举措可能有助于缩小马来西亚的城乡充电差距，目前大多数现有电动汽车充电桩集中在巴生谷和主要城市
