Proton is launching not one but two electric vehicles very soon. Will the Proton EV be priced under RM100,000?
According to Proton CEO Dr Li Chunrong, Proton will be launching its EVs very soon. What’s more interesting is that they will be launching two EVs and the second model will be introduced 6 – 8 months later. The CEO is still tight-lipped on the details but it does show that they are committed to their New Energy Vehicle transition.
During the launch of the Proton X90, Geely’s Founder and Chairman Eric Li Shufu said the Chinese automaker wants to empower Proton in the NEV transformation with the goal of. NEV is usually referred to as electrified vehicles which include hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles.
While affordable EVs can help to accelerate EV adoptions, the other concern is having sufficient EV charging infrastructure to support the number of EVs on the road. Malaysia aims to have 10,000 EV charge points by 2025 but it appears that Malaysia is still far behind with approximately 1,500 charge points deployed so far.
While Charge Point Operators have accelerated the deployment of chargers along highways and destinations, it appears that bureaucratic hurdles are slowing down the availability of new chargers. Several EV chargers have been deployed but they are still not live yet even after 6 months.
