“This year, I expect it to rise to between 1.7 per cent and two per cent, driven by the arrival of new brands and the introduction of national models, such as Proton e.MAS,” he said at a press conference during the EON and Sahabat Media Getaway here, yesterday. “Other factors influencing customers include the availability of charging stations for long-distance travel,” he added. “If their driving range is within a comfortable radius, they need not relocate to the Klang Valley to benefit from the EV ecosystem.”
