The EQC keeps company with the C 300 e plugin hybrid and the S 560 e plugin hybrid earlier this month.in Malaysia recently, and the crossover SUV is the first of a new breed of battery-powered electric vehicles from the luxury German automaker.
While EV users still need to plan their journeys and battery charging locations,"range anxiety" is becoming less of an issue. In countries like Malaysia with high duties for imported cars, selling EVs in significant numbers are especially tough. To date, Edaran Tan Chong Motor has sold 27 units of the LEAF and the company has plans to launch the second-generation LEAF in the third quarter of 2019.
Also, another factor when considering the purchase of an EV is the charging duration for the battery pack and the costs of installing a home or office charging unit. ChargEV says the company has installed 251 public EV charging stations across 192 locations nationwide as of December 2018. However, it should be noted that such customised tax breaks can be removed or changed drastically, and as such, the strong sales of premium PHEVS in Malaysia is unlikely to last.
