SYNOPSIS
As announced in Malaysia's Budget 2022, our government is promoting Electric Vehicle (EV) by providing incentives for EVs to be completely exempt from import duty, excise duty and road tax. Countries like Singapore, UK and France have announced their target to ban gasoline and diesel vehicles by 2040, moving toward electric vehicles instead.
Current challenges that hindered the widespread adoption of EV is worldwide there are different standards of chargers i.e. European, Japan, U.S..A. and China and different types of EV charger connectors that are not compatible for all EVs. Beside, there are also challenges in battery technology development by different manufacturers and the country's electrical infrastructure which is unable to cater for EV charging electrical demands. In this seminar, various speakers will explore the above challenges with proposed solutions for a sustainable EV development for the future.
