Electric Vehicles (EV) continue to show strong growth as a total of 3,461 EVs have been registered in August 2025 according to the latest vehicle registration data released by the Road Transportation Department (JPJ).

If this momentum continues, EV registrations are expected to exceed 35,000 units by the end of 2025.
