All Electric Vehicles Officially On Sale In Malaysia (2021)

We compile a list of all-electric vehicles (BEV) currently available on sale in Malaysia.

The recent 2022 budget announcement which proposed a completely tax-free incentive for EV cars, has really given EV's the much-needed exposure they need.

While this proposal has not been passed just yet, it doesn't deter the fact that it has somewhat ignited the nation's interest in EVs - with some even looking into buying one right now.

Yes, it might seem silly to try and buy an electric vehicle right now as it might be cheaper if the proposal is accepted, but some buyers have the luxury of not depending on government incentives for their purchases. 

If you're part of this privileged bunch, then the electric cars down below should give you a quick oversight of all the electric vehicles available in Malaysia. Currently, the EV options list in Malaysia ranges from RM160k all the way up past RM500k. They come in all shapes and forms, from cute little hatchbacks to sporty-looking coupe-shaped vehicles.
