TLDR on the new EV import rules: In just 2 months, a lot of the popular EVs you see on the road now, will be illegal to sell. Those that are deemed legal to continue to sell, will no longer be sold in accordance to the previous min floor price of 100k MYR - they are forced to be sold for over 300k.

---

The kind of policy making you can expect from a 3rd world country. Changes to new rules on imported EVs to take effect in just 2 months when you'd expect at least a year for something so incredibly drastic and disruptive, and those changes themselves have been changed ~3 times over the last month alone - and these changes were meant to 'protect' 'local' car brands like #Proton (which is essentially China's #Geely), yet #Tesla which had an exclusive deal w this Malaysian government when they came here is expected to be exempted from these new rules.

It's fine if this is all just to incentivise these (Chinese) car brands to set up local production here... but our dumbass government also made sure to update the rules for that too - to ensure that the new rules (on local production) does the absolute opposite and disincentivise local production by these companies, especially #BYD. The end result is, ultimately, either buy Proton's/#Perodua 's shitty EVs for cheap (i.e. overpriced for what they are), or buy the forced-to-be-expensive options from the other brands, that are now also incredibly limited due to the government also enforcing some sort of seemingly arbitrary minimum power requirements for these cars to be imported and sold here. OR, the easiest option most would opt for - just forget getting an #EV la, pointless.

All in all, just your typical lanjiao governance from Malaysia.
