In Malaysia we are so used to petrol engine vehicles ever since the first car of our parents time. A lot of people may not accept Electric Vehicle yet as it is not commonly used in Malaysia. Why? Below are the reasons why Malaysian don't choose Electric Vehicles.
Out of Batteries / Can't Travel Long Distance
If you're out of petrol today, you may go to nearby petrol station to fuel up, but if you're out of battery, there's no power station to charge in Malaysia right? The answer is no, actually it is pretty easy to charge via your own plug in the house or anywhere. Besides that some malls car park have a special charger for Electric Vehicle but you have to be very lucky to get that parking. Lastly you can spend some money to fix a fast charger at home for convenience.
Maintenance
Do you know that an electric car don't have engine? It uses Electric Motor instead of a conventional engine. For Electric Motor, you will save a lot maintenance from traditional engine and gear oil change, oil filter, spark plugs, timing belt, brakes and etc. Normal routine yearly check up needed for top performance, tyres and suspensions. For Electric Vehicles, we all know all types of gadget's battery capacities will reduce as the usage of the gadget increasing, no doubt that Electric Vehicles battery capacities will reduce as well to around 80% after the car is around 300,000km
