KUALA LUMPUR – Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today proposed to the national utility company, Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) and Perusahaan Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) to forge cooperation in introducing affordable electric vehicle (EV) charging rates for the people.
The prime minister said TNB is currently working to increase its energy production by using renewable energy sources and providing adequate EV charging stations.
“At the same time, Perodua can use this opportunity by exploring new fields such as producing high-quality EVs that Malaysian families can afford.
“In fact, telecommunication companies like Telekom Malaysia can also work with these two parties to provide data packages that will enable users to book EV charging sessions online,” he said when launching the all-new Perodua Alza at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre here today.
Ismail Sabri said such smart cooperation should be forged as soon as possible to overcome the effects of climate change that had hit the world, and also to ensure sustainable development of the country.
He said the cooperation would also help achieve Malaysia’s target of being a carbon-neutral nation by as early as 2050. – Bernama, July 20, 2022
