According to an infographic posted by Malaysia Zero Emission Vehicle Association (MyZEVA) citing data.gov.my, Kuala Lumpur and Penang are two states that have already surpassed their national electric vehicle (EV) charging deployment targets as of March 2026.
The targets set for these states are 1,050 chargers for Kuala Lumpur and 600 chargers for Penang. Of the two, the federal territory leads the way with an impressive 160%, while the island state is at 105%. Meanwhile, states that have crossed 50% include Johor (55%), Pahang (52%) and Sarawak (52%).
Selangor, which has a target of 4,000 chargers (the highest among all states), is currently sitting at 46%. Perak is also at 46% but its target is much lower at 500 chargers.
As for the remaining states, they mostly have targets in the hundreds, including Negeri Sembilan (35%, 300 charger target), Melaka (30%, 350), Kedah (26%, 400), Terengganu (20%, 300) and Kelantan (13%, 250). Under 10%, we have Sabah at 9% (350 charger target), while Perlis is at just 4% with the lowest target compared to all other states at just 50 chargers.
If you add all the targets by state, you’ll arrive at 10,000 chargers, which is the national target set by the ministry of investment, trade and industry (MITI). Referring to a report from December last year, the energy commission (ST) revealed it had issued licences to 5,360 public EV chargers as of November 31, 2025.

Based on data from the Ministry of Health Malaysia and reported updates, HIV infection trends in Kelantan and Terengganu have risen significantly
Only moron always discuss out topic
Of course WPKL exceeded target. A big group of the deployment for tepi jalan, and despite of the increasing “Number”, EV users may not benefited on it, as most of the time hog by non-charging EV, or parked by non-ev car. Just a number game, and not really for infrastructure improvement. End of the say, publish the report and celebrate that the gomen helped and hitting target, please vote for us next GE. Lapsap.
It’s time to equip every petrol station with Megawatt Flash Charging and battery swapping facilities, giving Malaysians better options for electric mobility?
TNB can explore new technologies to reduce production costs; the myth that traditional fossil fuels are the only way to remain cost-competitive is no longer valid in the pursuit of sustainability?
Battery swapping is only need for e-Hailing, Trucks and Buses that do many miles on a regular basis. The average car owner doesn’t need one. Even 5hitty NMC/NCM batteries will last 10-15 years well before that becomes a problem. The rest of your car might not even last that long if you don’t do proper maintenance even if that is much lesser than on an ICE. LFP will last even longer for the average buyer. NMC should be outlawed so that consumers get the more longer lasting LFP. Relegate NMC to performance suopercars if that’s really the only way.
Increase charging infrastructure, force recent and future condos to install EV charger by law (uniform building Bylaws) that will more than mitigate the need for longer ranges which just makes the car heavier.
In a world of total abundance, money essentially becomes meaningless because goods and services are accessible to everyone.
Elon Musk posits that as AI achieves productivity levels beyond human capability, the cost of products will trend toward zero, fundamentally decoupling survival from labor.
Malaysians should strive for this as well. We could replace our cars more frequently, and the rakyat would be happier; nobody likes using an iPhone 11 with 4G in 2026 when others already have access to high-tech, AI-enhanced 5G Androids and iPhones.
Do not mention EV infrastructure when you do not encourage open market!

Kajang Semenyih area seriously lack of EV charger.

actually kampung states that does not have much high rise d not need that much public chargers
