Popis: The global surge in the electric vehicle market shows a growing commitment to sustainable transportation. However, Malaysia’s progress in EV development has been slow. This article presents the challenges to EV adoption in Malaysia. The study identifies critical issues such as inadequate charging infrastructure, uneven distribution of charging stations, high costs of ownership, and low consumer awareness, acceptance, and safety. These challenges collectively impact the adoption rate of EVs in the Malaysian market. The study also suggests potential solutions, such as expanding the charging infrastructure, developing cost-effective strategies, implementing fast charging with renewable integration, enforcing safety protocols and standards, and establishing a battery recycling industry. By addressing these key areas, the research highlights a feasible path to boost EV adoption in Malaysia that aligns with international trends and promotes a greener future.
