The Selangor government will set up 1,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2022 and 10,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2025.
The era of electric vehicles has arrived! In addition to the exemption of road tax, import tax and sales tax on electric vehicles, the Selangor government is also offering a parking fee exemption for electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles are exempted from paying parking fees when parked in public parking spaces under the jurisdiction of the Selangor local government. This measure is to encourage people to upgrade their current diesel vehicles to the more environmentally-friendly electric vehicles.
According to the International Energy Agency, the market share of electric vehicles will be about 30% by 2030, and the total number of electric vehicles on the road will reach 34 million.
The current price of electric cars is relatively high, and these government incentives are said by some people to benefit only the rich. What do you think?
