Electric Vehicle, Feasible studyAbstract
The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is a pivotal element in combating climate change and fostering sustainable transportation. This paper explores the feasibility of EVs in Malaysia, focusing on the current landscape, challenges to adoption, and future predictions for the industry. Despite government initiatives aimed at promoting EV usage, several barriers such as insufficient infrastructure, high initial costs, and public awareness hinder widespread acceptance. This study provides insights into these challenges and offers strategic recommendations for stakeholders to enhance the adoption of EVs, contributing to a more sustainable transportation ecosystem in Malaysia.
