The Melaka government is targeting to have 350 electric vehicle charging bays (EVCBs) in the state by 2025, in line with the planning guidelines for the setting up of the EVCB set by the Town and Country Planning Department (PLANMalaysia).
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh said that currently, 118 direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) EVCBs have been installed at 40 locations throughout Melaka, particularly in urban areas.
“The state government welcomes this initiative and will adopt the planning guidelines in all applications for the setting up of the EVCBs in the state.
“As such, I want the Melaka Green Technology Corporation (PTHM) to act promptly to ensure its role and function as the main driver of green technology development in the state,” he told reporters after launching the EV Charging Hub at Concept Hotel by EVPower Sdn Bhd today
