EVs are the future… or are they? In this episode, Yamin Vong breaks down the reality of electric vehicles in Malaysia, the roadblocks to adoption, and whether we’re really ready for a fully electric future – what’s hype, what’s practical, and what still needs work.
But it’s not just about swapping engines. We’re talking efficiency, safety, and the environmental impact of EVs, because while they seem like the greener choice, there’s more to the story. The tech is evolving fast, but so are the challenges.
At the end of the day, the big question is trust. Will consumers embrace EVs, or are we still in the trial-and-error phase? It’s a conversation about the realities of electric mobility, the trade-offs we don’t always hear about, and what it’ll take for Malaysia to truly go electric.
