Increase in awareness about alternative fuel, advancements in battery technology, and growing demand of two-wheelers in B2B Services will contribute to the growth of Electric two-wheeler Vehicle Industry in Malaysia ~ Ken Research
Consumer preferences and buying decision behavior
The electric two-wheeler vehicle market is at a very nascent stage. Public awareness needs to be strengthened to encourage more users to switch to EVs. This includes continuously raising awareness on the benefits of EVs – particularly about its range and reliability, ensuring the readiness of infrastructure, and promote benefits including the current incentives offered for electric scooters & electric motorcycles. Consumers started preferring and realized the need for an electric vehicle, especially 2W, when the mechanical shops were closed during COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Consumers are thinking to shift to electric vehicles also because, during Budget 2022, the government proposed that EVs be completely exempt from import duty, excise duty and sales tax. EVs will also benefit from a road tax exemption of up to 100% under the proposal, while an income tax relief of up to RM2,500 will be provided on the cost of purchasing and installing, renting or taking up hire purchase facilities, as well as subscription payments of EV charging facilities. As fuel prices climb, consumers prefer to switch to battery-powered electric bikes and scooters. Alternative fuel awareness among consumers is growing, battery technology and R&D efforts are advancing, and manufacturers are concentrating on producing electric two-wheelers.
