INTERACTIVE: EV boom highlights charging bay shortage
An electric vehicle being charged at a public charging station at Aeon Mall Shah Alam. — IZZRAFIQ ALIAS/The Star PETALING JAYA: A surge in electric vehicle (EV) sales is outpacing the growth in the number of charging stations being built. Malaysia's vehicle-to-charger ratio currently stands at 13 EVs per charger nationwide, an increase of 18% compared to 11 a year ago. As of June 30, figures from the Malaysia Electric Vehicle Charging Network (MEVnet) dashboard show that there were 4,161 public EV charging bays across 1,374 locations nationwide. This is a 61% increase from The Star's previous analysis in July 2024 when 2,585 bays were installed. Despite the increasing number of charging stations being built, EV registrations have been rising at an even faster pace. There are currently 52,418 EVs on the roads as of June 30 this year, with a sharp increase recorded since January. The first six months of this year saw 17,143 electrical vehicles registered, a 60.8% year-on-year jump from 10,663 units in the same period last year. May 2025 saw the highest-ever monthly registration with 4,152 EVs. Malaysia has set a national target of installing 10,000 public charging bays at 4,025 stations by 2025, a goal first laid out under the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (2021–2030). While Malaysia is still far from meeting the objective, Kuala Lumpur has already hit its target with 1,192 charging bays installed, which is 132.44% of its 900-unit target. Penang ranks second with 393 bays in place, which is 65.5% of its 600-bay goal. Johor is third with 466 bays, which is 42.36% of its 1,100-bay target. 'While the installation of over 4,000 EV charging bays is commendable, it is still not fully adequate to meet the growing and future demand,' said PLANMalaysia director-general Datuk Dr Alias Rameli. He noted that many EV owners, especially those in landed properties, rely on private home chargers, which are not counted under the government's public infrastructure targets. Dr Alias said there has been a noticeable increase in planning submissions for new EV charging bays, particularly from private firms and local authorities in high-growth corridors like the Klang Valley; Johor Bahru; and Penang. The MEVnet platform enables spatial mapping of existing and planned infrastructure, allowing more efficient rollout and reducing land-use conflicts. However, challenges persist. Dr Alias highlighted that identifying suitable sites for chargers in dense urban areas remains a key constraint. 'In mature urban zones, limited space, competing land uses, and retrofitting existing buildings present significant hurdles,' he said. He also pointed to regulatory misalignment between planning authorities, utility providers, and safety regulators which differences in interpretation of technical requirements often result in delays. To address this, PLANMalaysia has introduced the Garis Panduan Perancangan (GPP) EVCB, a unified planning guideline for EV charging bays and has conducted capacity-building initiatives with local planning authorities to streamline approval processes.

Singapore-Registered Mini Cooper Driver Busted Doing Petrol 'Takeaway' With Malaysia's Subsidised Fuel
Subscribe to our FREE The driver of a Singapore-registered vehicle got caught red-handed at a Johor Bahru Caltex station, not just filling up his Mini Cooper with Malaysia's subsidised RON95 petrol, but pumping the cheap fuel into containers for takeaway. The vehicle was recently photographed at Nusa Sentral in Johor Bahru, making what amounts to a bulk petrol shopping run, treating subsidised Malaysian fuel like it's some kind of cross-border grocery haul. The internet had a field day with the double contradiction: here's someone with a Singapore-registered Mini Cooper – not exactly a budget car, and definitely not cheap to own in Singapore – but apparently can't stomach paying Singapore petrol prices. Road vigilante group SGRV FRONT MAN's Facebook post exploded with typical internet justice: 'Got gas for his enduro motorbike now! All set for a day of riding' – suggesting creative uses for the extra fuel 'Immigration & Checkpoints Authority helu polis, tangkap ini olang' – someone demanding authorities arrest the guy. 'Tapao some more.. steady mini' – mocking the takeaway mentality Why This Container Thing Matters Malaysia's RON95 costs about 60 Singapore cents per litre – four to five times cheaper than The government subsidises this fuel specifically for Malaysian citizens, and foreign-registered vehicles have been But a Singapore-registered car pumping it into containers? That's next-level subsidy abuse, essentially turning a quick fuel stop into a smuggling operation. Some sharp-eyed commenters noted that even However, enforcement of these rules has always been inconsistent, allowing foreign-registered vehicles, such as this Mini Cooper, to exploit the system for years.

Exclusive-Tesla's brand loyalty collapsed after Musk backed Trump, data shows
LOS ANGELES, August 4 (Reuters) -Tesla for years had more repeat U.S. customers than any other major automotive brand but its loyalty has plunged since CEO Elon Musk endorsed President Donald Trump last summer, according to data from research firm S&P Global Mobility shared exclusively with Reuters. The data, which has not been previously reported, shows Tesla's customer loyalty peaked in June 2024, when 73% of Tesla-owning households in the market for a new car bought another Tesla, according to an S&P analysis of vehicle-registration data in all 50 states. That industry-leading brand loyalty rate started to nosedive in July, that data showed, when Musk endorsed Trump following an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania on the Republican nominee. The rate bottomed out at 49.9% last March, just below the industry average, after Musk launched Trump's budget-slashing Department of Government Efficiency in January and started firing thousands of government workers. Tesla's U.S. loyalty rate has since ticked back up to 57.4% in May, the most recent month the S&P data is available, putting it back above the industry average and about the same as Toyota but behind Chevrolet and Ford. S&P analyst Tom Libby called it "unprecedented" to see the runaway leader in customer loyalty fall so quickly to industry-average levels. "I've never seen this rapid of a decline in such a short period of time," he said. Tesla and Musk did not respond to requests for comment. The timing of Tesla's plunging brand loyalty suggests the CEO's involvement in politics turned off customers in the EV pioneer's eco-conscious customer base, some analysts said. "If they have Democratic leanings, then perhaps they consider other brands in addition to Tesla," said Seth Goldstein, an analyst at Morningstar. Tesla's aging model lineup also faces stiffer competition from an array of EVs from legacy automakers including General Motors, Hyundai and BMW. The only new model Tesla has released since 2020, its triangular Cybertruck, has proved a flop despite Musk's prediction of hundreds of thousands of annual sales. On an April earnings call, Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja singled out "the negative impact of vandalism and unwarranted hostility towards our brand and people," but also said there were "several weeks of lost production" when the company retooled factories to produce a refreshed version of its top-selling Model Y. Musk on the April call said that "absent macro issues, we don't see any reduction in demand." Tesla vehicle sales overall are falling globally and have declined 8% in the United States the first five months of 2025, according to S&P. Sales fell 33% over the first six months of the year in Europe, where public backlash to Musk's politicking has been particularly fierce. Musk's increased political activism was "very bad timing" for Tesla, said Garrett Nelson, an analyst who tracks the EV maker at CFRA Research, because it came exactly as the company faced heightened competition from Chinese EV makers and other traditional automakers. He said his top concerns for Tesla are its loss of market share and "what can be done to repair the brand damage." LOYALTY NOSEDIVE Tesla remains the U.S. electric-vehicle sales leader but has seen its dominance erode as Musk last year delved into politics and focused Tesla more on developing self-driving technology than on new affordable models for human drivers. Customer loyalty is a closely watched auto-industry metric because it is 'much more expensive' to take new customers from competitors than to retain existing ones, said S&P's Libby. S&P offers some of the most detailed industry data on automotive purchases because it analyzes vehicle registration data from all 50 states on a household-by-household basis. Unlike survey data, it follows actual vehicle transactions to track how consumers migrate among brands and models. From the fourth quarter of 2021 through the third quarter of last year, more than 60% of Tesla-owning households bought another one for their next car purchase, the data show. Only one other brand – Ford – posted a quarterly loyalty rate exceeding 60% during the period, and only once. CUSTOMER DEFECTIONS S&P's data also examines another aspect of the automotive market: Which brands and models are taking customers away from others, and which ones are losing them? Until recently, Tesla was in a different stratosphere than other automotive brands on this metric. For the four years prior to July 2024, Tesla, on average, acquired nearly five new households for every one it lost to another brand. No other brand from a major automaker was even close: Hyundai's luxury Genesis brand was the next best, acquiring on average 2.8 households for every one it lost, followed by Kia and Hyundai, which acquired on average 1.5 and 1.4 households, respectively, for every one they lost. Ford, Toyota and Honda lost more households on average than they gained during that period. Tesla's average inflow of customers started to decline in July 2024 along with its loyalty rate. Since February, Tesla has been gaining fewer than two households for every one it loses to the rest of the industry, its lowest level ever, according to the data. 'The data shows clearly that the net migration to Tesla is slowing,' Libby said. Brands that now attract more Tesla customers than they lose to Tesla include Rivian, Polestar, Porsche and Cadillac, the data show. Brian Mulberry, client portfolio manager at Tesla investor Zacks Investment Management, said he isn't concerned about Tesla's long-term earnings because he expects enormous profits from its plans to operate robotaxis and license self-driving technology to other automakers. Tesla launched a small test of robotaxis in Austin in June, giving rides to hand-picked fans and Internet personalities but the service isn't available to the general public. If Tesla succeeds in expanding the technology, Mulberry said, 'there's a case to be made that Tesla doesn't need to sell cars and trucks anymore.' (Reporting by Chris Kirkham in Los Angeles.
