PETALING JAYA: Malaysia needs to conduct more studies and implement new policies to allow for better development of the electric vehicle (EV) sector in the country, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Dr Wee, who received a courtesy call from Alpha Ess Co Ltd chief executive and cofounder Alfred Wang on Monday , said with EVs becoming more prevalent globally, it was inevitable that they enter the mainstream of development in Malaysia.

"I shared with him that for the EV sector to flourish in Malaysia, we need to look into implementing new policies that address the various issues surrounding EV," he said in a Facebook posting. "With the emphasis for various transportation sectors to go green, it is time for us to conduct in-depth studies on the implementation plans of introducing more charging stations in public places, including shopping malls and highways, and on the disposal of old batteries.
