BMW going big on EVs in Malaysia. But, the question is: Is Malaysia even ready for EVs?

for what you were getting for the price. Even with the drawbacks of owning an EV in Malaysia, the interest is clearly there.

For those who are unfamiliar, the i4 is BMW’s latest fully electric vehicle which boasts 340hp and 430Nm of torque. This translates to a 0-100km/h time of just 5.7 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 190km/h. With a full charge, you’re looking at a range of up to 590km and it also supports up to 200kW fast charging. This means you go from a 10% charge to an 80% charge in just 31 mins, or get 164km of range in just 10 minutes.

Needless to say, the BMW i4 is certainly an attractive proposition—whether you like the new kidney grille design or not. But the thing that I feel I need to point out is that when you buy an EV in Malaysia, you’re not just buying a car. And when it comes to the EV ecosystem here, Malaysia’s certainly got some developing left to do.

BMW Malaysia also said in their recent BMW i International Media Roundtable that these charging stations will not be exclusive to BMW vehicles in Malaysia, because they felt that it was an important step in the development of EVs in the country. On top of that, the carmaker has big plans in motion for the development of EVs in Malaysia over the next six to eight months, but was unable to share anything specific at this time.
