The sudden influx of electric vehicles in multiple countries around the world has given rise to changes in infrastucture geared towards integrating EVs into the mainstream transport sector. In Asia, in particular, there has been an overwhelming number of electric two-wheelers in the form of small scooters and motorbikes designed primarily for commuting.
Indeed, we've talked about hundreds of new electric two-wheelers from the Asian market here on RideApart, and those of you who read my stuff on InsideEVs would know that personal mobility devices like e-scooters and electric bicycles have also been growing in popularity both inside and outside of Asia. In Malaysia, for example, the Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), or National Energy Limited, has allocated RM 90 million—approximately $20 million USD for the construction of charging stations fo EVs in Malaysia.
