XEV includes battery EV (BEV), plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV), hybrid EV (HEV), and fuel cell EV (FCEV). BEVs accounted for around 15,000 units of the total xEVs.
“The government views the use of HEVs and PHEVs as still relevant to achieving the targets set by the government, as these EV vehicles support the country’s ambition to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050,“ he said during the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today.
The government has set a target of 20 per cent of the annual total of new vehicles being xEVs by 2030.
