EV charger rollout and market expansion challenges ~~persist~~

Moldova confirmed it had already hit its 2030 target of 11,000 electric cars, with more than 81,000 hybrid and plug‑in vehicles on the road. A joint feasibility study by the Ministry of Energy, the National Center for Sustainable Energy, UNDP and Danish partners highlighted that the existing charging‑station network remains insufficient and unevenly distributed, especially along main routes. Officials said they will accelerate deployment of modern, accessible chargers to support a projected doubling of EVs by 2030 and to meet European standards. In Malaysia, the public‑charging shortfall persists. As of May 31, 2026, there were 6,416 public units installed, well below the 2025 goal of 10,000. Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani has reiterated that the transition to EVs cannot be aggressive without a complete ecosystem, noting that EVs currently lack the established support networks—such as service centers and spare parts—available to internal combustion engine vehicles. He specifically highlighted concerns regarding charging accessibility for residents in high-density housing, such as flats and low-cost projects, due to electrical capacity and management constraints. To address funding, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry is examining a potential levy on every EV sold to finance a nationwide charging infrastructure fund. Johari noted that “if those costs are imposed on manufacturers, they will ultimately pass them on to consumers.” On the private sector front, Plus Malaysia Berhad aims to establish 350 EV charging points across its highway network and the East Coast Expressway 2 by 2028. ~~This includes developing a large-scale charging hub at~~ In Indonesia, the ~~Seremban R&R in collaboration with Yinson Green Tech,~~ government is preparing an electric motorcycle subsidy of Rp3 million per unit, expected to ~~be completed by 2027.~~ begin in September 2026. This program, which carries an estimated budget of Rp3 trillion, may include brands such as Alva and Gesits. Stakeholders have also expressed support for a trade-in scheme to replace conventional motorcycles with electric models.
