It’s safe to say that the EV market is blooming in many parts of the world as it’s the “sustainable” step ahead into the future. With so many manufacturers launching their EV alternatives, Malaysia lacks in having the proper infrastructure to progress the whole development with very little key players out there. But that just “might” be a thing of a past as EZ-Charge, the UK company who’s set to make some changes for better has signed with Mobility Werk in Malaysia to accelerate the EV ecosystem.

Mobility Werk and EZ-Charge

Both Mobility Werk and EZ-Charge has come together to come up with a long-term plan which includes focusing on the localization of EV Manufacturing to help with the supply chain ecosystem. That said, they are expanding their focus towards IR 4.0 by setting up Smart Factory that consists of IoT, robotics, data analytics and automation by 2023 to deliver automotive parts and components, which is soon if you ask me. Finally, to build a better Technical and Vocational Education and Training, they are set to look out for high skilled knowledge-based talents.

MOSTI Supports

Aside from the whole collaboration, The Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation is fully supporting and welcomes the strategic collaboration like this as it accelerates the EV industry in Malaysia. Dato’ Sri Dr. Adham bin Baba, added that “The Government has taken early steps towards strengthening the development, validation, and commercialization of local EV technology development through the NanoMalaysia Energy Storage Technology Initiative Programme. MOSTI is confident that MW Group strategic initiative will help elevate the EV Industry”.

Thing is…

Resorting with EZ-Charge, just might be a smart solution given that each brand has their own advantage like for instance, the 50 over years record Mobility Werk which is being carried along with EZ-Charge’s presence in UK.

Other than that, we aren’t too sure how this is going to really change because setting the whole EV infrastructure in Malaysia is a big one given that it must be implemented strategically and getting the right location, right price point and so much more. Now sure, this is kind of the problem every “early” adoption phase goes through – 2023 is soon, given that we still are facing shortages due to the pandemic which has not gone away. Something to ponder, but at least, there’s a progress and let’s just hope we get to see it soon.
