Paying A Higher Price Due To Archaic AP System

Tesla is the first EV manufacturer to be exempted from approved permits under Malaysia’s new Global Battery Electric Vehicle initiative. But why should high end EV vehicles be exempted from duties and taxes? And why does the government intend to maintain the AP system? Does the AP system still make sense in the push for higher EV adoption and making Malaysia a regional hub for manufacturing? We discuss all thousand more with Daniel Fernandez of the auto news portal dsf.my.
