Cruise Control returns this week after a revision of the national Budget 2023, adding more building blocks to boost the take-up rate for electric vehicles. Also, the latest on Tesla's impending arrival into the Malaysian market, following MITI's approval for the American company to set up shop in Malaysia. Globally, BMW's recent recall of over 90,000 units of EVs in China raised a few eyebrows, but ultimately proved to be the right thing to do. We complete this episode with a drive review of a reliable family sedan, as Daniel takes the Honda City V spec on a round trip to Penang.
