The government last June launched a subsidy programme to provide incentives for EV evaluation trials and demonstration projects and is working on making EVs popular as one method of sustainable transportation. The government intends to put in place a taskforce called the E-Team composed of both members of the government and the private sector to explore the issue, and requested MMC’s support.
