Chinese EV makers like BYD and Chery have sparked a price war in Malaysia, slashing prices and disrupting the automotive landscape. But is this simply competition at work—or a sign of deeper volatility in the EV market?
We break down what these price cuts really mean for consumers, local carmakers, and the long-term viability of EV adoption in Malaysia. From depreciation concerns to policy implications, we explore whether the current EV boom is sustainable—or heading for a correction.
Joining the conversation is Daniel Fernandez, co-host of Cruise Control on BFM and founder of DSF.my, who shares his take on the state of the EV market and what to watch as the industry shifts gears.
