Electric buses are too expensive for the government to introduce, transport minister Anthony Loke has said, according to BFM News<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n

Costs for purchasing EV buses are twice as much as those for purchasing conventional buses, and that “if it were possible, we would want all bus fleets to be EV bus fleets,” Loke told the Dewan Rakyat. A further challenge is that there are not enough charging points to ensure the electric buses are fully utilised, he added. <\/p>\n

The transport ministry also welcomes ideas for ways to obtain more affordable electric buses for public transportation, Loke said in the Dewan Rakyat session. “We welcome ideas, just as how Sarawak has introduced its first hydrogen-powered bus service<\/a> under a joint pilot project,” he said. <\/p>\n
