In the future, the state government will encourage local authorities (PBTs) in Greater Johor Bahru to use electric vehicles (EVs).
Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor, chairman of the Housing and Local Government Committee, said it was in line with the state government’s efforts to create a low-carbon society.
“We will encourage PBTs to use electric vehicles as we all know that in the next 10 to 20 years, Singapore is expected to fully utilise the EV technology,” he said.
Jafni had officiated the Low-Carbon Iskandar Puteri Festival in Sunway Big Box earlier. In order to execute the said plan, he stated that the state government would establish more EV charging stations in the area.
“We know that EVs are expensive but we have to start somewhere…we hope that this is the beginning of something better,” he concluded.
