Zeekr Malaysia is heading into the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2026 with its two most aspirational models – the Zeekr 009 Grand and the Zeekr 9X. The ultra luxe duo will make their Malaysian debut on the show, which runs from June 12 to 21 on the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC). It’s likely a showcase and never a sales launch as @zeekrmy’s Instagram caption says “each models offer a glimpse into the long run direction of the Zeekr brand” – the keyword here is future, so we expect a correct sales launch will come later,…
The Energy Commission’s (ST) Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA) rate for June 2026 has been set at +2.59 sen per kWh, which is up from in +1.38 sen/kWh in May 2026. Similar to the case in May 2026, the true AFA is definitely 3.44 sen/kWh (RM 352 million) but Kumpulan Wang Industri Elektrik (KWIE) funds have covered 25% of the increased cost (i.e. RM87 million, comparable to 0.85 sen/kWh). That is the second month that AFA has been positive, and in addition the second month that KWIE has subsidised the AFA surcharge. In accordance with Single Buyer’s website, fuel prices in…

Stocks of the Tesla Model 3 Standard are actually in Malaysia, with display and test drive units now available at various locations for potential buyers and the EV-curious generally to examine out. The Model 3 Standard was first introduced within the Tesla Malaysia line-up in January, bringing the brand’s entry price significantly lower to RM147,600 which is over RM20k lower than the previous most reasonably priced Model 3. With the Standard being the brand new “standard”, what was previously referred to as the Model 3 has been renamed the Model 3 Premium. Quite a number of items have been faraway…
The 7-seater Tesla Model Y Juniper has landed in Europe, with the third row option now being available for order for two,500 Euros. The identical option is US$2,500 within the US market where it made its debut. While the unique Tesla Model Y was available with an optional third row which added two seats, this selection was never available on the Juniper. A 3 row Model Y was later launched in the shape of the Tesla Model Y L with an extended wheelbase, but as an alternative of being a 7-seater, it’s a 6-seater with a 2-2-2 seat configuration, with…
It’s finally happening – the eagerly awaited Perodua electric automotive might be launched tomorrow morning (December 1 2025) at 930am. Perodua announced on their social media pages today that the launch might be livestreamed on the corporate’s Facebook and Tiktok platforms. The brand new Perodua QV-E is significantly larger than a Myvi, and quite closer to the B-segment Proton X50 in exterior size. It is anticipated to be priced across the RM80k mark. Perodua shouldn’t be targeting the masses with this model, and thus ultimate affordability isn’t the foremost goal. The QV-E may have a 52.5 kWh battery, as revealed…
Tesla has released a teaser of an upcoming “Tesla Model Y L” via its Tesla China Weibo account. The teaser shows the side profile of a Model Y, in addition to a rear model badge with a rather different design, a kind of triple shadow version of the Y which could perhaps signify 3 rows of seats. Finally, we all know its called the Tesla Model Y L since the caption says Model Y L, which is consistent with the naming scheme of long wheelbase versions of cars that Chinese customers are used to. Tesla China has likely decided to…
TNB has announced the brand new electricity tariffs from July 2025. There was a significant change in how the bill is calculated for domestic users which we will probably be covering on this story. There are five components or “charges” to calculating your bill: Generation charge – 27.03 sen/kWh for usage under 1,500 kWh a month or 37.03 sen/kWh for usage over 1,500 kWh a month. This covers the actual cost of generating electricity from power plants. Capability charge – 4.55 sen/kWh. This charge is alleged to be for ensuring reliable supply by maintaining power plants and standby capability. Network…
