After the ceremony, Sarawak Minister Tiang highlighted the state government’s plans to equip residential areas in Sarawak, both housing estates and condominiums included, with EV charging stations. This, according to Tiang, will improve convenience for EV drivers in the greater vicinity of Kuching city.

The Minister continued further and underlined his beliefs that developing the necessary infrastructure to encourage the adoption of electromobility amongst Sarawak motorists is a collaborative effort that involves various agencies and industry stakeholders.

“As of May 2023, we have secured approximately 70 smart car park orders in Sarawak and 30 car parks in West Malaysia. By the end of 2023, we plan to expand our services to Indonesia and target at least 500 smart car parks across different locations within the next three years,” said Pay&Go’s Eddie Wee.
