As governments worldwide race to accelerate electric vehicle adoption, infrastructure-not vehicle availability-is emerging as the decisive battleground. Malaysia’s latest update on its EV charging rollout marks more than a national progress report; it represents a strategic inflection point with global implications for how EV ecosystems must be built, funded, and scaled.
By the end of 2025, Malaysia had installed 5,624 public EV chargers, achieving 56% of its national target. Yet the real impact lies not in the headline number, but…
Executive Summary
Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer a future consideration-they are an accelerating reality reshaping mobility, consumer behaviour, and retail economics. By 2026, EV adoption will reach a scale that fundamentally alters where drivers stop, how long they stay, and what they expect from convenience retail.
For C-suite leaders in the convenience store (c-store) sector, EV charging is not merely an operational upgrade. It is a strategic infrastructure decision with direct implications for revenue diversification, customer lifetime value, brand…
The European EV charging sector crossed a strategic threshold in 2025. What was once a fragmented deployment race has matured into a continent-wide infrastructure buildout, shaped by regulation, capital markets, grid realities, and rapidly evolving user expectations. With 2.5 million new battery-electric vehicles added in a single year and over 18% of new car sales now electric, the charging industry has moved from scale-up to system design.
For executives across mobility, energy, infrastructure, and finance, 2025 was the year the…
