Which EV brands benefit from exemptions in new import regulations?

Question

Accepted Answer

EV brands that already assemble locally are exempt from the new fully imported EV rules
Brands that already have local assembly operations in Malaysia, described as CKD (Completely Knocked Down) operations, benefit from exemptions from the new rules. In the current list of examples, BYD, Chery, Jaecoo, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz are explicitly stated as exempt, allowing them to keep offering more competitively priced models despite the new import framework for fully imported EVs.
Exemptions apply to CKD brands with assembly plants in Malaysia
The exemption is tied to whether a brand has an assembly plant in Malaysia running CKD operations. This means the new regulation on imported EVs is not applied in the same way to brands that already assemble vehicles locally.
BYD is listed among the exempt CKD brands
BYD is one of the brands named as having assembly plants in Malaysia under CKD operations. This places BYD among the EV brands that can continue selling models without being subject to the new fully imported EV import rules.
Chery and Jaecoo are also named as exempt
Chery is stated as having two CKD facilities in Malaysia, and it is included in the group of brands exempt from the new regulation. Jaecoo is also listed among brands with assembly plants in Malaysia, similarly benefiting from the exemption.
BMW and Mercedes-Benz are included in the exempt group
BMW and Mercedes-Benz are both mentioned as brands with assembly plants in Malaysia under CKD operations. As a result, they are included among the EV brands that benefit from exemptions in the new import regulations.
