Proton X50 1.5T Executive incentives & grants
Malaysia's EV tax breaks have largely ENDED: the CBU import/excise exemption expired 28 Dec 2025 (CKD assembly stays exempt to end-2027) and the EV road-tax exemption expired 31 Dec 2025 — EVs now pay the JPJ kW-based road tax (RM80–575/yr for this fleet, modeled at RM160). Meanwhile BUDI95 keeps subsidised RON95 at RM1.99/L for eligible Malaysians (market price RM3.37/L) — a real tailwind for petrol and hybrid cars that these totals honestly include.
