EV Road Tax Malaysia

As per the 2026 JPJ regulations, EV Road Tax Malaysia is now determined by the motor’s power output in kilowatts (kW) rather than engine capacity.

Malaysia JPJ Rates (Effective Jan 1, 2026)

Electric Motor Output

Check your Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC).

Distinct from petrol vehicles, this new EV framework applies a standardized rate, removing any cost variance between saloon and non-saloon models. Furthermore, the charges remain identical whether the vehicle is registered to a private individual or a company.

Electric Motorcycles: Fees for electric bikes are highly affordable, commencing at a base of RM2. The maximum charge is capped at RM42, applicable only if the motorcycle’s power output exceeds 40kW.

If you want to calculate road tax base on oil or disele you can use old method to do it.

Important Update: Prospective owners must note that the road tax exemption for EVs officially expired on December 31, 2025. Consequently, all Battery Electric (BEV) and Fuel Cell (FCEV) vehicles are now liable for these updated, reduced kW-based rates.

Unlike conventional vehicles, the previous road tax structure which was based on engine capacity, this model does not apply to electric vehicles. As such, the transport ministry has designed a new schedule for these special vehicles to ensure a fair and appropriate road tax structure.

Problem regarding the EV road tax system

Transport Minister Anthony Loke recognized the public's worry regarding the previous EV road tax rates.

The original formula used the electric motor's maximum power to determine the fee, similar to how petrol cars are taxed. However, this method resulted in surprisingly high costs.

Under the old JPJ guidelines, an electric sedan with 150kW of power faced a starting tax of RM1,024, plus extra charges for every additional unit of power. In contrast, a petrol car with equal horsepower paid just RM90.

Because this pricing was confusing and unfair to EV owners, the ministry introduced the new, cheaper road tax structure for electric vehicles
