From PaulineTan,

MAA members 12,733
+ Tesla Zeekr XPeng 3,564
Total 16, 297 / TIV 373, 636= 4.4%
Public charging stations (31/3/25) = 4,161

With incoming new tech eg solid state batteries, think EV can reach 10% in 2030?

New 2026 Saga

Hangzhou R&D using existing old Savvy platform to develop new Saga sedan, hatchback & perhaps Crossover

With a new Geely 1.5L NA engine & CVT transmission, rumours are this 2026 saga will replace the old saga, iriz & persona in one go. Actually Geely already have existing 1.5L engines such as the one used in Emgrand JLC-4G15B 1.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-4 with 114 hp output but a newer one might materialise.

As to whether the incoming Proton e.Mas EV will also intergrate into this new Saga needs to be considered from an affordability viewpoint.
