Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla is expanding its presence in Southeast Asia with plans to open an office in Malaysia. The announcement came after Malaysia’s trade ministry approved Tesla’s application to import battery-powered EVs into the country.
Tesla’s expansion into Malaysia is expected to create a range of new skilled jobs and increase the participation of local companies in the Tesla ecosystem. The company will also establish a network of charging stations for its vehicles, as well as showrooms and service centers.
