Volvo Car Malaysia has introduced an update for the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric.

The current import and excise tax exemptions for battery electric vehicles (battery EVs) is set to expire by 31-December 2023.

If this was a roulette table in Las Vegas, Stuttgart would be the one shouting “all in” with its AMG performance arm powering its electrification journey. The latest electrified rocketship from them? The AMG EQE. Fortunately, they’ve kept it rather e
