Work out the annual road tax on a Malaysian electric vehicle under the 2026 zero-emission vehicle structure. Enter the electric motor power in kW and the calculator shows the amount, the monthly equivalent, the band it falls in and how the figure is built.
Petrol and diesel cars — and hybrids, which still have an engine — are charged on engine capacity instead, under a completely separate schedule.

The 2026 ZEV schedule covers battery electric and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles only. A plug-in or conventional hybrid is charged on its engine capacity instead.
These fill in a realistic motor power so you can see the shape of the schedule. Official power can differ by variant and by what JPJ recorded at registration.
Enter kW — motor POWER, not kWh, which is battery capacity. The figure is on your VOC/geran or the official specification.

Where this EV road tax figure comes from
The 2026 EV road tax structure is officially confirmed: Buletin MOT 2024 Edisi 01 (p.14) announced on 4 June 2024 that the new zero-emission vehicle road tax takes effect on 1 January 2026, is calculated from electric motor power, rises with power, and is on average about 85% lower. What is NOT in any official document we found as of 28 July 2026 is the detailed table itself — groups A–K, the base rates and the per-10 kW increments. Those detailed figures rest on motoring reports (paultan.org, Carlist, Motorist) that all appeared within days of the 1 January change and may trace back to a single announcement — treat them as one secondary account carried by several outlets, not as several independent confirmations. What we can verify ourselves is that our arithmetic reproduces their published model figures exactly. Confirm your actual amount with MyJPJ or a JPJ counter before paying.

Important note
This calculation is an estimate for education and early planning only. Actual results can differ according to your inputs, current policies, official documents, contracts, rates, charges and the methods used by the relevant provider. Check with the official authority or institution before making a financial decision.
Use this result as an estimate, simulation or early check before comparing it with your actual documents, contracts or records.
Reference basis
Estimated annual road tax for a private BEV/FCEV under the 2026 ZEV LKM structure, in force from 1 January 2026. The rate is charged on electric motor output in kW/W, not on battery capacity in kWh and not on engine capacity in cc. The POLICY has a primary official source: Buletin MOT 2024 Edisi 01 (p.14) announced the commencement date, the motor-power basis, the rise with power and the average ~85% reduction. WHAT IS SECONDARY is the detailed table: as at 28 July 2026 the groups A-K, the base rates and the per-10 kW increments could not be traced to any official document, and rest on motoring reports (paultan.org, Carlist, Motorist) that all appeared within days of the 1 January change and may trace back to a single announcement — one secondary account carried by several outlets, not several independent confirmations. The Careta report is listed but cited only for the new kW structure and the RM20 floor; its headline states a maximum of RM850, which does not match the RM20,000 group K cap here, so it is not support for the detailed table. The EV guideline JPJ still publishes uses a different structure and conflicts with these figures.
Key assumptions
⚠ Rate provenance (layered)
The 2026 ZEV road tax POLICY is officially announced in Buletin MOT 2024 Edisi 01 (p.14) — do not read this note as 'EV road tax has no official basis'. What has NO primary source as at 28 July 2026 is the detailed table: groups A-K, base rates and the per-10 kW increments. Those figures rest on consistent motoring reports, on matching the shape of the official announcement, and on reproducing published model figures exactly. Confirm the real amount with MyJPJ or a JPJ counter before you pay.
Basis of calculation
Electric motor output in kW (converted to whole watts internally to avoid decimal boundary errors). NOT battery capacity in kWh, and not engine capacity. Each group carries a base rate covering power up to a stated point, then adds a fixed amount for every further 10 kW, capped at the group maximum. Group K is a single flat rate.
Vehicle scope
Private battery-electric and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Plug-in hybrids and conventional hybrids are OUT of scope and return a not-applicable result: they retain a cc-rated engine and are charged under the engine-capacity schedule instead.
Ownership does not change the figure
Unlike the engine-capacity schedule, where a Peninsular saloon is split between individual (AB) and company (AC), the 2026 ZEV structure published here varies with motor power alone. This route therefore offers no ownership control.
Final confirmation
The official rate at renewal is set by JPJ/MyJPJ from the motor power recorded against the vehicle. Re-check whenever MOT or JPJ gazettes a new schedule — the structure is stated to be reviewed at least every five years.

On the power of the electric motor, measured in kilowatts, not on battery capacity in kWh and not on engine capacity in cc. The structure took effect on 1 January 2026, when the earlier EV road tax exemption ended. Each power band has a base rate that covers power up to a certain point, then adds a fixed amount for every further 10 kW, up to a cap for that band. Enter your motor power in the calculator to see which band applies and how the figure is built.
No, and mixing them up is the single most common error here. kW is the power the motor can deliver, and it is what road tax is charged on. kWh is how much energy the battery stores, which is what determines range. A car with a 60 kWh battery and a 150 kW motor is taxed on the 150, not the 60. The figure you need is on the VOC/geran or in the official specification.
No. A conventional hybrid or a plug-in hybrid still has a petrol or diesel engine with a cc rating, so its road tax is worked out the ordinary way under the engine-capacity schedule. This schedule covers only battery electric and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Select a hybrid in the calculator and it will say so and point you to the right tool.
Electric vehicles were exempt from road tax up to 31 December 2025. The Ministry of Transport announced the replacement structure in its 2024 bulletin: charged on electric motor power, rising with power, effective 1 January 2026, and on average around 85% lower than the older EV guideline it replaced. The structure is reviewed at least once every five years.
Treat it as an estimate and confirm before you pay. The policy behind the 2026 structure is officially announced, but the detailed band table — the groups, the base rates and the per-10 kW increments — is not published in any official document we have been able to find. See the note above the table for exactly what is sourced and what is not. Your actual amount is set by JPJ from the details recorded against your vehicle, so check MyJPJ or a JPJ counter.
