Sime Motors has introduced Malaysia’s first used electric vehicle (EV) dealership for all car brands in the country.

Called EV Next, the dealership will be a one-stop centre for used EV trade-ins and aftersales support.

Sime Motors said it has equipped the dealership with the latest technology and tools, along with certified technicians, to ensure EVs, including their batteries, remain in top-notch condition.

Complementing EV Next is Drivecare, an independent aftersales network under Sime Motors.

The EV Next portfolio offers a wide selection of EV brands including BYD, BMW, MINI, Hyundai, Jaguar, Porsche and Volvo.

Sime Motors’ managing director for South-East Asia, Jeffrey Gan, said the company sees demand for well-maintained used EVs in the market.

“We are confident of delivering high-quality products to our customers.

“Our comprehensive end-to-end service ensures peace of mind throughout their EV ownership experience.

“By doing so, we aim to build trust, reliability and confidence at every stage of the EV ownership experience,” Gan said.

Meanwhile, Sime Motors managing director Andrew Basham said EV Next is designed to cater to diverse lifestyles.

“The demand for EVs has been on a steady growth in Malaysia, reflecting the popularity of sustainable mobility.

“Our unwavering commitment to driving progress toward a greener future ensures we deliver the best products and solutions to our customers across the region.”

Customers looking to trade in their EVs or purchase a used one can visit EV Next showrooms in Glenmarie, Chan Sow Lin and TREC Kuala Lumpur.

EV Next is expanding nationwide, with new locations in Penang, Tebrau and Johor Baru.
