Proton e.MAS 7 remains bestselling EV in Malaysia

The Proton e.MAS 7 remained at the very top of the EV segment again in August, cementing its position as the bestselling EV model in Malaysia throughout 2025.

In fact, from the first full month of deliveries in January, the e.MAS 7 has been ranked No.1 in numbers and after 8 months, the cumulative total has reached 5,455 units, with another 356 units exported.

Based on the latest JPJ registration data, PROTON’s first production EV model has captured a 24% share of the domestic EV market, meaning that one in every four EVs delivered has been the e.MAS 7.

Local assembly
The e.MAS 7 is now being assembledat the new facility for EV production at PROTON’s manufacturing complex in the Automotive Hi-Tech Valley in Tg. Malim, Perak. Local production at the facility will initially be 20,000 units a year (which will include the upcoming e.MAS 5). As demand grows – which will surely happen – the output can be increased to as high as 45,000 units a year.

Local assembly will strengthen PROTON’s role in developing Malaysia’s EV ecosystem by improving accessibility, creating new skilled jobs, and enabling greater participation of local vendors in the supply chain.
