The current road tax cost for XPeng electric vehicles (EVs) in Malaysia is RM 0.00. This exemption applies to all XPeng models, including the G6 580 Pro and X9 Long Range 2WD Pro Plus, as part of Malaysia’s incentives to promote EV adoption. The exemption is valid until December 31, 2025, after which a new road tax structure for EVs will take effect.

Which XPeng Models Are Exempt from Road Tax?
All XPeng models in Malaysia currently have a road tax cost of RM 0.00. Examples include the XPeng G6 580 Pro (2025), XPeng X9 Long Range 2WD Pro Plus (2025), and XPeng X9 Standard Range 2WD Pro (2025). These exemptions are in line with Malaysia’s policy to encourage EV ownership by waiving road tax fees temporarily.
How Is Road Tax Calculated for EVs in Malaysia?
Road tax for EVs in Malaysia is currently exempt but will transition to a power-based system starting January 1, 2026. The new structure calculates road tax based on the vehicle’s power output in kilowatts (kW). For example, EVs with outputs between 1W and 100,000W (100 kW) will have a minimum yearly road tax of RM 20, with incremental increases of RM 10 per 9.999 kW block. Higher power bands will have progressively higher rates.
What Will Be the Future Road Tax for XPeng EVs After 2025?
Starting in 2026, XPeng EVs will be subject to Malaysia’s new EV road tax structure. For instance, an EV with 100 kW output will cost RM 70 per year, while a 250 kW EV (such as the XPeng G6 755 Long Range) will cost RM 395 annually. This is significantly lower than the previous proposed rates, making EV ownership more affordable compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
How Does XPeng’s Road Tax Compare to Other EVs in Malaysia?
XPeng’s road tax is identical to other EVs in Malaysia, as all are currently exempt until 2026. Post-2025, rates will depend on power output. For example, the BYD Dolphin (70 kW) will cost RM 40 per year, while high-performance EVs like the Tesla Model 3 Performance (338 kW) will cost RM 1,640 annually.
What Is the Cost of Insurance for XPeng EVs in Malaysia?
Insurance costs for XPeng EVs vary by model and coverage type. For example, the XPeng G6 580 Pro has an estimated annual insurance cost of around RM 4,500, while the XPeng X9 Long Range 2WD Pro Plus may cost approximately RM 8,066 per year. Factors influencing insurance premiums include vehicle value, coverage type (comprehensive or third-party), and No Claims Discount (NCD) eligibility. Renewal costs may decrease with accumulated NCD benefits.
Are There Additional Fees When Registering an XPeng EV?
Besides road tax and insurance, XPeng EV owners must pay registration fees. For example, the XPeng G6 580 Standard Range has an off-road price of RM 165,690, with additional fees including RM 60 for registration and RM 50 for plate number registration, bringing the total on-road price to RM 165,820. These fees are standard across all new vehicle registrations in Malaysia.
How Does Location Affect XPeng Road Tax and Insurance?
Road tax exemptions apply nationwide, but insurance costs may vary by region. Peninsular Malaysia typically has higher insurance premiums compared to Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan due to differing risk assessments. However, since road tax is exempt for EVs until 2025, location does not currently impact this cost.
What Are the Warranty and Maintenance Costs for XPeng EVs?
XPeng offers a 5-year/unlimited-kilometer warranty for its vehicles, with an 8-year battery warranty. Maintenance costs for EVs are generally lower than ICE vehicles due to fewer moving parts and no engine oil changes. However, battery replacement costs outside warranty periods can be significant, though this is mitigated by Malaysia’s mandatory 8-year battery coverage.
Where Can I Verify XPeng Road Tax and Ownership Costs?
Official sources include the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and XPeng Malaysia’s authorized dealers. Websites like CarBase.my and Paultan.org provide updated road tax calculators and EV-specific cost breakdowns. For the latest updates, always refer to JPJ announcements or XPeng’s official communications.
