Chery Malaysia has now announced that they have obtained SIRIM certification for their electric vehicle battery offerings, making Chery the first in Malaysia with such certification.
Chery said that this Sirim certification also confirms that Chery electric vehicles come with batteries that are believed to be safe and exceed the high quality standards set. At the same time, this also makes it more convincing for local consumers to get Chery vehicles.
Chery currently offers only one electric vehicle in Malaysia, the OMODA E5 at a price of RM146,800. It is powered by a 61kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery, with a driving range of up to 430km.
In addition to the battery for this vehicle, Chery also said that they will continue to obtain SIRIM certification for future vehicle offerings in Malaysia soon.
