What if your petrol subsidy could pay for more than petrol?
Swapsidy is asking the government to let it work toward your EV, your charging, and your solar instead.
It does not exist yet. If you want it, pledge for it.
As seen on
Switching should feel easier to afford
You may already be thinking about solar or EV. But the cost still makes you wait. Even if the switch looks good long term, many Malaysians still ask the same thing. Can I afford this every month?
What if petrol subsidy support could help lower the cost of making the switch?
What would you swap for?
Part of petrol subsidy support could go toward EV financing, EV charging or solar financing to make the switch more affordable.
This option does not exist yet. Your pledge helps show the policymakers that Malaysians want this choice.
What could life look like with the swap?
Adjust the sliders. Compare basic petrol car today with a basic EV and solar future.

Today, petrol subsidy helps you save at the pump. Swapsidy is rallying public support for one simple option: let Malaysians use part of petrol subsidy support for the swap of their choice. That means the same support could help lower more of your daily costs.
And when Malaysians pledge together, the case for change gets stronger.
If one million households pledge
A year in permanent savings for Malaysia
That is real money the country could put toward the things we all need. Here is what RM 1.8 billion a year could unlock.
New MRT or LRT stations built each year
new modern buses on Malaysian roads
new bus routes nationwide
Every pledge helps show the government that Malaysians want this option.

Frequently
Asked Question
Answers to common questions about the campaign and how it works.
Swapsidy is a public petition asking the policymakers to consider a new option for petrol subsidy.
The idea is simple: Malaysians can still use petrol subsidy for petrol, but those who want another option could swap part of it into EV financing, EV charging, or solar.
You are pledging your support for this swap option. It means you support the idea of giving Malaysians more ways to benefit from petrol subsidy, if the policymakers makes it possible.
No. Swapsidy is a petition to show the policymakers that Malaysians want this option. The more people pledge, the stronger the case.
No. The idea is not to take away petrol subsidy. The idea is to add a voluntary choice for Malaysians who want to use part of the support in other ways.
Swapsidy is a campaign by Bright Spots Energy and The Fourth. Together, they want to help Malaysians have more practical choices for petrol, solar, EVs and public transport.
You will answer four short questions about your EV plan, such as how much you drive, your petrol spending, and how the EV swap could help.
Because public support matters. A large number of pledges shows that Malaysians are ready for this option. The more Malaysians who pledge, the stronger the case for policymakers to consider it.
The original petrol subsidy supports Malaysians through energy and transportation costs, using a co-pay mechanism. Swapsidy builds on the same model to provide support in a way that could create greater value for households.
That is why Swapsidy focuses on EV financing, EV charging, and solar financing. These three work together as one journey. Someone starting today can begin with charging credits, then move to EV financing when ready, and eventually add solar to power the whole thing from home.
The goal is not to turn petrol subsidy into general cash support. The goal is to ask whether part of it can help Malaysians lower other energy and transport costs too.
Make the swap possible.
Petrol subsidy can give Malaysians more choice. Pledge your support and help make the case stronger.
