Don't believe it will ever come to Malaysia? Well, Proton going to sell an EV earliest in 2010. Haha...trully Malaysia is a land that is full of wonders...development so advance even their own citizen couldn't forsee its future growth hahahaha!!! Get a little life by shutting-up...just ride with the technology ppl.

How could tuning an electric car could be? Add supercap for short burst(simliar to Nox Injection and its rechargable)? Extra wide wheels for the huge torque? Whats else? Nothing much! bmpower, indeed, people will be missing the traditional raw muscular vroom vroom flesh. How could tuning an electric car could be?

(but tuning for more megawatt?: OMG.. i dun like it.) In anyother way.. electric car main problem is , it;s take to much time to charge the battery.. if only take few seconds, i wanna the one those wanted to open couples of "Electric Station" in Klang Valley.. :D im not like all electric car..

I wonder how an exploding car sized li-ion cell is gonna look like. Hehehe, and the lithium flame cannot be extinguished by conventional means. Water wont work.. even CO2 based extinguishers will have problems putting it out. remember the numerous cases of notebook battery recalls after some notebooks exploded (literally)?

Electric car is no longer sci-fi stuff like in the 80s or early 90s. Best of all Mits's i have a household plug-in capabilities. Its like charging an oversize handphone now. I remember TNB did some electric car research some time ago. Then this InventQ sumthing oso was saying they got an electric car at final stage of R&D. Whatever happen to those fella??? everytime i read about electric car, i just wonder when will we get one here??? Electric car is no longer sci-fi stuff like in the 80s or early 90s.

Sure, we have hydroelectric power also, but its only a small percentage of our countries power generation. I believe many other countries also face the same problems with this dilemma.

Actually, "MIEV" is means "Mitsubishi In wheel Electric Vehicle" and "MiEV" is means "Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle", two different kind of Concepts. Please read Mitsubishi Official Press Released sorry in Japanese. Also, they had made some comparison on Current Gasoline engine "i" and EV "i" too. The max. torque for Gasoline "i" is 94Nm (7500rpm max) but the EV one got 180Nm (8500rpm max) almost DOUBLE of it. I guess the price is around RM40k to RM50k each at Japan. If selling RM45K in Malaysia I am planning to buy one of these. Check this out -> http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/pressrelease/j/corporate/detail1533.html Hey Paul,
