Tips for ETCM:
Must bring the cars to Premium Hybrid Cars S/B, rebadge, add extra RM50K as ‘patriotic’ sales tax and expect us to hail it, buy it. Go green! Save the planet! Support the cronies and the crooks! Buy it now!

Does anyone here read the yesterday newspaper?
Proton is going to release electrical sport car (Lotus based) within a year…they stated u can save ur money for petrol but 18sen per km for electric and it can run for 36 hours or 320KM. It required 6 hours to fully charge the car. Quite interesting. The PM already test drive it.

One of those ugly designs that should have never been born. And no, design is not subjective, something is either ugly or beautiful; full stop.
Electric cars can come to market even today, heck in the late 1800s and early 1900s, there were more electric cars than gasoline ones. But similar problems still plague them today. Of course opinions are abound that the oil companies killed off the early electric cars which is true to a certain extent but electric cars simply cannot meet overall needs of consumers. The development curve for pure electric cars, which simply means the amount of development which needs to be done to meet current and new (future) trends is steep because of several factors such cost, time and technical commital.

2015 huh? Hopefully the price would not cost a bomb to own. And why not use more conventional design. This car is wierd, cute…it’s an acquired taste. As for me it’s oooooookey la. Look for any other design in the future.

2015? Right on time. Isn’t that the same year we predicted when we run out of fuel?

2015 is a good target for electric vehicles to hit us, they might look hi tech and expensive now but by then the oil price will rise so sharply that we’ll have to rely on other modes of power like electric, hydrogen and biodiesel… the range for electric cars should be better for the future anyway as battery technology improves. Running an electric car might end up cheaper than normal petrol one

The limiting factor here would be range. Cool for urban commutes but you can’t jump in and drive to Penang and back.

whats with the lightning on the grille….so weird.

but to implement it here by 2015 is too optimistic.

with the way our economy is going south, i say 2020.

and is there any country in the world right now where electric vehicles are commonplace?
