With a range of 160KM and a charge time of 6 hours at home socket, plus a fast charge option, it is highly practical for everyday use, I can use it for 2 days without charging. Just wonder how much it will cost here, and how much TNB bill it will cost. And to the side topic... don't say gov has nothing to do with the environment thing, BN gov ridicule opposition for riding bicycle to parliament, to me it is a pretty good message that we should cut petrol with paddle. This is exactly like the road situation in Malaysia, the street is deadly to any riders, with red head morons roaming the street. I am not even talking about bicycle lane, some roads with lots of pedestrians dont even have proper walking lane or sky bridge! Back to the topic, iMiVEC is a rather interesting EV.

Dont talk about environment when you less care about it at the first place. Why must wait for the Govt to change?

Things will not changed, if we dont change ourselves…

Start with ourselves, our kids, our family… then, it will be possible to change the way we live, we act together with environment…

Dont talk about environment when you less care about it at the first place.

Other thing? such as... are you willing bring your own plastic bag to supermarket to reduce its usage? are you kind enough to separate bottles, papers and plastics for separate bins? are you willing to walk or ride a bicycle to nearest shop to buy your groceries? do you keep your waste to yourself until you find a garbage bin? Do you really care about environment or just wanna go with the trend of having latest item? malaysians are concern about environment when it is about car…

Other thing? such as…

are you willing bring your own plastic bag to supermarket to reduce its usage?

are you kind enough to separate bottles, papers and plastics for separate bins?

are you willing to walk or ride a bicycle to nearest shop to buy your groceries?

do you keep your waste to yourself until you find a garbage bin?

Do you really care about environment or just wanna go with the trend of having latest item?

Wonder if Mitsubishi would introduce this to our market? TNB shd also push for the intro of batt powered cars. Which will translate to higher revenue!! Even the 2 year tax exemption for Hybrid cars would be expiring by end 2009 and there was no mention of its extension during the recent NAP.Same goes for green energy development. Opportunity is there but we have to act quick b4 giants like China come into the picture!! Nice & futuristic looking ride.

We have to protect the interest of others and this impedes progress, the Government realises & knows this but they cannot do much because they cannot afford to lose votes & support from various parties with vetted interest. Not so much about the real issue but issue of balance, politics, and interest. Difficult for Malaysia to keep up with progress around us because our Government does have its own problems.

In this way we would be pioneers and wld not hv to compete with Indo orThailand in the same competitive segment. Looking forward to more EV launche and the improvement in battery technology.
