Perodua’s first production electric vehicle (EV) is set to launch this December, with testing expected to begin in June, Sime Darby group CEO Datuk Jeffri Salim Davidson has revealed to the New Straits Times.
“The EV space is where we see strong potential. The demand is growing, and we are positioning ourselves accordingly,” Jeffri said, adding that the model, previewed by the eMO-II Concept at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2024, has received positive feedback.
The Perodua EV is expected to be priced around RM80,000 without the battery – the battery could be instead leased, eliminating worries about degradation and resale value. No suitable Daihatsu donor car, so Perodua is self-developing the EV with local and foreign help.
Expect an LFP battery from CATL and around 400 km of range. At KLIMS 2024, a price range of RM50k to RM90k was mentioned, and Perodua believes that its EV will be the cheapest in the market, even after the current RM100k floor price for CBU imported EVs is lifted.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This guy is paid to draw only. Nothing is real eventually
Sime Darby CEO ni…. lembu punya susu, sapi dapat nama.
the wide ass range for the pricing indicates this car is going to be priced at RM89,999.99.
I just hope perodua don’t throw unnecesarry gimmicks on this car. Just improve the perceive quality to be on par with proton quality and add on perodua features then bam, it is a solid product
You mean DROP the quality to be on par with Proton?
When i said perceive quality it means thicker door to provide solid door shut and better nvh and also more comfortable seats
That’s not quality. Quality means less breakdown and malfunction.
This Perodua EV car is NOT THE SAME with Perodua we used to know as the old petrol cars are rebadged of Daihatsu. This new Perodua is witj a local company with no experience with EV cars.
Perodua should at least Tie up with BYD or Grwaf Wall to come with this new EV cars.
But Myvi and Bezza are Perodua’s own design. As matter of fact, Daihatsu is rebadging Myvi to be Sirion.
If you really want an EV, just get BYD M6, it is 100k, 7 seater MPV, fully CBU and most importantly you get the battery not this stupid ass rent the battery shit.
If you wanna buy an EV, DO NOT USE CHINA BATTERY, IT WILL EXPLODE!
Buy the EV without battery? Need to lease battery?
CATL？？？？？ China Battery????
sure lotsa explosion this time, what a stupid move.
