The Malaysian automotive industry is buzzing over the Perodua eMO-II, an electric vehicle prototype that was initially shown at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2024. This small electric car represents Perodua’s goal of making transportation accessible and environmentally friendly for everyone. The eMO-II is expected to revolutionize Malaysian electric mobility norms with its cutting-edge technology and contemporary style. As the adoption of EVs grows, this could increase demand for EV chargers in Malaysia, making it crucial to expand charging infrastructure across the country.
Perodua aims to make the eMO-II one of the most affordable electric vehicles in Malaysia. The production model is projected to be priced below RM90,000, ensuring accessibility for a broader audience. This competitive pricing is a game-changer in the Malaysian EV market, where affordability remains a key barrier to adoption. The eMO-II’s cost-effectiveness aligns with Perodua’s strategy of delivering value-packed vehicles without compromising quality. The eMO-II is expected to hit the Malaysian roads by the end of 2025, following extensive testing and regulatory approvals. Perodua has emphasized its commitment to ensuring that the vehicle meets global safety and performance standards while catering to local needs
