The latest preview of Perodua’s first EV is the eMO-II concept, unveiled at last year’s Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show 2024 (KLIMS 2024). This concept car provides a glimpse of what’s to come for Perodua’s first EV model.
Aiming for a sub-RM100k price point, the production version is expected to feature a single motor on the front axle, producing 160 hp (120 kW) and 220 Nm. The targeted range on a single charge is around 400 km, from a 50-60 kWh battery pack.
Most recently, Perodua has signed a strategic partnership with Telekom Malaysia (TM) to advance the carmaker’s EV development and co-develop several products, which includes a customised infotainment system.
