The Perodua Emo-1, the first working prototype previewing an all-electric drivetrain for a battery EV (BEV) variant of the next generation Perodua Myvi. It will be launched in Malaysia by the end of 2025, with a price tag of under RM 100,000. Although it made its public debut as a working prototype, the public never got to see the Perodua Emo-1 being driven. Thanks to a LinkedIn post by Perodua’s Deputy General Manager for electric powertrain, Mr. Hasrol Hashim, we now get to see glimpses of the

Perodua’s first battery EV (BEV) model, a variant of the next generation Perodua Myvi, developed independently from Daihatsu, will be launched by end-2025. However, unlike the many Chinese BEV models being dumped on our market, Perodua’s BEV is developed with the unique needs of Malaysian customers in mind. More than just yet another BEV model, Perodua is working on the project with an end-to-end view, covering the total ownership cycle of the customer, from purchase to maintenance to reselling,

Perodua is mulling the construction of a new plant by 2025, to support series production of the next generation Perodua Myvi, which will include a battery EV (BEV) variant. Currently, Perodua has two plants, both located in Rawang, adjacent to each other. The older Perodua Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. (PMSB) currently builds the Alza, Aruz, and Myvi.

What you see here is not the next generation fully electric Perodua Myvi, but a working prototype showing the first iteration (emo-1) of Perodua’s upcoming battery electric vehicle (BEV). There will be at least three more iterations (culminating with emo-4), each better than the last, building up to an eventual series production model that will be launched by the end of 2025. Like the current generation Perodua Myvi, this Perodua emo-1 concept is developed independently by Perodua and is not bas

Contrary to earlier speculations, Perodua is skipping the development of hybrids to go fully electric, and this Perodua Myvi-based emo-1 concept is a preview of what’s to come in the sub-RM 100k battery electric vehicles (BEVs) segment. Like the current generation Myvi (and Bezza), the emo-1 concept is an effort by Perodua, not its technical partner Daihatsu. It is not based on any existing project by Daihatsu, which doesn’t have any BEV model that’s not a kei minivehicle. Instead, the Perodua e
