JAKARTA - Electric cars with tiny dimensions are certainly suitable for use in urban areas, including the Seres E1 model which is marketed through PT Sokoindo Automobile.

Last year, this time the VOI team had the opportunity to try out this one car on the Jakarta-Pantai Indah Kapuk route and return to Jakarta again.

So how does it feel? Before discussing the sensation of driving, it's incomplete if you don't see the design of this tiny car.

Design
