JAKARTA - Perodua, an automotive brand under the auspices of Daihatsu Malaysia, brought a prototype of an electric vehicle (EV) named Emo-1 to the Malaysia Autoshow 2024 exhibition. This car takes a base from Perodua Myvi or Daihatsu Sirion which is sold in Indonesia.
Reporting from Paultan, Wednesday, May 22, this model was presented for the study needs of electric vehicles. In addition, emo-1 weighs more than 1,400 kg and this project has been in the works since September 2022. However, construction actually only started nine months ago, and the final construction was completed with the help of partners from Australia.
This conversion is the beginning of further development, and the company says that the updated concept will be displayed later this year.
Talking about the specifications, this emo-1 is equipped with an electric motorbike measuring 120 kW and a top torque of 220 Nm, so it is enough to make this hatchback run from 0 to 100 km/hour about 7-9 seconds.

Equipped with an NMC lithium-ion battery with a capacity of up to 57.6 kWh, the emo-1 can run up to a range of 350-400 km in one charge.
In addition, this model has impressive charging capabilities that can be fully charged in five hours with an 11 kW AC system and more than an hour with a 50 kW DC charging.
Another surprising news is that Perodua confirms that it will produce emo-1 next year and there will be a price range set for the brand's first EV.
This brand from Malaysia says that the price is between 50,000 and 100,000 ringgit (equivalent to Rp170.4 million and Rp340.8 million). The producer added that there would be a new mechanism to ensure a better resale value in this model.
