Expected Price of P2 EMO
leasing battery: <RM80k
with battery: <RM90k

One of the information that was shared was the fact that the EV is reaching 90-percent into development which means, the automaker will be able to launch the EV by the end of this year as stated.

Moreover, to make sure that the EMO is priced below RM100,000, Perodua will be introducing a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model—the first in Malaysia. Instead of owning the battery, buyers can lease it for a minimal monthly fee. The ‘rental’ fee is the minimum, and based on surveys by Perodua, many are in favour of this method, according to Zainal.

This strategy is also the national automaker’s way of addressing the issue of electric vehicle (EV) resale value. At present, EVs tend to depreciate more rapidly than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, primarily due to the high cost of battery replacement.

To counter this, customers have the option to purchase the EMO’s battery outright, which includes a standard eight-year warranty. Additionally, Zainal noted that if necessary, the EMO’s battery can be swapped in just 30 minutes.

Pre-production of the EMO will begin in September at Perodua’s new BEV facility in Sg Choh, where the company will produce around 500 units per month initially. The EV will also be the first Perodua model to use hot press-formed steel, with Zainal also confirming the platform is Perodua’s own IP, with no involvement from Daihatsu.

now you disconnect positive, negative, then reconnect both from the new battery.... I think also take less than 30 minutes

can existing BYD or Proton Geely replace theirs in 30 mins? or they are built-in and cannot be replaced and must scrape the whole car together? hence, resale value down the drain?

how about byd replacement...if byd cant do it i doubt p2 can

HPF steel, finally they invest in strengthening chassis

Launched 2025, deliver 2027

Can swap in 30mins also no use if no on hand spare part.
Sekian.

>battery rental

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

If it's designed from the start to be swappable, 30 minutes is more than enough. Nio has already demonstrated automated battery swapping at less than 5 minutes.

Hallo???!!!!!!! What in the blue hell are you promoting battery swapping in 30 minutes for? NIO is pioneer in this!!! Your 30 minutes means nothing if you are selling this concept without swap stations. Like NIO has it in CN for 5 MINUTES!!!

Fast charging is already breaching 15 minutes today and you are selling 30 minute battery swaps?? What kind of stupid is this?

pray ur parking lot dont have this ev

you won't get 15min full charge in Malaysia charging stations. that's for sure. in China maybe since they have 1MW charging stations and cold weather.

...why u comparing battery charging with battery swapping?

I'd have to say Syabas Perodua

Finally come out from the Daihatsu/Toyota closet.

If successful maybe we'd even see a rebadged Daihatsu/Toyota based on this Perodua

30mins swapping battery?

ktard say petrol 5mins je

YOLO

wa tarak excited at all, Perodua is newbie in EV era, if u dare u go and buy and become lab rat.

Battery is certainly quite ok with CATL battery, the other thing u need to watch out is P2 capability on building on the motor, as i know this motor is develop on their own even without Toyota help, Daihatsu has zero knowledge in EV car, even Toyota has to partner with China to build the whole supply chain.

Mind u the issue of battery leasing is yet to be disclose, many things need to sort out on this leasing scheme, does it require the owner pay for life for its battery?

Safety wise they better make sure it is comparable with the China one, the battery need to have good protective cover to prevent scratches and major accident.

Gonna kena black market.. people swap all the good battery out from P2 then change with cheap2 one.. then sell off.. new opportunity

exactly, i have no confidence in perodua without toyota. they should just continue to rebadge toyota models. yaris cross hybrid or myvi hybrid

I think today the media was told there is options for the battery.



Obviously the marketing are not yet confirmed.

Looks like EV can easily build
That's why Perodua and CCP so many EV brands
