As said by pauline :
Doesn’t Perodua have a foreign partner in Daihatsu? Yes, but Japan not being at the forefront of EV development is well documented, and Daihatsu – and parent Toyota for that matter – does not have a suitable donor car for P2 to base its first EV on.
An EV in 2025 wasn’t even on the company’s plans just a couple of years back. Tasked by the government to produce one, and with no help from Japan, Perodua had to start from scratch in August 2023. To make things even more ‘interesting’ the government announced the deadline publicly, which meant that P2 had to deliver in 2025, by hook or crook. After RM800 million and 266,000 man-hours on R&D, here we are, just in time.
Prc have over a hundred ev manufacturers and many more ev components vendors. Many ev components could be bought from the shelf.Doesn’t Perodua have a foreign partner in Daihatsu?

Perodua could tap resources from PRC.
