Cooler than ICE

Singapore

PEOPLE who work in the car trade overseas often say that Singapore is the perfect country for Electric Vehicles (EVs), given its small size and highly urban driving conditions. Be that as it may, someone usually has to tell them that Singaporeans aren't the perfect buyers for EVs.

If you have to pay more than anyone else in the world for your car, you really want it to tick every box out there, which means it has to be able to, say, take you to Penang on a whim, even if you've ever only driven to Penang once in your life, if that. EV adoption is more about mentality than reality.
