Very affordable in China, but may not be so in SG. Regardless, Wuling should quickly setup a dealership here since we're all in the happy RCEP family.  :grin:

This is a piece of good news. There is hope that in future electric car will be widespread admit now had a breakthrough of able to charge electric car in 5 minutes. 

 

So future will be instead of going to petrol station to pump petrol, we go to that same station to charge up car.

EU electric and plug-in hybrid car sales jump to over 1 million in 2020

Sales of electric and plug-in hybrid cars in the European Union almost trebled to over 1 million vehicles last year, accounting for more than 10per cent of overall sales, data showed on Thursday. 

The data released by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) showed sales of fully-electric and plug-in hybrids surged to 1.046 million vehicles from 387,808 in 2019.

Sales of self-charging hybrid cars climbed 59per cent to 1.182 million last year while petrol and diesel vehicle sales fell 37per cent and 32per cent respectively, the data showed. Petrol cars remained the biggest seller, however, accounting for 48per cent of all EU sales.

Tesla tells nickel-rich Indonesia it wants to join battery project

Electric vehicle maker joins CATL and LG Chem to create supply chain

https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Tesla-tells-nickel-rich-Indonesia-it-wants-to-join-battery-project

JAKARTA -- U.S. electric vehicle maker Tesla has proposed joining Indonesia's plans to create an EV battery supply chain within the country, a senior Indonesian government official said on Friday.

The government received Tesla's proposal on Thursday, Septian Hari Seto, deputy for investment and mining at the Coordinating Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Investment, said in a news briefing on Friday.

The nickel-rich country is already in talks with China's Contemporary Amperex Technology, better known as CATL, and South Korea's LG Chem regarding the plans to create its own EV battery supply chain covering the whole breadth from upstream to downstream.

"We are very excited because this Tesla lithium battery technology is among the best in the world," Seto said. "If we have investment from CATL, LG ... plus Tesla, we can learn a lot from here. Because what we ask is a transfer of technology. This is an opportunity to collaborate with three world-class companies with advanced lithium battery technology."

The deputy said there is "potential for cooperation over energy storage system" with Tesla, such as "power banks of up to tens of megawatts with the idea of being able to replace peaking power plants when electricity demand far exceeds average usage."

"We can't allow [Tesla involvement] if they only want to take raw materials. [This proposal] is going beyond just taking raw materials," Seto said.

Indonesia accounts for 23% of global nickel reserves, the world's biggest. Nickel is a key material in EV batteries, and the government is hoping the reserves, along with investments from the world's leading battery and chemical companies, can help position the country as a key player in the global electric vehicle market. It is also keen to make the archipelago a hub for production of electric vehicles themselves.

Indonesia's plans for creating a competitive EV battery industry, as well as the prospect of investment by leading foreign companies, has led to a rally in shares of country's nickel producers in the past several months. State-controlled Aneka Tambang has seen its share price skyrocket 230% since the start of October, while shares in Vale Indonesia, the country's largest nickel producer by output, rose 60% in the same period.

State-owned mining holding company Mind Id acquired a 20% stake in Vale Indonesia last year for 5.52 trillion rupiah ($374 million). Aneka Tambang is also under Mind Id.

The Indonesian government reinstated its ban on exports of nickel ore in January last year, two years ahead of its planned date, to support the development of a downstream nickel industry.

More incentives for e-vehicles in the pipeline

Vehicular Emissions Scheme as well as the Electric Vehicle Early Adoption Incentive accord an electric car buyer as much as $45,000 in tax breaks.

The road tax formula has also been revised to make it less onerous for electric car owners.  --> "Less onerous" does not mean less costly  [laugh]

The Government said all new cars registered from 2030 will have to be "cleaner-energy models", but did not specify what these are.

More than double the targeted number of EV charging points from 28,000 to 60,000 by 2030.

Singapore aims to have three-quarters of morning-peak commutes done by buses and trains. To this end, car-free town centres are also being developed, the first one being in Tengah.  --> Prepare to pay more if you need to drive during morning peak hour.

If "car-free" also means no other vehicles, then it will be quite a hassle to access the Tengah town centre, especially those with kids and elderly.  Ironically, the government is destroying a lot of forests there to build the new town and claims that it will be green.
