COE crashed to $10k.

I go renew my old pok car with high pollutant.

 

please take cue number..

[DACH]

new technology is always expensive at first. hoping that the technology and local infrastructure can improve with time so that one day all cars on the road are electric cars ðð

I just hope hydrogen powered engine technology will accelerate within the next five years.

It has a big potential as a viable alternative energy option.

[Soya]

with this confusion.. letâs hope more ppl stay sideline donât book car.. COE not pressured upwards..

It also means SEs hv another 6 mths to play the ‘buy now if not price go up’ scare tactic

Friend, technologies advanced already.

Not 20th century liao. 

[Apple-Tree]

Hydrogen is hydrogen lor ....... remember that science experiment in school ....... pop lor

BMW i3 and i8

i8 is not electric car

[DACH]

i8 is not electric car

Ok, my mistake.

 

It's a plugin hybrid car.

Toyota Mirai is the only fuel cell hybrid vehicles

 

Fuel cell is the best alternative to fossil fuel

[Jwee85]

from my crude understanding.

 

The Lightest body weight, plus, the lightest wheel/rims combo, plus, the narrowest least resistance tyres, plus,the leanest engine set-up(dont care about engine life), plus, start stop system, plus, cylinder deactivation, plus, no-aircon, etc.

 

I think Kei car will be favourable to get $20k rebate..

More than half of new Norway car sales now electric or hybrid

Now this is the way forward which should not be too difficult for a small country.

But alas ..... everyone here knows the story.

[Apple-Tree]

Exactly lor, left Toyota ....... last time a lot of manufacturer did spend on R&D fuel cell ....... I think Merc spent a lot lor ??

 

 

Just imagine, as my precious Diesel Kia stopping at a junction and the car beside infront behind a Mirai exploded ....... yalor .....

That's true. But again, it comes down to infrastructure and tax incentives for it to have any chance of widespread adoption. 

 

Was watching a Consumer Reports episode about most hated cars in 2017, and one of the guys cited the Toyota Mirai. Not because it was a bad car, but because the nearest hydrogen filling station was 30 miles away. 

 

If the government is serious about it, its not rocket science to put in effective policies because many countries have done so effective, and not to mention that Singapore is in a perfect position for efficient infrastructure build out because its a rich city state with high population density. 

 

So big question is whether the political will to allocate the necessary budget is there - in order to build up the infrastructure and to give significant tax incentives like Norway to promote clean cars - OR does the government simply look at private transport as a cash cow, where clean cars are good to have as long as they are cost neutral ? 

 

Looking at the half hearted measures to date, I suspect its the latter.
