nice,
but in truth,
there's very little in the way of more information,
to say either yeigh or neigh...
will just have to wait for the official intro.

One thing I hate with PH assembled vehicles... they didn't consider the balance of the vehicle...

having a heavier front than the rear is normal (especially now with front wheel drive vehicles)

pero having the left (or right) side of the vehicle heavier without any adjustments made in the suspension is a big red flag for me.

so the concept of the ELECTRON may be cute (its not that hard... you can practically buy everything you need online) - it will just remain as a "Sunday car"

^Hindi kaya rebadge from existing Chinese car?

^Hindi kaya rebadge from existing Chinese car?

Likely. But I don't mind, as long as its built here. I don't even mind if its not cheaper than BYD, as long as the factory is here and its providing jobs for Filipinos.

^Hindi kaya rebadge from existing Chinese car?

Most likely but with emphasis on what components (likely minor) can be manufactured or assembled here based on the tenor of the article. They need 1,000 preorders. That's Changan (2025) territory.

Looks like it will be designed from the ground up.

But if we base it from an earlier article, it will be made in China and US.

Sana noon pa. Dinadaig pa tuloy ng mga iilang former communist countries ngayon kasi halatang hindi talaga nag-think ahead ang local industry para sa future tapos yung iba nagtataka o umaangal dahil ang laki ng mga imports. Naalala ko tuloy yung mga binibili na surplus buses dati na ginagamit sa public transits na mano-mano pa ang pag-gagawa ng mga refurbishments dito bago sila maging operational sa biyahe. To be frank, sobrang barok na ng mga yun compared sa mga nabibiling common na brand new bus units na kasulukuyang meron sa market since mga 2010s.

Maganda nga mag start sa re badge facelift, or shared platform, para sa parts scale cost.

Tapos sana focus sa sub 4meters 1200kg 5 door gaya ng Seagull, Hongguang, Spring/EX1. 800K php range.

Mag offer din sana ng EV kit pang OTJ, na registered sa DOE, kahit na basic in-axle motors.

Grassroots muna.
