SINGAPORE - Stanley Chia, the sales director of Lexus as Borneo Motors Singapore, is cautiously optimistic about the Japanese luxury brand’s prospects for the near future in Singapore.
Even though the authorities have been actively placing public EV chargers everywhere, Chia feels that there is still a lot of public education and adaptation to be done. In the meantime, petrol-electric hybrids fill the role nicely by having typically long driving ranges between fill-ups, and feature electrification without the fear of being stranded without a charger in sight, or having limited driving range into Malaysia.
There are exceptions to the rule however, such as with Nissan’s e-Power cars that use the petrol engine solely for charging the batteries, and only the electric motor is used to actually provide driving force. Either way, it’s a lot more efficient on fuel than to just use it to directly drive a car, as it has been the way since automobiles were developed.
