• Dragon Fish : Dont think will target Spore market. Too small and BYD already taken over Spore Turf.
  
  
  In Singapore, BYD has become the best-selling electric vehicle (EV) brand, overtaking Tesla in recent years. The most popular model from BYD is the ATTO 3, which costs around S$183,888 to S$202,888, including the high Certificate of Entitlement (COE) costs. Tesla's Model Y, another top contender, starts at around S$132,620 before adding COE. These two brands dominate the EV market, followed by BMW, as more Singaporeans transition to electric cars despite the relatively high ownership costs.

• Dragon Fish TWP PaPa OP : It's a bit hard to enter the Spore market now. Why waste the resources again to capture Spore small market.

• Dragon Fish TWP PaPa OP : Msia Geely will have advantage as they are Proton  shareholder setting up EV plant in Msia. No hope already.
  
  
  Geely has indeed set up a major EV initiative in Malaysia. In collaboration with Malaysian conglomerate DRB-Hicom, Geely is investing in the development of the Automotive Hi-Tech Valley (AHTV) in Tanjung Malim. This joint venture aims to establish a next-generation automotive hub, focusing on electric vehicles (EVs) and high-tech manufacturing. The AHTV will include research and development centers, training institutions, and manufacturing clusters, with Proton relocating its entire production to this hub by 2026. This initiative is expected to attract over MYR 32 billion ($6.83 billion) in investments.
  
  Additionally, Geely's investment of $10 billion in Malaysia aims to transform Tanjung Malim into the region's largest vehicle manufacturing center, creating thousands of jobs and further boosting Proton's manufacturing capabilities.

• GoldDragon : Maybe in the spirit to link China to the connected land masses, it might make marketing sense to have swap stations in the neighbouring countries. Technically it take about 3 days to drive down from Beijing to Singapore. Land is super expensive in Singapore, don't think in make much business sense to have too many swap stations in Singapore if Nio ever comes here. Charging probably will still be more mainstream.

• Dragon Fish TWP PaPa OP : Proton is a National Car brand. Geely saved Proton from winding up when purchased almost half of Proton shares and transformed the company from loss making into a profitable company. You think Nio can beat Geely in Msia? PMX is so happy courting Geely to invest multi billion dollars in Msia with incentives. Nio only wants to sell EVs in Msia and is not fit to Msia EV criteria to enjoy the benefit. Nio needs to set up an assembly plant in Msia too.
  
  
  Yes, Malaysia offers incentives for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, but to benefit from these, companies are encouraged to set up local assembly plants. Malaysia's government is focused on promoting local manufacturing and reducing its carbon footprint. For example, Great Wall Motor has partnered with EPMB to establish a new plant for assembling EVs in the country, enabling them to tap into the growing EV market and the associated benefits, such as tax breaks and other incentives.
  
  The government’s goal is to increase EV adoption and infrastructure, which includes promoting the production of energy-efficient vehicles locally through initiatives like the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint. By investing in local assembly, manufacturers not only meet government conditions but also position themselves to serve both domestic and regional markets.
