The Dongfeng Box EV Checks All Boxes


Listen Later

Get ready for another episode of Cruise Control as we dive into the latest automotive news! Discover how a 14.2% electricity tariff increase in Malaysia, starting July 2025, could change the EV game — will charging your electric car become more expensive? Plus, PUSPAKOM Wangsa Maju is closing its doors! How will this affect vehicle inspections in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur? Also, will Zeekr's advanced battery tech power up Proton cars, and can Volkswagen deliver a budget-friendly EV by 2027? Tune in as our crew finds out!

 

With Perodua flush with cash reserves and needing an electric car platform, Nissan’s successful LEAF model and e-POWER technology could be just what they need to expand their offerings in Southeast Asia’s growing hybrid and electric market. Join Ali, Richard and Daniel as they ponder whether Perodua should consider acquiring Nissan.

 

And when it comes to a car review, this week we're featuring the Dongfeng ‘Nammi’, also known as BOX in Malaysia—a compact electric hatchback competing with models like BYD Dolphin and Ora Good Cat. Be sure to tune in as we discuss its performance metrics and why it might be worth considering before Perodua launches its own electric offering!
