For a car to truly go mainstream, affordability is key, and from a Malaysian perspective there are few cars that are more affordable to own and run than a compact runabout such as the Perodua Kancil.
Its present-day successor is the Perodua Axia E, and at RM22,000, is the cheapest new car on sale Malaysia as of its launch in June last year. What if Perodua rolled out a fully electric model in the same vein, and possibly brought back the Kancil nameplate with it?
Visual rendering maestro Theophilus Chin has offered his take on what the electric Perodua could be, drawing inspiration and visual elements from Daihatsu concepts and models such as the Daihatsu me:MO concept, the Osanpo concept and the Mira Tocot.

The black cladding of the me:MO van and Osanpo roadster concepts, as used on the imagined ‘Kancil EV’ lends itself to a possible entry-level variant with unpainted bumpers, with the front fascia, bonnet and headlamps of the Kancil EV taken from the Osanpo, while the fenders and wheel arches are from the me:MO.
Neither concept has the glasshouse as seen in the eventual rendition, so that is from the Mira Tocot, coming together with the other styling elements for a rendering that is at once boxy and rounded.
It’s certainly a cute, or at least unique look that results here. Would you buy a fully electric Kancil that turns out looking something like this?

Perodua ‘MyEV’ rendered based on the 2023 EMO ConceptElectric vehicles have seen an exponential growth in the last two years, as latest sales data from the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) shows. However, EVs are still largely additional cars for the upper middle class and ‘T20s’, as the government has set a RM100k base price for CBU EVs to prevent dumping, and to clear the way for local EVs, so to speak.
2025 has long been mentioned as the target for Perodua and Proton to come up with their own EVs, and now we have details. Minister of international trade and industry Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz revealed on X that mass production of Perodua’s EV is scheduled to start in end-2025.
According to the MITI minister, in line with the appointment of Perodua as the lead in production of affordable EVs under the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030), the Malaysian market leader has developed an electric-powered prototype in cooperation with an ‘international automotive company’. This has to be technical partner and shareholder Daihatsu, which is owned by Toyota.

The gula, or sugar as mentioned in the customer’s Facebook post was in reference to a sugar-like foreign substance that was found in the engine of their vehicle, and that such substance resembling the foreign matter found is not used by Perodua, according to Perodua personnel as claimed by the vehicle owner.
