What are the options for an electric vehicle?

Have a car, truck, motorcycle, or bicycle you'd like to sell? List it here for free. Heck, you can even buy and sell tuktuks or your pink Scoopy here. Remember, you need a driver's license in Cambodia for cars, trucks, and any motorbike that's over 125cc. And always wear a helmet!

Hyundai Phnom Penh had few Kona hybrids in their showroom earlier this year. Didn't ask if they were for sale and for how much though.
These were the fully electric version, as denoted by the front grill.

Well, I did start building my own furniture and ended up fixing my own desktop after one computer place just shrugged their shoulders but I'm not really someone that builds e-projects. I also assume sourcing some of the components might be difficult.
The sourcing of parts is not that difficult but that also depends on what you want to build. There are people using/converting auto alternators into electric single person vehicles of variable wheel configurations. There are complete conversion kits for small autos too. Then there are the 2/3 wheel bike/moto style. I've got a couple of ebikes and have been very happy with them. Sold my scooter and use them as our only vehicles.

I'm guessing a real nightmare would be getting stuck on the highway, and the place you finally found with a charger has no EDC/power itself. Then you'd need a generator to charge the charger.

I would like to end up with a 3 wheel vehicle with a flat bed in the back.

Are these conversion kits available here in Cambodia?

I guess you would have to have balls or a nice solar power grabber / power storage to take it on the road .

If Honda made one i would take a test go to see if it was fit enuf to run around town . To the grocery store on rainy dayz.

For your information:
A Campaign to Promote the Use of Electric Vehicles Is Held this Month in Phnom Penh
Sao Phal Niseiy 07/02/2021 10:58 AM
This will include a series of events through Feb. 25
PHNOM PENH--The first Sustainable e-Mobility Campaign is taking place this month in Phnom Penh with “Free-to-drive electric vehicles” pop-up events held to promote​​ awareness of electric vehicles and reducing greenhouse gas emission.

Organized by the NGO EnergyLab Cambodia in cooperation with the Global Green Growth Institute and the National Council for Sustainable Development, the campaign will feature electric vehicles during a series of public events through Feb. 25.

Melissa Liu, EnergyLab country manager, said that the campaign is meant to offer people an incentive as well as an opportunity to try electric vehicles including electric motorbikes, bicycles, cars and scooters.

“Not everyone is familiar with electric vehicles, but once you drive an electric vehicle you realize that it’s actually really cool and fun,” Liu said. “Our pop-up events bring together many brands so more people can access and try them out for free.”

Following the launch of the campaign that took place at Factory Phnom Penh on Feb. 6, events will be held at the Ministry of Environment on Feb. 9, the Olympic Stadium on Feb. 20, the Institute of Technology of Cambodia on Feb. 23, the campaign ending on Feb. 25 with an event at the American University of Phnom Penh.

The events will also highlight the fact that the use of more eco-friendly vehicles also contributes to reducing global warming through decreasing greenhouse gas emission in transport.
