As electric cars are expanding into the market, Chau thought to design a sporty little EV that will fit modern day Asian teens - it has to be swift, compact and good looking. "The Racing Electric Vehicle or R-EV is a compact sports vehicle targeting towards urban Asian teenage markets." said Chau. "It is designed to provide them with excitement, independence in a densely populated urban environment and self-expression through personalize potential of this road and club racing vehicle. R-EV is capable of a leisure drive in the city, excitement during the race, and provides a personal space for social activity." Take a look at the gallery to see what Chau’s idea of a race electric vehicle is.

However, make no mistake; we will see battery-powered cars increasing in numbers (in terms of both models and their overall market share) over the years. Naturally, automotive designers don't have to wait for these problems to be solved when it comes to imagining electric car concepts like the Honda R-EV (short for "Racing-Electric Vehicle"), created by Jex Chau (Wing Huen Chau) from Hong Kong. As the 24-year old industrial design graduate of RMIT University explains, "The Racing Electric Vehicle or R-EV is a compact sports vehicle targeting towards urban Asian teenage markets." Chau added: "It is designed to provide them with excitement, independence in a densely populated urban environment and self-expression through personalize potential of this road and club racing vehicle. R-EV is capable of a leisure drive in the city, excitement during the race, and provides a personal space for social activity." As you can see in the image gallery that follows below, Chau designed the R-EV to easily transform its appearance from a regular road model to a more aggressive looking sports car.
