[image http://evworld.com/press/fomm_thaiEV780x520.jpg Prototype Fomm EV being test driven in Thailand where it will be assembled ] Four-passenger electric mini-car developed by engineers who worked on EV projects for Toyota. Engineered in Japan, built in Thailand will be the key hallmark of the Fomm four-passenger electric car that can float. Yes, you read that right. This compact electric car with a range said to be up to 160 km (100 mi) on a charge at speeds up to 80km/h (50 mph), can actually float on water. In fact, there's a Youtube video that proves the point. In a world of rising ocean levels and coastal flooding, this could be a very useful capability; and who said water and electricity don't mix? While Fomm [ http://fomm.co.jp/wordpress/index_en.html ] is based in Japan, where the car was engineered and first debuted in 2014, plans are for it to be assembled in Chon Buri province, Thailand starting in mid-2018. In Japan the car will be sold through big-box electronics retailer Yamada Dinki. The Thai Bhat price of the car is reported to be Bt500,000 or around $15,000US, admittedly still quite expensive for the average Thai, but the government is proposing a Bt100,000 [US$3k] rebate to help [Thai] buyers.
