Laos is an ideal country to utilise electric vehicles (EVs), as it produces clean electricity from hydropower, a study team from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) said last Wednesday.
“As the ‘battery of ASEAN', we want Laos to utilise more EVs than vehicles that use gasoline to reduce emission of carbon dioxide and other pollutants, and lower fuel imports,” JICA study model project planner, Dr Itti Rittaporn Ph.D., said.
