As exhibited in Malaysia Autoshow 2024, Perodua had worked on a project to make a prototype of electric car from an internal combustion engine car, Myvi. They are partnering with three local universities - Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN), and Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL).

The project started in August 2022 and finished in February 2024. UPM received an amount of RM404,683 for the project, UNITEN received RM298,684, and UniKL received RM241,340. Perodua's team was led by a chief engineer, Hasrol Hashim and 16 other engineers were in charge of coordinating the development, making the test bench, e-motor, high-voltage battery pack, Battery Management System (BMS), charger, power distribution unit, protection circuits, instrumentation panel (IP) display, cooling system, body, and vehicle wireharness.

UPM has a research team led by Professor Dr. Ishak Aris with 5 researchers (Dr. Saber Mohammed Elnour Fadul, Dr. Siti Munirah Mohamad Yusof, Associate Prof. Dr. Ratna Kalos Zakiah Sahbudin, Siti Sarah Emran, and Ahmad Fairuz Muhammad Amin) which develop battery packs, BMS, charger, power distribution unit (PDU), protection circuits, vehicle wireharness and IP display. The battery packs work includes designing and developing the modules, battery casing, and assembly to give the right power and energy for the electric motor. The BMS developed monitors and manages things like temperature, charge level, and cell balancing to keep the battery pack working well and safely. The charger they make lets the car's battery pack charge from external power sources. The team also developed a crucial part of an EV which is the IP display which displays all the voltage of each battery cells, the charging status and faults from other subsystems. There are 17 Perodua engineers attached with the group to develop the EV together.

UNITEN has a team led by Associate Professor Muhammad bin Mansor with 4 engineers. They are working on setting up the test bench, e-motor, and drive shaft. At UniKL, the team is led by Ir. Dr. Rifqi Irzuan Abdul Jalal with 11 engineers. They are developing a cooling system for the other subsystems in the car, modifying the body, and simulating the cooling system.
