Singapore in talks with more electric car companies after Dyson: EDB

[LOS ANGELES] Following Dyson's plans late last year to manufacture its first electric car in Singapore, the city-state is now in talks with other makers of green vehicles to set up shop on the island.

"Hopefully they won't be the only one we land," Chng Kai Fong, managing director of the Singapore Economic Development Board, said in an interview, referring to Dyson's plans."We're in active negotiations or discussions with a couple of others. The whole idea is to build clusters." Earlier this year, billionaire inventor James Dyson raised the stakes by announcing plans to relocate his company's head office to Singapore from the UK with the growing importance of Asia to its business.

Elon Musk tweeted in January that Singapore has been unwelcoming to Tesla Inc, adding to his previous assertions that the government doesn't support electric vehicles. The billionaire chief executive officer was responding to a tweet inquiring why Tesla wasn't in the South-east Asian nation. Musk had said in May that Tesla tried to bring its cars to Singapore but was unsuccessful because the government was"not supportive" of electric vehicles.
