The big surprise to me here is that they plan to manufacture their own vehicles. I'm surprised that a small, poor, landlocked country could pull something like that off, given that electric cars aren't exactly cheap or easy to manufacture. Importing Leafs (Leaves?) seems like the better solution here. It's definitely a commendable goal and I wish them luck, but if the world's biggest, most knowledgeable, multinational auto giants can't build a cheap, reliable, safe electric car, I fear for Bhutan's chances.
