The big challenge for Okinawa is that EV supply is very slow.  Thus Okinawa hopes this will not only resolve the demand for electric vehicles by ramping up the production, but also concentrate on the innovation needed to revolutionize the entire sector, such as improving the R&D facility, warehouse, and Supplier Park. 

According to the current JV with Tacita which consists of two product lines scooters and motorcycles – both meant for domestic as well as international markets, the manufacturing of the entire range will be rolled out from this plant.
