  "account": "Mazda, a Japanese car manufacturer, has inaugurated a dedicated electric vehicle showroom in Singapore on October 16. This facility, located at 1 Kung Chong Road, marks the first of its kind for a Japanese brand in the Republic. Managing director Jason Lim emphasized the company's commitment to electrification, stating that the Mazda EV Studio aims to demonstrate the brand's seriousness about the shift towards electric vehicles. The showroom, which spans 322 square meters, can accommodate five cars and currently features the Mazda 6e sedan and the CX-6e sport utility vehicle. Both models are currently on sale in Singapore, with the CX-6e expected to begin official sales in the coming months. As Mazda and other Japanese brands face challenges in open markets and regions offering EV rebates, the new showroom serves as a platform for customers to learn about the company's EV models and technological advancements. Mazda has been expanding its presence in Singapore, launching the MX-30 EV in 2023, and has registered 54 Mazda vehicles in the city-state to date. The brand plans to introduce fully-developed EVs in 2029 and is streamlining its operations in the country, closing its previous showroom and service centre in September.",
