thanks for the first post. but that's normalized for india prices.

here's when it's normalized to malaysian prices:

adjusted for RM1.90 per kg LPG from KPDNKK controlled pricing.
adjusted for RM0.33 per unit electricity averaged from normal RM150-ish bill.

assuming that this :

is correct.
the original reference at http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appl...fs/cookgtsd.pdf could no longer be found.

so no.
LPG cooking is still cheaper in malaysia. even when the efficiency is at 40%. if you take into account the adoption cost of a good induction cooker, the higher risk of failure of the component; it's a no brainer really.

yes. for users up to 400 units/400 kwh per month. bill should be RM128.6, which translates to RM0.32 per unit (RM128.6/400).



but people with RM130 bill usually aren't the ones that will go with these high tech cooking thingy.
let's adjust to people with bill at RM230 as those people are more likely to get one.

RM231.8 / 500 units = average at RM0.4636 per unit.
so it will get to this:


but hey, if you bought one of this induction thingy and it bumped your bill up to the >600 unit, you average will be even higher. the cost will go even higher.

the tariff did not come down. how come you see it as go up and come down?
the table is pretty much straight forward.

the last calculation i did, with the tariff at RM0.33 per unit is from memory. i remember reading the averaged electricity cost for malaysia is RM0.33 per unit. turns out its RM0.32 per unit, for people with bill costing under RM128.

nobody less probability people with electricity bill less than RM130 would even consider going induction. they simply can't afford the cooker. it's a few thousand, which is better spent buying food.

can't use this one bro. as the tariff is increasing.

people with bill at RM43.6 is paying RM0.218 per unit.
but people with bill at RM77 is paying at RM0.257 per unit. because the next 100 unit after 200 is at RM0.334
and people with RM128.6 is paying at RM0.3215 per unit for their 400 unit of usage.

did you get it?
it's averaged for all the units.

you can't say your AC costs cheaper to run at the start of the month because your bill is by then <200 unit and costs higher at the end of the month because by then you bill is already over 600 unit.

you still don't know how to calculate your electricity bill ah? aiseh.

say u used 500 units.
first 200 unit = 0.218 per unit = RM21.8
next 100 unit after 200 = 0.334/unit = RM33.4
next 200 hundred after that 200 = 0.516/unit = RM103.3

so total = 21.8 + 33.4 + 103.3 = RM158.5
so your average per unit is at RM0.317

feel free to correct.

sorry i missed that. yes the first 200 unit will cost RM43.6

guys, this is not arguing. this is factual discussion on the cost.
before this people (even i) have no actual calculation on how much different induction VS gas. until the other guy posted the DOE link on energy comparison.

even tho it's normalized to india, the numbers inside it is based on fact. normalizing it to malaysian prices is easy once you know the number.

wife have been asking numerous time to go induction.
now i have scientific proof to turn her down. thanks to you guys.
