Full charge vs 10mins charge is a huge difference.
How long it took for a EV car to be fully charged?
How much time the user willing to spend at the charging station?
And how safe is the EV car during accidents impact?
A battery leak can lead to explosions.

The usage pattern of an EV is very different from an ICE.

The EV is typically fully charged overnight when it is parked at home (easier in landed property, tricky in condos) and for normal, urban use, does not need to be topped up during the day.

You never have to visit a petrol station!

For long-distance driving, there has to be some planning and battery management.

The EV should be topped up just enough to get it to the next charging station, not driven until empty (this is the biggest difference in driving behaviour between ICE and EV)

The fast 22kW chargers at the 66 locations along the highway is able to add around 120km of distance per hour of charging, so if the next charging station is around 60km away (not unrealistic given that there are 66) then you spend 30mins at the charger, just nice to stretch your legs, toilet break, maybe even a cup of coffee.

Re: Safety, you can google and see what the risks are. They're pretty safe, otherwise authorities would not let them be sold, amirite?

Petrol cars can also explode and burn down as we have seen numerous times. Depends on the counterfactual.

At highway, from JB to Ipoh around 500 km, petrol car maybe need 5 hours if drive at 100km/h.
with EV meaning that you will need 5 + 5 hours = double the time to get from JB to Ipoh. Not a realistic replacement for petrol car. And how much electrical bill you can bare monthly consider the tariff will be exponential increase with each after certain KW usage. don't be fool by basic tariff for electricity

Hydrogen is NOT fuel .Nitro Is fuel
hydrogen mix with Petrol allow engine to use less fuel for better emission

Hydrogen IS fuel, depend on where it applications.
It Is rocket fuel for start.

Sorry to tell you that EV is not for you. Until Tesla and highway R&R are full of charging point.

And its done and dusted with proper infrastructure. Electric car attempts London-to-Edinburgh in a day

By the way this is a 650km trip.

Technology will advance no doubt in future EV car can go long range for single charge, but not 2020. Some more in Malaysia it simply a wet dream to have 100k EV by 2020.
Unless all taxies can only use EV by law then it possible.

You have to burning more Natural Gas on a normal ICE car compare to a NG → Electric → EV.

Because an ICE need to convert 84% of the fuel into heat before it can transfer the other 16% of the energy into pushing the car. Where as EV lost around 32% of its energy into heat and 68% of energy into pushing the car.

NG covert to Electric at power plant also not much efficient than a car engine. Consider the lost of energy during transfer
