When Nokia slowly lost market share, everyone said the same thing about apple. That it was just a fad, until one day, they were left wondering what the hell happened and why didn't they respond quickly.
We are watching the exact same recurring event today. Probably more pronounced in Msia due to the protectionist policies to favour oil.
EV is already inevitable. ICE will be a relic of the past. It just makes no sense to keep an iCE car. Both financially, performance, environmentally, maintenance. Just like how it makes no sense to use a nokia 3310 today except for nostalgic purposes.
Yes EV is inevitable. But not so soon. Probably 20 years time till it becomes mainstream . The battery technology is still not there yet. Heck, even smartphones batteries are still using old tech. Just the size getting bigger.
EV cars have limited range. Petrol cars u just top up fuel less than 5 mins u can jalan. EV cars u out of batt, u need to charge few hours. Wait there like sohai.
EV cars are a huge fire risk. If any accident were to occur, the batteries could catch fire easily especially in hot Malaysian weather, besides the batteries would degrade faster as well
