Resale value is for exit strategy planning, say 5 years to change to new model.

Unless you plan to maintain until scrap value or
have no clue about total cost of car ownership.

NEM only give 10 years buy back. So after 10 years, you give free PV electricity to TNB during day and buy your electricity at night from TNB.

Here is how the old EV comes into play.

If the EV when new, battery capacity is 60kWh.

The EV after 10 years say degrade 30% capacity, owner decides to buy a new EV battery to replace. But 10 years into the future already, better 3rd party battery availability, improved battery tech and larger capacity. (Imagine Nokia 3310 with new big capacity battery which can be standby for 30 days) So the battery has more energy but still can fit into the same space, +30% of original 60kWh = 78kWh, range also increased from 400km to 520km. Maybe the battery is even lighter in weight as added bonus.

The old battery bring back home become powerwall. 30% degrade still gives 42kWh capacity, enough to run 2 units of 2.5hp A/C for 8 hours or 4 units of 1.5hp A/C for 8 hours.

So after 10 years, the old EV have +30% more range when compared to when new, and one free powerwall for PV to charge during day and use during night.

It was demonstrated with old BMW battery convert to mobile powerbank DCFC charging by Gentari, if not mistaken. So why can't use at home as powerbank for PV?

Easier comparison is like this:

If battery replacement cost ≠ petrol tank replacement cost, then RV for EV or hybrid will always be lower than ICE.

Govt can artificially inflate the cost of running ICE cars through taxes etc. but it won’t be sustainable until maintenance/replacement of EV and hybrid = ICE.

Will Malaysia hot climate shorten the lifespan of EV batteries faster than operation in milder climate countries?

Yeah. Even after actor things you replace like battery and such, it's confirmed reliable.

I see lexus ct200h also like prius.

Full tank 700km-ish

2011-2013 around 40-50k. Battery i saw at group they say RM3k++ with 13months warranty

Worth to buy for city drive?

There won't be much reasale value for EVs. New technology for EVs are coming faster than smartphones. Its like buying the latest phone now and you have the next iteration on the pipeline already.

Gas regulator swap together? Usually the leak is from the regulator.

Don’t have to swap that out as regularly though. If need be, then it’s much cheaper than swapping out any components related to the battery.

Yes and no.

Battery don’t like high heats.

But at the same time it don’t like sub 0 temperature too. We’re already at the better end without needing to deal with winters.

Bear in mind...
1 resale value of ICE cars will also plummet once the conversion to EV accelerates. Much like demise of manual cars vs automatic cars.
2. EV upgrades at later stages should be easier eg changing battery packs, chipsets, control boards. Much like upgrading memory and motherboards of computers
