Unlike other EV, this BYD is setup to mimic a regular ICE car. So no fast acceleration feeling unless u enter sport mode..

Handling wise, its so so so damn comfortable when driving normally, lalu pothole also no feel, my passengers everytime naik kereta will fall asleep... but its a typical china car setup, cannot take corner one body roll quite heavy and lifeless overassisted steering feel. It feels stable though coz the battery pack is on the floor.. It feels similar as my family bmw g28 330Li, a China market car. Heck, i tested on Suke highway, the bmw rolls even more than the BYD

No given service schedule, based on current owner feedback, first service at 5k km is free, then next service is every 20k km or 1 year, need to pay but dunno how much

Awesome info! Thanks.
Can't wait for more review when you do the 20k service.

Hai guys, lama tak buka tered pasal kereta. As some u know, I sold my old Suprima earlier. And had it replaced with an EV.

Why EV/BYD Atto 3?

- Want something with similar characteristic as Suprima, big boot space, huge rear legroom, must have many features such as pano roof, AEB, lane keep, adaptive cruise etc etc

- Need to be powerful (over 160hp) yet with minimal maintenance

- I dont have any kampung to balik to, so no range anxiety, even if need to go for that maybe twice a year out of KL trips, can take other car

- To carry stuffs when needed, other cars at home boot too small to fit large item

- Looked at competitors:

Honda HRV : 140k car with Honda City Interior, seats too firm, boot too small and CVT puik. Honda CRV: Too old

Mazda CX-30 : Cramped interior, Boot too small

Peugeot 3008/VW Tiguan : Not much features to play with, no adaptive cruise control, AEB etc etc

Ora Good Cat: Boot too small, slow charging.

CHARGING, How much does it cost?

- Over a month, I only driven 1535km

And here is my home energy usage

Roughly RM 120++ for 1500km distance, this I set my wallbox charging app to count using TNB highest block electricity tariff. I also charge outside when I go mall to makan, charging outside is free, only pay for parking.

My fav is Sunway Velocity and Wangsa Walk

Sounds cheap right? Actually is not, because to upgrade my house electricity (RCB/MCCB from 40amps to 63amps) since my house was from the 80's cost RM3.5k, the wallbox itself is free from BYD, but installation cost is Rm1.2k.

Where is the furthest you've ever driven it?

- Not far, furthest is from home to KLIA then straight to Seremban. then pusing2 seremban town. around  140-150km.. Battery left 70%

- Stayed at Royale Chulan Seremban, they allow 3 pin charging there. So plug in at night, next day checkout battery already fully charged, again... Free of Charge

So yeah, this is my experience with EV now. Feel free to ask anything in regards to EV or even the car itself. Ill answer it truthfully, unbiased based on my personal POV.

nice read. thanks for sharing . I have a couple of questions TS

1. when left charging, is it possible for theft ? how is the security of the car

2. you will consider using this car until when?

3. how is the service centre/ maintenance experience?

So far is it difficult for you to find charging port in the city? Or usually able to drive whole day till night time only charge?
And also the risk of people tampering the charging using 3 pin like you show above, feel not so safe.
That's my concern of EV currently cuz the facilities still very new and scarce

Good info. Fact is in Malaysia no one can share a more study cause in general EV only in Msia for couple of years. Need to wait 10-20 years before anyone can share the full journey inc battery lifespan and efficiency in charging and performance.

Ora Good Cat is RM287. Though 143ps compared to Atto 3's 204PS. They really need to re-scale the calculation so that Good Cat is the "Affordable" benchmark.

Since now you don't hear engine noise, do you find the tyre road roaring and wind noise crazily loud?

nice 1 TS, i was fiddling with my sister's car yesterday, and all i can say is eco mode not human use 1 ... voice command is pretty good, ride is pretty good, and yes it does feel floaty but center of gravity is there due to the battery placement.

overall this car boleh pakai

What’s the total electricity bill looks like in your home? Are you hitting the maximum tier even without the EV charging?

byd used alot as cab in china. some hitting 700k km in 4-5 years and battery degradation is around 20-30% for them after 700k km.

the reverse charging/power is byd patent and most china cars bought the pattern but not tesla. therefore tesla cannot reverse charging/power.

but good thing is u can slp inside ev pasang aircon dont need to worry about CO poisoning
