No, theres no smell at all. Maybe different car nearby or other smell kot

My wallbox installer himself lives in a condo which prohibits installation of a wallbox, he drives 2-300km everyday so he charge at public charger, inconvenient but still possible

Just plug in to charger, car can still run with aircond on, so can do work or watch movies while the car is charging

1.8-2kW an hour. A regular EV capacity is around 60kWh. So can roughly calculate


But totally not recommended to use 3 pin, so many burnt socket already

Maybe old building with old wiring that can be a hazard, so not taking the risk

If im not mistaken in Malaysia u have to feed the solar energy back to TNB for contra. Cannot directly use solar power to charge the car. Correct me if im wrong

Most general cars on the road except for supercars like ferrari lambo ive driven before

Since you dont state any budget, then.. Mercedes EQS. The longest range EV sold in the world

No but ive driven both

Can be periodically check the charging socket and head, if smells funny or very hot to touch immediately unplug

Nope 3 pin cannot reach 3kW.. max ive seen is 2kW only







Btw found the servicing cost for Malaysian user who just reach 20k km

Yes it does cut off when its full

Charging in mall is slow charger, most likely wont be able to fully charge the car even after spending 2 hours+ jalan2 in the mall

Yes, but only for fast DC charger. This is the charging curve for BYD Atto3, different EV have different charging curve



It maxes out at 89kW until battery hits 45%, then drops the charging speed to 60kW until battery hits 85%, then drops to 30kW until battery hits 95%, then drop to 15kW until full 100%

For AC charger it will maintain 6.3-6.6kW from start till finish

I see, but those kind of system i bet can be quite expensive compared to NEM3.0

Certain charge points have idle fees once completed charging

ChargeSini chargers in certain malls charges you rm1 for every 5 minutes if you do not unplug and move your car after it has been fully charged.

Other malls like klcc , gpo already ask u to park at premium parking to access the chargers

8 years, but very unlikely to go wrong. Even if it did, by that time sure many specialist outside able to swap and recon the battery packs just like how ppl can refurbish engine/gearbox

The roadtax thing is still under review by ministry of transport, the rm903 roadtax is if based on previous calculation. And Anthony Loke said he will release new calculation method by the end of the year

Im going Solar if they remove the subsidy

No idea, probably half the price of the car, but that one is for a full battery swap, it can be changed by module/pack..

Heres the latest news on it

I actually got a ChargEV subscription. It cost RM240 annually and you can charge as much as you want on their slow chargers. Most malls are using the chargers from ChargEV companies.

But there are also malls that use chargers from different company such as parkeasy and chargesini, their slow chargers are not free so i avoid those unless really cannot find parking so just pay and plug in.

Then theres also malls which do not have any apps on them, simply park and cucuk cable to get free charging, as the one in GPO, KLCC, Wangsa Walk and Sunway Velocity

Fair point, also wait until sub rm100k ev's start selling, than more worth it for city drive

Yup, i charge at malls just because its free and close to the entrance, if it's not free then its not worth it, just charge at home only..

For normal city drive and u have home charging, can totally not rely on the public charger..
