Saw a XC90 quoted RM35k for a whole battery pack replacement. But SC told me you wouldnt need to replace it when only a module are failure. Each are only RM6k and so far the owners are not needed to service it when it launched  few years ago until now.

that is battery pack pricing
Edit: what im trying to mentioned no need to replace the whole battery, modern battery can replace by module like other ktard mentioned.

Any worries going through banjir road? Let’s say the water depth is right at the battery pack. Will it void warranty?

as you can see in the video, there are a few numbers of normal cars stranded, while the tesla can go thru without any issue.


or this the volvo is submerged in 1.7m water, and can still drive out, and everything still working.

actually ev performs better in flood than ice. like in the 2nd video, the volvo is fully submerged, i doubt any ice car can submerged in water and still be driving

Thanks.
Looks like very limited points for free charging without stay in the hotel or parl in the hotel.

Renault Zoe by Comos can use 3 pin AC charging?

Can if they provide the 3 pin charger for you.

There is actually 3 locations that I know of that gives free DC fast charging, although there might be a queue to charge

They should put this as a selling point cause we no need buy banjir insurance already.
Next time stuck in underground banjir in KL, just relax in coffee bean, after air surut, drive out,

Also can use it to drive from Seberang Perai to Pulau Pinang without using the bridge to save tol.. You need gas tank though...
Everyday stuck in Penang bridge.. no problem... get an EV.

Only provide 3.7kW wall charger though.

3-pin to type-2 charger can be purchased outside?
Does it compatible?

A note from my wallbox installer, Alvin, regarding safe charging.


Before you decide to install your charger make sure you find out the cables sizes for your home:

1. Cable size from TNB to Fuse
2. Cable size from Fuse to Meter
3. Cable size from Meter to DB

These Cable sizes affects what is the size of Fuse you can/should be using

16mm2 = max 32A Fuse
25mm2 = max 63A Fuse
35mm2 = max 100A Fuse

Try not to let unlicensed electricians or unqualified technicians to blindly talk you into just changing into a bigger size Fuse just to prevent Fuse blowing ok?

The Fuse is SUPPOSED TO BLOW before the circuits exceeds their maximum carrying capacity. It's a protection mechanism. Using a bigger Fuse that is greater than your home circuit's maximum current carrying capacity defeats the purpose of the Fuse and increasing the risk of fire caused by melting/burning wires.

Pls ask if any clarifications are needed.
