You mean V2L? V2L already in kia ev6 and ioniq 5.

yes, but not for tesla. i dont know why tesla not willing to pay that patent up. quite a good feature.

maybe they wanna develop their own, but 2023 liao their cars still do not support V2L.

byd patented it in 2012 and 2017 open up the patent to the rest of the rivals, provided they pay up la.

byd now going for car to car charging. means if ur car no battery half way, another ev can come and charge your ev up.

recently i saw a lot of VVIP plates(single number plate) change their car from ICE to EV
but not to china brand but to BMW or merc


QUOTE(knwong @ Jun 19 2023, 08:30 AM)
Yes, not the motor/engine but the brake, a/c, wiper, etc...more like inspection
*
yes, same service schedule as ICE but inspection only

but there is 1 thing i notice nobody around us talked about
but i saw people in HK talked about it already which i don't know is part of the service schedule or not
which is to remove carbon buildup from the electric motor

because from their BMW iX xDrive40 review video, they need to remove the carbon buildup at the motor within a period of time as maintenance

always can but it depends how much u travel to be feasible or not
if u travel longer distance, you'll always see your range keep getting lesser and lesser each day
because your charging speed cannot keep up with your distance traveled
this indicate u need a faster charging box at your home

i'm not into EV until that in depth yet so i'm asking
because i notice nobody talked about it and everybody thought all EVs are really maintenance free...just inspection only padahal there are things owners need to be watchful about

but at the same time...they say that BMW design made the accelerator pedal feels more natural instead of the usual weird EV pedal feeling

like i said it really depends on your usage
of course, if possible always get the highest one instead of the lowest one

if u ask me, a normal car driver, u definitely cannot rely on wall plug...u need to invest in a faster charging station at home
unless your usage is really really low

Yeah.. hopefully before end of 2024 Kia Niro EV or Hyundai Kona Electric next gen launched here. Or the slim chance the Volvo EX30 or Peugeot e3008 is sub 200k for me.

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.

user posted image
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

user posted image

- 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.

1) do outside mechanics know how to do tyre alignment or install Ah Beng accessories?

2) does it have regular "fuse board" where we can tap 12V power for say, dash cams?

3) insurance premium - for your brand new car, what is the comparable new ICE vehicle in terms of premium paid? Is there any loading for EV since batteries are vulnerable in a serious accident as you mentioned?

4) does the car drive like a regular ICE car? Would you be comfortable lending it to someone who has never driven an EV, or handing over to the tyre shop mechanic for alignment test drive?
