If charging EV car in mall, u not afraid that those itchy hands pull away your charger? Then when u was about to collect your car, u see that ur car already stop charging

Yes can. But the LED DRL will be on so might blind others when doing so

I am confident it wont go that high lah. Even if it is, its still cheaper than my current peugeot maintenance of couple of thousands in repair every other month

Very responsive almost ipad like, for an android based head unit. Almost everything is controlled by the touchscreen unfortunately

Yeah need to step pedal or flick switch

KL to Johor very easy as most of the rnr heading there has charger already

Always curious about these new gen EV cars :
1. Is there difference in RCB/MCCB 40amps vs 63amps aside from charging speed? i assume its like mobilephone fast vs normal charging
2. So far how is resale value / depreciation like compare to non EV ? Retail vs sell price
3. if more people buy EV, meaning charging bays at malls /public places will be unavailable most of time?
4. I heard the fast charging areas in petrol stations are available, but the usage price is not cheap vs petrol ?
5. Also heard that EV battery should not charge above 80% to preserve the life and reduce degradation ?
6. The own charger/cables at public places 3pin plug, can be stolen easily i assume (example pic below from TS) ?
7. saw roadshow for ATTO3 in 1utama, what is difference between STANDARD (rm150K) vs EXTENDED (rm168K)?
8. any discounts or freebies given during purchase ?

i like TS thread instead of those EV pro sembang kencang.

It is maintenance free if brushless motor. Think of your ceiling or standing fan. Since when we ever need to do maintenance for those

Actually BYD drag race at traffic light is the worse, the throttle response is not instant, a myvi confirm will smoke it the first few meters upon green light coz u know how sensitive myvi throttle pedal is. But yes manage to do 0-100 in around 7seconds-ish

It is ER, I have not measured the consumption but I was told anything above 120km/h really drains the battery badly

KL - JHR no problem, to Penang theres no charger in between KL and Tapah, after that there is Simpang Pulai but its too expensive at rm4/minute, to east coast definitely lacking charger, but still possible to arrive in kuantan without charging lah or just 10 minutes stop at Gambang. But its not possible to use Gua Musang

Have to wait next year coz my mileage very low one

1. No, the charging cable is locked to the car when charging

2. 10 years

3. From other owners they say no issues, done quite fast since actually nothing to be serviced, just inspection

In KL very2 easy to find charge port. Just download the app called Plugshare to see where is the nearest charging location, but for me no use lah all those charge port since can just go back home to charge

If using 3 pin the cable will still lock to the car when charging, but theres a possibility someone turn off the switch lah

Already mentioned, rm1.2k for installation only

Kasi like for a quality thread. Look like EV is setup to be a viable second car for day to day drive within the city, provided the house can install the charging port. Would love to see the feedback after 2-3 years I think that's the time we really know if EV can really be the future in Malaysia.

Will pause answering, got meeting. Later continue. Just continue posting your questions

Chicken and egg situation. TS pun mentioned currently EV charging bays aren't that packed because EVs are still rare.

Infrastructure providers may wait for more demand before investing, would-be users pulak wait for more charging infrastructure before buying EVs.

So it's only a viable option for those with spare cars for outstation trips.

how's the L2 auto driving compared to x50? can it keep centered in lane, turn corners well

Bro, why you no buy Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Kia EV6?

I am planning to buy those EV cars with at least 800V charging architecture. BYD, Tesla, BMW, Merc & etc all are using typical 400V.
800V means FASTER DC charging time compare to 400V.

Example, Hyundai Ioniq 5 can do ~18mins from 20-80% compare to others.
Others might take ~30mins or so.

18mins for me is quite fast for DC fast charging an EV car.

But i scare the roadtax EV after 2025. Will wait and see how gov going to revise the price. If EV cars will use EMISSION TAX and will be much cheaper than my current honda city hybrid 1.5 RM90 per year, shadap and take my money already.

But nice sharing by the way & enjoy your EV experience.

Hybrid > all
Honda > all

Based on the kW (horsepower) of the car. Which is a dumb idea thats why they are restructuring

Tyre and wind noise usually comes in above 120km/h, but i find this car aircon heat pump /compressor noise quite loud so not much difference than engine noise

Yes, before ev charging my bill already rm500±

Nope, for BYD they are using regular tyres, not an EV specific tyres, and as of now the size 215/55/18 still no EV tyres produced for it

Need to change brake fluid. This car regen braking is quite minimal, not very strong at all compared to other EV

Nice me also EV driver. Volvo V40 recharge.

even faster charger is coming up. so nio idea of removable battery is going to die out soon. kesian nio.

hyundai using 350kwh charger, huawei already implement 600kwh, can charge 100kw battery in 10 min. typical ev battery in 60 kw range, maybe 6 min full charge.

So far nope, but i have a habit to plug in at home back to full when the car reaches 50-60%

I like the interior, very insta story friendly haha

Yes, I was given a free 22kW wallbox, despite the car and my house only support single phase. Which means in the future if I want to upgrade to 3 phase car/house wiring, can use back same wallbox

If have to buy the charger cost around rm4-6k

Yup, but for now Im not willing to change my driving style and trouble myself along the highway, coz the other car im already used to driving 160km/h average all the way yet still able to get around 700km+ for a full tank. Definitely not possible on current EV's

Unique color, other color very common on other cars on the road

i thought it's locked when it's charging so nobody can even pull it out
else anybody can steal the cable and resell it


if your sole purpose of buying a car is resale value

thn u have to stick with toyota petrol car ONLY FOREVER
because not even toyota EV or hybrid car depreciate well....it depreciate same as any other brand or models

Extended

Whenever im stuck in the jam i use it,

It smoothly accelerate lah but not mindblowingly fast, a crazy myvi driver that challenge u to a race and full throttle once light turns green will definitely beat u for the first few meters

Booked mine in feb, got a call before raya car was ready but i delayed delivery until last month since need to sort out some other stuffs first

I just asked the reception there can use or not, they say can then just plug in lor

Doubt will have good resale value, but im used to that so not an issue for me

Maybe can try experiment later

No, ada H ada awek still applies

Yup, no issues at all. However the car is using heat pump as the aircon system, it take around 2-3 minutes before it starts pumping cold air, so I usually remote start the car using the phone app before entering the car

Can but totally not recommended, cause u dont know the wire quality of the 3 pin plug. If not good then will blow the house socket

Velocity one u have to pay premium parking rate to access the charger

Wangsa walk i dunno, but there only 2 spot so most of the time already got car charging there..

Sharing this post from my wallbox installer on how wallbox charging may trip your house fuse especially if your house wiring is very old

Nope, im not gonna change my driving style to suit the car, the car should suit my driving style

For BYD dont have ev specific tyre, it uses the same size and load rating as Proton X50 and Mazda CX30 tyres

Yes, if your house minimal electricity load

No idea, its like how much to change entire engine for normal car

1) Yes

2) Yes

3) its the same as other 170k normal petrol car, no extra loading charges whatsoever

4) yes for BYD, they designed it so that it feels like a regular ICE car.
