No no, only the Lotus Eletre is a worthy significant upgrade

22kW AC charging, 800v architecture

Tesla still dont have those

The accelerator play and acceleration feeling, does it differ much from normal ICE cars? As in, does it give driving a bumper car type of feeling?

I've never tested an EV so far.
*
Other EV yes instant pickup, but for BYD they tune the accelerator to feel the same as a regular ICE car.. which means theres a slight delay initially when pressing the accelerator

Only when u press very deep then only the EV'ness feel kicks in,

For such a fire battery/ controller case, how do we claim ?

Insurance? or warranty claim to the manufacturing?

Do the manufacturing warranty include such a defect for EV car?

*
For this particular case, BYD Thailand is taking full responsibility

Wta does your otto 3 have something similar to tesla camp mode? Like if you sleep in your car and when it gets too hot the car will auto on air con to cool down the cabin?

If the answer is yes, do you know roughly 1 hour how much battery it will used up in our hot climate???
*
Dont have camp mode. Just leave the car turned on as normal

Never did test sleeping in the car

What are your thoughts on the cost of servicing your BYD car? Do you feel like it's reasonable for what they do during your "service" visits? I ask because I felt puzzled that an EV would cost this much to service every year. The only argument is that it's cheaper than ICE service. I mean sure, but why is BYD charging so much for an EV that supposedly has low maintenance?
*
Its not a high as how much hyundai charges (then again under same sime darby group)

The parts price is still somewhat ok just the labour cost abit on the high side

ts, yours is the extended range or the normal? How is the 0-100 feels?
*
Extended range. The car really can do around 7.3sec to 100 but BYD tunes it in a way that its a smooth acceleration instead of push to your seat feeling

Do you plan to do balik kg trips in ev? Or go holiday during peak season when everyone is on the road with ev? Is it visible?.With limited cheering bays and lots of ev want to use and long charging time.

What is the longest time you had to queue to use charger?
*
I dont have a kampung to balik to. But would keen to experience peak season jam maybe in the future. Should be much more comfortable to be in since the ev barely use any charge in slow traffic and it has stop n go adaptive cruise with hands off lane centering assist

Never had any experience needing to queue for a charger

Tumpat to Pengerang it is then. Better challenge then the easy plus highway.
*
Just check a better route planner app. For BYD, Tumpat to Pengerang needs to stop at Paka RnR, Kuantan town, Mount Austin johor and finally reach Pengerang

But checked for a Mercedes EQS450+ , can stop only once at kuantan town and proceed straight to Pengerang

That route is a charging desert actually. Theres one new fast charger coming at kuala rompin but definitely needs more to be build along the way

What is the average energy consumption at around 140kph where one would normally drive their ICE SUV on the highway? Best is average consumption after 30min of driving at that speed where the battery temperature, drive electronics and motor temp has normalised.
I need to compare between this and Corolla Cross/CRV which is in this price range, whether the Atto3 still can manage reasonable range when driven like an ICE at its price.

Saw the dolphin ER take up 39% battery just going up genting? That's a very very bad energy consumption IMHO..
*


Can refer here

Tldw version: not very efficient at that speed. If you want to drive at that speed, its either get normal petrol car or a Tesla.. almost no other EV beats Tesla interms of efficiency. Hyundai ioniq6 long range rwd comes second

Awana kijai has a free charger at the entrance foyer. But slow charger.

So it is doable?
*
Doable but the charger at awana kijal is only for staying in hotel guest.

At the moment there is no fast charger other than at the Paka RnR after kota bharu until you reach Kuantan town. So its a must stop there

*
No need. Theres already a sim activated inside but only 2GB per month

Maybe join the fb owners group

To add in to the discussion. I been provided with atto 3 er for about 6 mths by company. For the period mostly use fast dc charging with dc handal (bamboo hill/the sphere) , and shell recharge/gentari (on highway). For the 6 mths averaging about 15k km. My weekly charge is about rm160 per week or more if long trips. Mostly city driving, long trip to sites in kuantan (monthly), batu pahat (twice) and ipoh (3x).
Kuantan the car (95%) from home will arrice at hyatt (5-10%). To ipoh no problem usually arrive with 20-30% no hurry to charge can jalan2 dulu. Batu pahat have to charge at scary place (summut) usually top up shell recharge at highway.
*
I thought only Porsche owners fill up at Shell Recharge sweat.gif

That will be my last, very last place to topup

Why? Is it the most expensive?
*
Yes, at RM2.20/kWh, its equivalent to pumping petrol at over RM4.50 (or more)per liter , assuming an EV can only travel 5 km for each kWh of energy (and the equivalent petrol can travel 15 kilometers per liter) on the highway
