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


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

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
