Can refer to my thread here. Will continue updating there

Wow... congratulations! Em, seems a lot of BYD Fans ya!
Chery good?

Appreciate your recommendation. I'll go check 🤩

If you

1. Live landed
2. Don’t travel more than 100km daily
3. Don’t rely on your EV to balik RAYA/CNY

yes, EV suitable enough for you (if you have the moolah to spend).

We don’t have Cherry EV here yet, no?

Those Omada/Tiggo are pure ICE cars.

I currently drive Nissan Ariya 87kw. My car before this was Polestar 2. In terms of driving experience, Polestar wins hands down. It is after all from Volvo. The main thing I dislike about Polestar is that the chasis is from Volvo XC40, an ICE car. Hence, you get a transmission tunnel and ackwardly small driver's cabin.
With Ariya, I can get approx 380km to 400km on a full charge but this would depend driving style, traffic and weather. I have a home charger and charges overnight.
There are things that I have to keep in mind that wouldnt cross my mind if I have an ICE car, such as:
1. I always try to keep the car's state of charge when at home to at least 85% for emergency reasons that would require me to make long distance/ multi trips
2. Trips need to be planned be it long or short distance, to map out charging points..range anxiety is real folks!.
3. Public charging can take time,depending on capacity and also chargers themselves may not be available or operational.

EV price just like rich man toys...unless there is breakthru on charging...else my maximum tolerance is Hybrid...

Best Combo:

1. Fast Charger in Home
2. Solar Panel in Home
3. Got a Hybrid/ICE Car also ( spared )


This is Currently the BEST of ALL World.

Main Driver : Your EV ( charged by solar, free Milage )
Imagine the Petrol / TNB saved by Solar Monthly...


Total Saving - Solar Installment = Positive Cashflow goes into EV Installment.

your income level already limited your vision/knowledge
you are not very well informed.


unless you talking about RM15k used car VS new EV......
EV price = Rich Man toys??????????????????????????????????????????

Sorry my friend.... Your Defination of Rich man toys = ~200k??? ( even tesla below 200k)

comeon.... 8k/month can easily afford 200k car..

Heard there is already have 15mjns Fast Charge?

Heard, end of the year? Tigo Pro PHEV?

So, it's still a transition period? No one dare to traveling far or to kampung with EV?

Can try to bring cable charge at kampung.

Can try whether kampung house wiring can tahan or not
- If slow & low wattage i think boleh.


Half way must stop @ R&R. ICE car can straight refuel & go from perlis to johor.

Yea..i cant afford 200k car...
8k/month after EPF and tax and etc left 6.5k and 200k car pay is like 2.9k per month....
If you can afford single story house + solar panel..... i think with 8k per month you barely survive...

normal plug i think charge few day only can get the ev car full gua...

IMHO, current charging infrastructure does not allow for someone to have EV as the only/main car especially if your kampong is not in one of the big cities.
there are apps such as Zapmap or even the car native's gps/google map that can help find public charger. The main problem I found however is that either the charger is occupied or not working.

home chargers are slow, but its not ur emergency charger.

what i mean is u shouldnt wait till 0%. you can charge every night when you are home. like ur phone, left 20% u also wanna charge already.

Probably around 8 ~ 14 hours depending on charger & battery capacity.

Scenario 1:
I'm back home kampung ady! (Just plug in to charge your car)
Fren --> Jom pergi sebelah town makan then pergi another town meet girls minum teh.

Typical answer is.......................? (Kenot la, kena charge my car)

Mis-communicated fren --> No need charge at home la, just bring powerbank charge during makan & minum, ada girls eh.


Conclusion
It's not really a balik kampung car when u need to rush a few places in short time.

Guys, how about PHEV (instead) ? Does it solve the problem?

Reluctantly I’m also making preliminary plans to embrace the EV platform - as much as I make public my reservations about it, the inevitable adoption of EV technology will necessitate its adoption regardless of my personal views or opinions.

At this point, I’m waiting to see what the new Macan EV will be capable of, and maybe hop on the bandwagon with that as well as a refreshed Taycan or an EV Boxster.

It solve the problem but another problem arise.

Which problem u wan to solve?
