awesome Sifu, thanks!

Fair enough comment.

Please don't get me wrong. I have every intention of (finally) going the EV way. As it stands, I already have my eye on the Taycan GTS (when it's released in its .2 version) and the Macan Turbo also looks yummy - I'll probably get the 2nd generations of both these cars, so I can enjoy the exponential improvement of battery technology and get more range/power with less weight and shorter charging time.

Taycan .1 model prices are plunging in Australia, because the .2 just blows the .1's battery tech out of the water. Clean out of the water.

But, I'll probably wire up the house with solar panels (Sydney gets heaps of sun) and load up on Tesla batteries, THEN, I'll get almost FOC charging for my cars when that day comes.

So, in my case, I'll build up the foundation first and set up the infrastructure, then consider what models to get.

In the meantime, wife has tentatively greenlit my Cayenne V8 purchase as the last of the great V8's, so happy days. I'll delay till the very last minute then pull the trigger before the Cayenne goes all electric.

just wiped my saliva off.

my priority now is get my foundation right (bottom of pyramid )

Enjoy your ride bro! Wish I have the same (good) problem

Evc now rm0.70/kwh
Free installation and wallbox

20-80% the best

Charge to 100% once awhile , and use it within 12 hrs. Don't leave 100% for too long.
If there's wallbox in ur condo/office , then go ahead ev

Anyone got comments or feedback on MG4 range of EV cars?

I'm also interested in the MG4 EV SR or ZS EV but they don't seem to be very popular in Malaysia.
The price increase for the LR version of the MG4 is very steep if not I will be considering that also.

i see thanks for the insight bro, will put this up to committee

coming from X50, X1, harrier

mg4 is a hothatch

now thats out the window, i find the car in between. meaning i loved it, but also hate what it offered

it handles superb, the power is instant. as youd expect from "conti"

- the ihu is a tad slow if you pit it against its direct rival, no need list down so many, BYD is enough lol
- theres no rear ac vents (not a deal breaker for some)
- they dont even give lighting. like at least in the middle between driver and rear.
- i find the seat a tad small (given my big build, not all seats are comfy)
- and followup from that, my knees or thigh hit on the "floating console" (yes considering this is for city drive...mostly) its still annoying no matter how i jacked the seat up or down lol
- as the ride isnt "tall" i feel sandwiched

just my 2 cents, as a driver (and my wife test drove it) and passenger i feel the ride is very stable and low no matter how you stepped on the pedal even going over bumps. looks amazing in orange. best variant should be the luxury (considering price) because if you do wana get the extended/xpower id rather get the Seal. so my 2cents doesnt apply to everyone, smaller frame guy may enjoy it, i know ive seen the MG4 owners group and non are big build like myself haha

Standard edition doesn't come with reverse camera at all. Dissatisfied and disappointed.

yes bro, so many things omitted. ive seen the fb group many install themselves as they went for the standard too

Indonesia , thailand and uk already have ev conversion industry started

albeit the cost still high

give it few years

maybe we can see old cayenne using battery 😀

damn.... no more leaking from the engine. clean ride.

If the EV conversion prices become more mainstream (and not stay stratospherically unobtainable as they usually are the moment), I would probably choose an old VDub Beetle and get them to work their magic over it. I think it would be fun to have the VDub out-pecut my 911 at the traffic lights hahaha.

They already selling the kit for the VW Beetle







If, 1st world country like UK can legalize it, why cant we follow em?

Yes, it's legal to convert a car into an EV in the UK, as long as you follow some steps to meet basic legal requirements. Re-registration of your vehicle – Once converted, your now-EV must be re-registered via the vehicle registration section on GOV.UK as a rebuilt vehicle or radically altered vehicle.
