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).

Heard there is already have 15mjns Fast Charge?

We don’t have Cherry EV here yet, no?

Those Omada/Tiggo are pure ICE cars.

Heard, end of the year? Tigo Pro PHEV?

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.

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  icon_idea.gif  icon_idea.gif  icon_idea.gif
- If slow & low wattage i think boleh.
Half way must stop @ R&R. ICE car can straight refuel & go from perlis to johor.

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.
*
QUOTE(Aftermaths @ Oct 10 2023, 12:55 AM)
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?

So far, accurate? Keep adding more charging station?

Balik kg just slow charge from my parents 3 pin plug.

😅🤣

Distance is just 220km away from my home definitely can make it lar.

What does it mean by 3 Pin Plug charging? We still have to get a "charger" for that? 😅 sorry for my "fool" ,real new with no idea at all 🙏🏼

QUOTE(sihamsedap @ Oct 10 2023, 10:04 AM)
come jan next year, my household fully convert to ev only

drive tesla for almost 1.5 years with little to no range anxiety.. next jan will get taycan... landed charging with PV.. other states outside KV is getting a lot better, at least better than 2022.. ipoh town alone got at least 2 high powered dc charging hubs... more when tesla suc masuk... so nice and easy for 2023 and years to come... thats not counting lower dc/ac charging points which is a lot more

trip to penang or jb single charge no problem if ur capacity >70kw.. i do oustation trips once a month for jalan2 cari makan trip, never had range anxiety

every state got charging points, some more than others, why worried?

unless u stay kelantan, even there got a few chargers, but not a lot

worse case scenario, use granny charger to top up at kampung

those naysayers that still worried, u do ur thing, ur worry and scientism is also making my outstation trips easier
*
Wow... This is an encouraging testimony, man! As mentioned earlier, does PHEV giving faster charge? I heard that it will only need 15mins for "full tank"! True?

QUOTE(msacras @ Oct 10 2023, 11:40 AM)
For off peak season, you’re generally safe so long as you plan your stops well at RnR.

But for big festives like CNY/RAYA, I wouldn’t dare to even imagine all those frustrations associated to it.
*
Yup. City & highway no issue. Just afraid in small town. Real worse?

3 pin means can charge ur ev car just from ur normal wall socket. Charging speed is limited though. 1.9kw per hour. If you have 60kwh car battery capacity. That means 1.5-2 days of slow charging.

If u have smaller batery capacity like the byd dolphin standard range 45kwh. It will take 1 full day of slow charging from 0 to go to full.

The 3 pin slow charger is provided from byd free to all the car purchaser not sure of other brand though. Should be standard equipment given inclusive with the car.
*
I see! Jia Lat 😅 so, while traveling to those kampung with less charging bay, there's no "Power Bank" type of potable charger in the market?

QUOTE(msacras @ Oct 10 2023, 07:58 PM)
3pin = 2kW AC charging, AKA slow charging.

To fill up ATTO3 from 0%, you need to charge 25hours on that.

The convenience is that you can plug it into any wall-plug at landed properties.

PHEV doesn’t have anything to do with fast charge. It’s a hybrid ICE/EV car with ability to both pump petrol and charge by electricity.

Highway/small town is not the issue here, but the issue is limited charging bays and long charging hours. It gonna felt like early in the morning your family of 5 all are having diarrhoea but need to queue up on only 1 toilet, it’s a nightmare in making. During normal days 1 toilet may be enough, but when it’s special day that everyone needed to use toilet at same time, it gonna explode.
*
PHEV, as my understanding, it seems NOT using petrol but applying the technology of "charge-while-moving", am I wrong? And as my friend said, PHEV which he understands from Chery is Fast Charge - 15 minutes of Full Charge! Am I wrong again ? 😅

QUOTE(Boy96 @ Oct 10 2023, 08:09 PM)
Very accurate and we have alot of volunteers updating it everyday

Depends on which brand, Tesla can still be quite efficient and those speed but BYD's gets very bad efficiency
*
So, it's just like WAZE? could be updated by users!

QUOTE(Black Sofa @ Oct 10 2023, 08:15 PM)
is charging using 3 pin plug advisable? i have read many posts on overheating issues and even melting the wall socket with this method. planning to install a 3 pin plug socket on my personal parking lot of my apartment. pull the wire from the nearby junction box. need to convince my JMB first.
*
But, it still slow charge as mentioned above, right?
In fact, condo management allowed? Who's going to pay the bill?

only if new cars which gives 7.4kw.. u still need 3-4 hours for full charge.. older are mostly still 3.7 which is double the charge time
*
Does it mean New Car equiped with "Faster Charge"? Even 3-pin wall plug could provided a little fast charge?

QUOTE(max_cavalera @ Oct 10 2023, 09:54 PM)
Not an expert but this vid will help explain why the plug burnt:

Thanks, will definitely check it out!
It just like a high power appliances work too long and cause the "Live Pin" overheating?

QUOTE(Boy96 @ Oct 10 2023, 11:27 PM)
Not advisable. If you are already pulling new wire, just straight install a wallbox
*
In fact, condo allowed to install wallbox?

Yes, the government recently allowed existing highrise building to install wallbox without any limitations. Now its just you need to discuss with your condo management on how to pull wire to your parking lot.
*
Old Condo susah I think! Still, how to calculate the monthly fee? A meter for it? Then cost must be high. And it's not common yet, so most probably management will delay... I think

QUOTE(shyan90's @ Oct 11 2023, 10:15 AM)
the installation fees is provided by owner?
*
I think yes! As BYD owner mentioned, they Free Gift Wall Box, but installation fees not included (correct me if I'm wrong)

QUOTE(hihihehe @ Oct 11 2023, 10:27 AM)
but not for DBKL i think

Condo, then private premise, decided by Condo, right?

Hybrid Car got 2 type.  Expensive Hybrid such as Volvo / Benz / BMW in Malaysia are all PHEV. PHEV Hybrid got extra charging port, so you can charge your car in mall / house. PHEV battery are small comapre to EV cars, because PHEV car battery only can last 40-60km that why your friend says, it charge very fast, actually nop, because the battery capacity are small.

Japanese hybrid car in Malaysia market are all HEV. Civic , Insight , Yaris Cross , Corolla Cross , Prius (Old) , Camry Hybrid , Nissan Serena Hybrid...etc etc are all HEV.
HEV Hybrid don't have charging port. Battery had to be recharge by engine running. HEV hybrid cannot park at Charging station inside mall, totally no advantage in parking.
*
I think could up to 100km. In fact, cheaper range cars from China are now started to equiped with PHEV like Chery!

QUOTE(shyan90's @ Oct 16 2023, 10:09 AM)
I heard some 330E owner claim that if you din charge your battery in your PHEV..your car FC will worst than petrol car as there is additional weight and your engine capacity are chop due to the EV system..
*
Indeed. So, it's like Petrol Backup car instead of Battery backup car (Hybrid). Macam Petrol Tank not so big, but battery size is bigger (than hybrid car) but smaller (than EV Car). So, certain weight is there.
