So conclusion is, EV is a city car.
Not suitable for long journey and less developed places.

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

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).

Apartment condo oso possible now without access to home charging.

But this 2 thing is your main primary source to charge:

A litre of petrol covered distance is generally almost equivalent to 2 kwh. So means to get cheaper or at least same cost than petrol. Per kwh rate must be lowered than rm1.

1. Use apps identify which gentari fast charger is nearest to your home/office or along the way.

Gentari mainly use fast charging and count per kwh of your car being charged. Can fill up 40-80% pretty fast within less than 1 hour or a lil bit more. Per kwh they charge non member rm1.20 to rm1.50 usually.

If you enroll gentari membership which is around rm890-900 per annum. They will discount 50% charging rate compared to non member. This means per kwh price half to 60-75cents.

2. Locate mall or commercial area that you always frequent that have shell recharge ev charger in their mall. Rate is damn cheap for 7-11kwh AC slow charging. Usually rm3 per hour. Parking rate plus charging cost if average up it only cost around 58cents per kwh. That almost similar to charging from your home. Of course you need to spent time in mall longer 2-4 hours to get 14-28kwh charged.

3. There is also some strata highrise that already install ev chargers. You can find out via ev chargers apps. The charging rate is usually just slightly higher than charging from your home. The cost reduce more if you enroll their membership around rm200+ per annum like chargev. From 80cents per kwh will drop to 60cents per kwh rate fir slow charging AC. Chargev also give their members free charging on some of their slow AC chargers. They also have DC fast charge but im not sure their members rate got discount or just the same as non members.

So far, accurate? Keep adding more charging station?
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 🙏🏼
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?
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.

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.

Not an expert but this vid will help explain why the plug burnt:

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
I think yes! As BYD owner mentioned, they Free Gift Wall Box, but installation fees not included (correct me if I'm wrong)
Condo, then private premise, decided by Condo, right?

Now BYD gip u choose.

Free wall box or free rm2000 charging credit they transfer to your either chargev or jomcharge app.

My condo here got charger.
RM 1/kwh
22kw and 11kw

Is this cheap?
*
Decent.

Not expensive not cheap.

Generally simple rule of thumb,

2kwh = 1 litre of petrol…

The distance this 2 covered almost similar

Means you charge rate for electric car similar to IcE car refueling ron95 at rm2.05 per litre right now…

Thanks for clarification.

This would be based on the estimate of 1 kwh = 5-6km?
*
Yup.

Generally those reviewing EV expert put benchmark 15kwh covered 100km range.

If the ev able to achieve 100km using less than 15kwh, is considered an efficient ev for them.

So around 6.66km per kwh distance covered on average.
