as Hybrid user, i do comparison with EV, Hybrid is still save a lot of money.
would probably recommend an EV for 2nd or 3rd car, but not as main vehicle.
Would EV user advice/persuade all to get a Hybrid?

QUOTE(mactreouser @ Oct 11 2023, 08:19 PM) Oh... so, Petrol still the most convenient at the moment la? yes. no range anxiety of EV that need to search for charging station at rural area. my hybrid will be 6 years old next month. at 110km still can use battery. not above 40km sure gonna be petrol/ICE mode. QUOTE(RegentCid @ Oct 11 2023, 11:59 PM) Hybrid are way better than EV because you no need worry any range problem. 5 min full tank (Petrol). Go to mall or Airport, I park at Hybrid / EV spot, hassle free. New type of Hybrid Car are PHEV. You can charge your car like EV. Old Hybrid such as Civic Hybrid / Camry Hybrid / Honda Insight are non PHEV. Japanese hybrid car in Malaysia market are all non PHEV, so you can park at EV car spot. my car service every 9 months or 15000km. Hybrid maintenance really really high and car after sales value very very low. If you plan to play play for few years then sell, forget about it. Every 10k need service the car like ICE car, my Prius in Japan service around Rm1-1.2k. 4-5 years need change car big Battery, Electric motor, Electric generator, Power control unit, and a power split device approx. Rm15k + Engine Part will be Timing Belt , Engine Water Pump + Gearbox Service another 5-7k (plus workmanship) service more or less the same as ICE car, not that expensive. the most i can get per tank is 1000km, average at 700-800km. mactreouser liked this post

QUOTE(mactreouser @ Oct 13 2023, 12:17 AM) 6 years old Hybrid Car?! Wow... Any big problem? And so far. How's the maintenance cost in average? Estimating when will be the time to replace the battery? 🤪 maintenance cost from RM300+ to RM2000+ depend on the service schedule.my milage is only about 77000km++. other user of the same car, reach 300,000km++ and the hybrid battery still working good. but if talking about 12V normal battery, once every 2-3 years. mactreouser liked this post

QUOTE(mactreouser @ Oct 13 2023, 03:25 PM) As your experience, in terms of Money Save wise, Hybrid is best bet compared to ICE Car? proper Plug In Hybrid (PHEV) is the best of both world.Hybrid (HEV) as second as it can extend the ICE range. ICE is normal. EV (BEV) not yet nearing HEV level. Yes, they said that low maintenance due to no engine fluid etc. but the cost to own, the tax after tax free period, the special tyres, charging station for home, charging rate at public station... not money save at all. example by soyacincau https://soyacincau.com/2023/09/05/hyundai-i...poh-taiping-jb/ RM161.24 charging with 1st charge is free, cover 1236km. RM164 is approximately 2 times my full tank and can cover ±1600-1800km. mactreouser liked this post

QUOTE(mactreouser @ Oct 16 2023, 09:10 AM) Appreciate your useful info & practical POV! my service of hybrid car, compare to my brother ICE car, more or less cost the same. it is not double the cost.Regarding to PHEV, it seems the trend from now on ya?! In terms of Petrol First on Hybrid vs Battery First on PHEV, what about maintenance wise like both are equipped with ICE Engine, right? Then might double the maintenance cost for EV & Engine service like engine oil, coolant & radiator ... etc? the thing is, proper PHEV is no longer available. PHEV from europe, still put "performance" first rather than milage per tank. PHEV from asia seems dead and move on to full EV. mactreouser liked this post
