just the way things are..either make your car as good as possible or just dont care much anymore

last time wajunk i use fully syn oil do this maintenance try what brake pads what tires but after 10 years its slow off the line get even slower and the engine become noisier until fedup of it and change to picanto which is night and day different..so much quieter better ride more comfy

looking at ev since i dont drive much anymore, but ev still have ev issues..just wait and see how things goes for now

This is ICE car?

If ICE car, just change the battery. What huh hah about it?

it really depends on how well the engine is designed and built

one guy dynoed his 16 years old porsche 911 with 56k miles, stock should ne 300hp on flywheel, it measured 275hp on the wheel, barely any loss of power

but some other cars, can have huge power losses, i don't like those brands after seeing those.

i'm also waiting for cheap ev because doesn't seem good choice to buy new ice car now when nee things keeps coming out

one of my friend had waja, i also drove one long time ago and i don't find them to be loud hmm, my friend's pretty old too with mitsu engine

Think properly first before get a ev, there are good things but also huge bad points with ev.. with EV either it works for your lifestyle or it don't

Mine also a 2002 with mitsu, didn't abuse it too much just enjoy the handling a little lol and not say high mileage just 130k km or so only.. drive on highway the noise is quite loud add with tire noise it's kinda tiring

Why electric car still stuck with 12v lead acid tech for acc component?

Why no development for this component of the car

Still need bateri ku come to rescue

Actually Volvo cars are quite cheap compared to BMW or Merc. Which is why you see tons of XC40 running around.

XC40 is suitable for small families with small kids I think. It falls in compact SUV class.

But I like the design of XC40, looks sexy for my eyes.

Tesla used 12v lithium ion battery from 2022 which last as long the car. BYD to follow soon

U mean same battery tech that power my makita power tools????

Not sure whether same tech.

This cny see got ev stuck on highway or not, jam till battery empty

Cars like Peugeot will warn the driver if the 12V battery is weak. U will get messages such as Economy Mode or Economy Mode Active. Usually after 2-3 years will see this message.

This type of battery? It is more expensive though.

Similar. Not sure how long byd LFP battery will last but Tesla one should last a life time according to Tesla

Another ignorant comment who dunno how EV works

If it is EV, it even more funny.

Why the car need to drive to charge back the 12v battery?

An auto switch or whatever to let the main battery charge the 12v battery. It shouldn’t an issue of car cannot drive cause by 12v battery.

Farking cannot brain such stupid tech.

Is the main battery charging the 12v

EVs don't have alternators, another problematic moving part on ICE cars, prone to failure. The starter battery is charged by the EV main battery.

Gc mah from autobuzz sapu xc90 polestar

EVs don't have engines, so it doesn't have wasteful idling.

You are far more likely to encounter overheated ICE cars that boiled over during massive jams.
