Need a city drive car. Just to market and eating out purpose. Dont need to consider outstation drive. Not too big but reasonable space to carry items at the back with fold down seats. I am a retire, only me & wife.

Considering Ativa and waiting for the launch of Perodua Nexus. Am told Nexus is slightly bigger, may be more suitable. However i do like the height of the Ativa. Welcome comments. Tks!

MG4 over 100K? Thats an additional 30K budget over Ativa AV or over 40% increase. Plenty of other options in that price bracket.

Any idea if P1 or P2 EVs be priced below 100K?
Thinking of getting a small EV with 500km range on the newer LFP batteries used by models like Dolphin. Preferbly with 8 yr battery warranty.

main problem nowadays... want small cannot have range... want range cannot be small...

no doubt p1 n p2 will be competitive...

This will not be an issue for me. I will only use it for city drive, back home for charge. Many times at home the whole day.

Thats is true, now there are quite a number of charge points in a few places. However I looked at cost factor. Its interesting buying energy from any of these places comes to same cost as petrol. Some even slightly more.
Hear's  a breakdown -
1KW energy cost roughly RM1 and yeilds 5KM drive on EV. 1KW home charge cost roughly RM0.55.
RM1 ringgit of Ron95 also dives roughly 5km.

So can see if I was to charge out side, cost it the same as ICE engine. Defeats the purpose of owning EV.

Good luck on your 2door coupe. I've gone through that phase.

a lot more failure points with ice... also oil change costs

but yeah... charge at home same as hybrid... charge outside same as normal ice...
