Not on my car buying list due to rather expensive & worry abt catching fire due to battery issue.

I hv 5 ICE cars at home but no EV, so far no fire risk.
Worry if buy EV, house burn down while charging on on the road.

Only possible fire risk for ICE cars is due to fuel leak onto hot exhaust or crash. I would worry more if there is an EV park or charging at home than 5 or more ICE cars parked at home.

Your choice. ICE car fires are caused by leaking fuel (petrol) after an accident or hose leak and drip onto hot engine part such as exhaust. Engine & transmission oils are non combustible.

Personally, felt the car overpriced. Since it will be locally made, it should make it below 100k for majority of people to easy transit to EV.

No, this is definitely not for B40.

B40 should not buy any EV at all coz the battery replacement will cost them too much, and especially that is likely to happen after their 9 years loan settlement.  How are they going to get loan for battery replacement ?

So, no.  EV not for B40.

Thanks again!!

Another question to those of you owning EV, I read a soc media post and some colleagues who keeps mentioning EV is for short distance travel and as a 2nd car while you have a primary ICE for long distance etc. Is that true in current situation? I see increased DC chargers especially along highways so don't understand that concept of why EV shdnt be primary vehicle...

I think TCY the car reviewer that owns a Tesla Model 3 long range and MG4 Extended Range would be a much balanced opinion. He only uses the EV within the city and still revert to his Mazda CX-8 for long distance drive. And he also mentioned always try to get an EV with WLTP range of more than 500 km to be able to use it without having too much of range anxiety as when you add in other factors into the equation, the range would be slightly less even in the WLTP case (let alone other standard like NEDc).

year by year, u will get lesser range.
