RM1,000 worth of gift + RM500 cashback, so I think technically is just RM500 rebate. The other RM1,000 comes in form of gifts I guess, probably 3pin charger or so.

Proton X70 goes up to 126k... this one if tops out at 129k seems pretty good deal? Technically speaking if compare to other EV in this class in Malaysia... where are the competitors?

Leapmotor C10 RM149,000 for introductory
BYD Atto 3 RM149,800 (I was offered RM135,000 some said can get RM120,000... but no luck on this one, interior is one that if you like it you like it... I didn't...).
Xpeng G6 RM165,000.

What other SUV within this size and price range, eg below 180k?

I'm guessing its 119k and 129k without insurance price.

I didn't think the 11kw OBC is that expensive...

Either ways I always prefer 3 phase OBC rather than single phase OBC...

The 7kW will pull 32A, which even if your house is 3 phase but heavily loaded also will overload that phase and require balancing.

How is e.MAS 7 interior build compared to C10? Better build? Nice feel to touch?

Local SA told me the first batch will be CBU from China.

Is the DCFC speed so critical though?

I drive M3LR, 250kW peak... I rarely get that on Superchargers (need low SoC and preconditioned battery) and probably less than 3 minute throughout the charging session.

The other day was at Ipoh, also limited to 60kW Gentari. These >200W chargers are pretty limited, and if available also is for the 800V cars.

100kW can fully utilize most DCFC now already la (assuming charging curve is good).

Tesla charge curve gradually reduces, this is probably what they have learnt to maximize charge speed and battery life span probably over the years. For Tesla it actively monitors the temperature of the battery pack, if your AC radiator is clogged and it doesn't cool the battery pack as efficiently you don't get top speed either.

Some brands, I think brands like BMWs does it step by step... depending on the %. Not sure how is it like on the e.MAS 7.

I'm shopping for the wife, long distance drive will be using my M3LR which has more range... this one is most for town drive (or occasionally going to nearer outstations say Melaka-KL or Melaka-Muar kinda trips), or when need to fetch more people (M3 when fetch more people very stressful when I see speed bumps ).

I see the new trend now is announcing RM xxx and below, instead of the usual "from RM xxx". *cough* Zeekr *cough*. Looks like they are testing the market interest before announcing the actual price. Maybe if less bookings = lower price?

Personally, I think e.MAS 7 is a good choice. Only issue now is convincing my wife as she is kinda allergy towards the kucing logo . We went to test drive BYD Dolphin and BYD Atto 3 two weeks ago, she strike off Dolphin cause of the interior and front headlamp design. Atto 3 under consideration, offered about 135k for 2024 model... which IF the e.MAS 7 is 129k for long range, no brainer to go for e.MAS 7! Only will consider the Dolphin if it is indeed about 120k like what I read on FB... that also hard sell la because I still value the space and interior design of the e.MAS 7 and most important is the 11kW OBC. My house been using 16A x 3 so far and has been rock solid... don't wanna be using 32A single phase that I might need to do some load balancing at my home pulak.

Someone in MyEVOC shared this, he got it for 115k and said others can get for 120k. I only got the 135k one.

Yes...! EV powertrain is

Driving a BEV for months now, almost time to renew insurance too. No turning back, now surveying for an affordable BEV for wife. So far e.MAS 7 is my top pick, but my wife is allergy towards the kucing logo need to continue persuading her...

What are the competitive prices above 100k we talking about here?

Lets put it below 140k... product that's competitive to e.MAS 7.

I have test driven Atto 3, MG4, MG ZS EV, Dolphin... the e.MAS 7 if priced at 129k... seems like a steal now. Belum lagi test drive, interior build feeling already tapao the rest.

Also test driven the pricier #1 and G6... and I say the competitor would be G6 la... RM165k price tag car. Leapmotor C10 no test drive nearby me.

Anyone manage to secure a test drive slot yet? Or still gotta wait until Dec'24?

Because cannot share showroom with existing Proton, need to be standalone e.Mas branding.

Is it because X series you hear the engine more than road noise?

Don't have experience with "mid range cars". I drove Honda Civic FC 1.5 (the ketam)... the engine noise is there... but pretty damn sure the Continental MC5 was a lot louder than the Michelin ePrimacy T2 I have now on the Model 3.
