if you project battery to be efficient in future and more mature tech, it should be cheaper like any other tech.

Solar EV just gimmick. U need to park under the hot sun for a week to fully charge the battery. And most ppl park indoor most of the time

Battery can become cheaper, but manufacturers have no incentives to push for battery replacement while you all changing new cars can bring more profits.

Kind of like how modern smartphones are often time changed instead of repair/service.

We need some 3rd party players commit to retrofit newer battery techs into older EVs, at a reasonable price.

5-7 years the car battery still under warranty. can change at no cost

Show you one statistic data. The EV lithium battery cost history
2013 $806 per kw and until 2024 it is $115 per kw. This translate to aveage 15% decrease in price. If we take the average decrease of 10% from 2025-2030, by 2030 the price per kw will be only $60. 2030 vs 2013 the price is anticipated to drop a whopping 92.5%.

If you buy an EV now BYD Atto 3 battery cost is RM 22,835 and battery price decrease 10% (this is very conservative rate as I do not take 15%). After 8 years the battery replacement cost should be RM 11k.

Bear in mind that battery cost is keep dropping over the year. It is GUARANTEE that after 8 years from now you won't need to pay 2025 price in 2032. It is definitely cheaper price by 2032.

my apartment allows resident to install charger at their parking lot. got 1 taycan and several teslas. all got charger at their parking lot. as long as JMB approve, no issue for high rise resident to own ev and still can charge at home.

https://www.zigwheels.my/new-cars/byd/seal/...d-with-byd-seal - What cars are most compared with BYD Seal?

Car models that are most compared against BYD Seal are BYD Seal, Mazda 6, Mazda 3 Sedan, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Corolla GR Sport and Tesla Model 3. These 6 model are top BYD Seal alternatives in terms of price, performance, features, engine, economy, dimensions, safaty & security.

= BYD Seal is not comparable to BMW M3 CS.

Apples and oranges.
.

He said Seal Performance. Not a Seal. I want to see Mazda 6, Corolla, GR Sport go 0-100 in 3.8 seconds.

Performance not only acceleration..it include top speed, braking power, stability etc

There's no problem with the braking from 100 to 0 and there's no problem with the stability. Top speed is electronically capped at 190kmh.

as technology progress, battery will be cheaper

Giving up 700k car for 200k car, use the spare 500k to invest in property can retire faster

I want to see BYD Seal Performance top Mazda 6's topspeed of 240km/h.

.... The top speed of an electric vehicle will be limited to the maximum rotating speed of the motor. ...
.
It's likely another EV scam tactic to say that EV carmakers purposely limited their topspeed to save battery range, similar as them saying EV is to save the environment or reduce air pollution/clean air.
.

On what road can you go 240kmh before you see another sohai driving 100 on all the lanes? In Malaysian roads, acceleration is king.

.
Fyi, in terms of 0-30km/h acceleration at traffic lights, even  120cc kapchai/s is king on Malaysian roads.

On near empty Malaysian highways, we can temporarily go above 180km/h and up to 240km/h for short speed bursts when needed, eg to rush to the KLIA airport at 3am to catch a very important early morning flight.

Of course, it is discouraged for car drivers to go above the speed limit  unnecessarily.
.

P S - BYD Seal Performance topspeed is only 180km/h.

Tldr
Maintain above 180km speeds no problem.
Constant over taking on highway, power shuts off.

Seal performance can definitely go above 180 although I’ve only pushed it to 196. It advertises itself at 180 but definitely can go way above
