Not accounting for BMW maintenance cost yearly, rm30k easily covered

Depends. Not always. If you ask me.

100/% of battery cost usd10k.

Degraded 70% battery... Have minimum value of usd5k.

Up to you to adjust the numbers or replace with relevant numbers in 8 years.

Fyi, .......

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.

Yeah. I take it as similar as the need to overhaul an engine after 8 years of use. Probably lose some FC at that point, a bit louder etc2. Probably not necessary since most people can live with the decrease in performance.

That battery price? include labor?

If we get jackpot. Basically it drops to 65% before 8years... Than a free 100% is swapped? Or they just swap a 70% for you. Lulz.

This is the more important question. Haha

People throw away the ev car usually if battery kong

30 year ago yes.

Now better keep that 500k in epf

paiseh.

cars for me i willingly to lose all of its value rather than thinking its second hand value.

Don't worry, b4 warranty expire, the car self burn, claim insurance total lost.

how much $ use to charge a car?

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

my 7 years old honda city hybrid idcd battery still running fine, although the max range I got decreased like ~1-2% per year LOL

so i think hybrid/EV battery would last pretty much > 8 years. Maybe reach ~20th year then battery health will be like <70% already.
but it's still drivable though with less max range compare to Year 1.

too cheap..must at least 50K and up

and also didnt calculate factor like explosion and fire lol

If cost of batteries is cheap, then EV car should be able to maintain resale value

So conclusion is, you can spend that money on petrol and it will be cheaper

At current TnB rate and assuming paying the highest tier, it should be roughly half the cost of RON95 for equivalent mileage.

how about porsche taycan

outside fast charge
outside slow ; home ; home with solar

all will have different rate
