Expected Price of P2 EMO
leasing battery: <RM80k
with battery: <RM90k

One of the information that was shared was the fact that the EV is reaching 90-percent into development which means, the automaker will be able to launch the EV by the end of this year as stated.

Moreover, to make sure that the EMO is priced below RM100,000, Perodua will be introducing a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model—the first in Malaysia. Instead of owning the battery, buyers can lease it for a minimal monthly fee. The ‘rental’ fee is the minimum, and based on surveys by Perodua, many are in favour of this method, according to Zainal.

This strategy is also the national automaker’s way of addressing the issue of electric vehicle (EV) resale value. At present, EVs tend to depreciate more rapidly than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, primarily due to the high cost of battery replacement.

To counter this, customers have the option to purchase the EMO’s battery outright, which includes a standard eight-year warranty. Additionally, Zainal noted that if necessary, the EMO’s battery can be swapped in just 30 minutes.

Pre-production of the EMO will begin in September at Perodua’s new BEV facility in Sg Choh, where the company will produce around 500 units per month initially. The EV will also be the first Perodua model to use hot press-formed steel, with Zainal also confirming the platform is Perodua’s own IP, with no involvement from Daihatsu.

can existing BYD or Proton Geely replace theirs in 30 mins? or they are built-in and cannot be replaced and must scrape the whole car together? hence, resale value down the drain?

you won't get 15min full charge in Malaysia charging stations. that's for sure. in China maybe since they have 1MW charging stations and cold weather.

my perspective is

EV battery price are reducing so if buy outright you already lost. ie you fixed yourself to the same battery.

one may have the opportunity to switch to new gen battery when leasing for the same size with longer range in future.

and EV battery is degrading overtime, not owning it is good thing. the 2nd hand owner can lease new battery when one bought the car.

up to you unker. but i am optimistic about this Perodua model. Nio is also doing it with their Firefly.

another thing is i wonder how the ev car insurance is affected since currently ev car insurance is expensive mainly because of the battery. when subscribing to ev battery, the battery is not owned by the car user. so not sure will the insurance be cheaper since it does not need to cover the battery.

now Perodua need to give more details on the battery leasing plan.

i doubt they will make you pay full price of the battery over say 9 years. then what's the difference between the 2 plan?

well that's what the Perodua CEO told the media about the price difference.
