a zeekr X below rm100k would be awesome hahaha

When there is a demand, there is a market.

Believe it or not, Malaysia will be full of 3rd party EV battery replacement service in coming years.

As EV owner shall not worry and just enjoy the ride. Let the ICE owners keep mumbling sh*t like boiling water.

Unless you have the mindset of buying a car and can accept full depreciation value like one of our forummer Boy96, then EV is definitely not for you. If you noticed our friend here buys all the "cold" cars like Ford and VW and yes the mentioned BYD Atto. Basically he doesn't mind the depreciation that comes with it.

He's rich. 
apa apa mindset blahblah. If you're rich you don't care about RV. Thats all.

If rich already buy aston martin, jaguar, maserati, bentley, lotus
Not pijot, ford, vw, caina ev

What will be your next car after Atto?

Last time ada manyak complain hybrid battery mahal, cakap replacement will cost RM15-20k, now below RM10k can replace liao, if not mistaken with RM6-8k can replace liao.

Then u can see more and more workshop who able to fix hybrid car sudah beli EV diagnose machine and start venture into this business.

If rich already buy aston martin, jaguar, maserati, bentley, lotus

My petrol usage in kuching per week. Myr 60 half tank fill. That's how little I drive in this city.

60 x 4 weeks = 240 myr
240 myr x 12 months. 2880 myr per annum.

Battery life of byd?

This is the following from other thread

BYD Atto 3: RM22,835 total cost, or RM3,262 per year on average
Chery Omoda E5: RM23,031 total cost, or RM3,290 per year on average
GWM Ora Good Cat 500 Ultra: RM18,047 total cost, or RM2,578 per year on average
BYD Seal Performance: RM31,148 total cost, or RM4,450 per year on average

In short.... Ice still wins with petrol subsidy. Only change when goverment remove subsidy

i dont think people complaining those less than rm10k replacement, but rather rm100k replacement from beloved conti brand.

Depends on rate whether worth or not. I took 9 year loan for my Tesla at 2% rate or effectively 3.7%. I have the cash to pay direct but figured that there are much better uses elsewhere for it.

Similar. I'm taking 9 years loan instead of paying more and taking shorter tenure because of high monthly repayment, which if lower can be use as investment, and the extra cash that I put even by waiting for some passive investment also enough to pay the car maintenance. In financial, I think we need to be more flexible on how to play around so that we can optimized the money and get the highest ROI out of it.

Those saying solar don't realized they actually are paying the electricity/fuel in advance

Car loan can pay more installment meh?
Can only pay 1 lump sum early settlement (with rebate somemore)
...never heard hire purchase works like home loan - pay more, can shorten tenure

EV = kereta pakai buang.

Still want to buy using 9 years loan?

do you question other people buying iphone/samsung?
Why bother?
