In Singapore the problem with EV is the roadtax is freaking high in order to compensate the gov cannot collect fuel tax

Atto 3 roadtax there sgd 1.5k every year. Similar pice petrol car is less than $800

EV is not really kicking off in SG as well, you go look at the stats. I spoke to a few of my friends down south about EV, they find it a hassle charging cause >90% of ppl live in high rise

Photoshop died due to digital camera and smartphone. So car workshop will die too. It is the price of progress. If don't want progress now we should be all riding horses so stables can have business.😆

Me more scare those Chinese manufacturers change their tech and models faster than the warranty period can cover.
Now already start using newer and cheaper EV batteries, those old batteries technology will going obsolete faster than the warranty. Not sure they are compatible or will do the spare part for older models

If not, dunno where they going to find replacements for warranty or after warranty period
