If you look at it by comparing to petrol cost, does not make much sense for most people. But if you look at it comparing to eventual EV battery replacement cost, does it make sense? One month 300 means one year 3600, and 10 years is 36k. By 10 years EV battery sure needs replacement already. So what happened? Perodua gonna give you new battery free? Or still have hidden cost?

Eventually all will become almost same.

Only difference is u get:
- Drive a different car
- U get a wow, u drive ev, u r rich and very uptrend & u maybe easier hook up a girl.

Rent what LJ battery.

Change the car la. It already 10yrs old.

Rent battery and you still need to pay for charging right?

Rent RM300 + Charging Cost = Mahal than petrol.

not worth if drive <1k km/month

why pay monthly 300rm rental for battery...?

may as well continue in petrol car...

It's stupid. Should just rent out the whole car, not only battery.

new free battery? dream on

its "continue to subscribe " until u not use anymore

the point of change is unsure, perhaps need to find in the TnC, when reach 70% , or 60%, dunno

stupid concept unless they do it like Nio's hot swappable battery

Nio woso nazak woredi…

Machem on verge bankruptcy

A shame because they are one of the Chinese EV pioneers

Kana saman by singkie gomen investment board woh…

Their investment upcar

After 9 years, battery out of warranty already. so, if shit happen, u continue subs for another 9 years la. that is where car manufacturer made money. ev maintenace is damn cheap. this is the way they made money. If not how they want to survive.

U dunno Msia got many waterfish

Boleh pakai lagi....

They where will keep replacing new battery.

This is dumb and will not work.
You forever renting the car and it' will never be yours fully.
rm300 can covered the petrol cost for more. On top of that you still need to factor in charging cost.

This packaging will not sell.RIP

They already close down the battery swapping in EU.

Even in warranty, perodua will claim, battery is alright. I belip they die die will reject new battery claim at year 8. enter into 9th year ownership, once warranty expired, they will come out said, aiyo, ur battery not efficient anymore, can only hold 30% charge. user need to continue 9 years subscription. lol. that is how they milking customer money.

if suddenly no pay monthly how? cut electricity supply?

Probably they can auto download new instruction to car to stop battery from working

ayam read thru the autobuzz article just now

its said that can return to P2 once reach 70% . to reach 70% might not even be 9 yrs, could be faster than that?

here's from autobuzz-

Under this arrangement, buyers will have to sign a nine-year lease agreement and pay a fixed monthly fee of around RM275. Notably, payment is made through a single payment to the bank, so owners need not worry about separate payments.

In case you’re wondering how the payment structure would look, here are some samples of monthly instalment calculations with an interest rate of 2.7%.

9-year loan: RM921 + RM275 = RM1,196
7-year loan: RM1,133 + RM275 = RM1,408
5-year loan: RM1,513 + RM275 = RM1,788

sos - autobuzz

Single payment to bank, meaning its included in loan, so u have no choice but to pay during sign?

its just that your d/p will reduce, like 8k (10%) follow body price. but the monthly payment will include the battery .

but those who want to sell car early, memang GG lo

later got workshop sell P2 jailbreak package ?

too much la, essentially you are adding on this 300 into your monthly installment for the car.

assuming a 7 year loan, that will work out to ~1.5k per month.

baik beli toyota vios or honda city. spare part banyak, boleh cari mekanik bawah pokok.

edit: This would probably make sense for more expensive cars ~200k-300k. At that point 300 extra per month is only <10% extra.

Might be possible with old NMC battery.

Those old Tesla 6-7 years old user lanyak their car with very high mileage and supercharge/dc fast charge everytime woso battery still got 86% on average…

This LFP battery chargecycle life span almost double that of NMC…

Highly unlikely drop below 70% in 9 years unless theres defect…

No.

loke must resign la

Not worth it for me because my monthly petrol is less than RM200

Giler ke pa? Bayar sewa nak kena bayar letrik lagi. Ingat duit byk kah?

After 7 years kereta dah lama, motor dah lama, tapi ada battery baru, apa guna?
If included free monthly charging, maybe ok la.

You guys dont kena game by Perodua la

Perodua just jackup the price and sell u guys higher price point EV
yea i get it the R&D are not cheap since all built in-house

Like BYD, Proton, Xpeng, Tesla battery, they are using LFP also, there is not much battery failure going on with their vehicle, furthermore they got warranty for it.

They should have just covered everything in one package. Leasing battery is pure stupid(to consumer) for knowingly malaysian suka loan at 7 or 9 years hire-purchase. Battery failure is not common thing in 2025. Perodua should act more about it.

RM1408 repayment already get secured a Model 3 brooooooooo
think twice pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Perodua played the wrong card this time.

People buy Perodua because of the low maintenance and fuss free.

Apa, they think people buy Perodua because of its status ke?

Car is 9 year old and you still have to continue paying 3k+ yearly for the battery?

may not apply here where ambient temperature is higher.

see below for long duration lifepo4(calendar aging) run:
case 1 - 55c
case 2 - 47.5c
case 3 - 40c

one thing need to remember, if if you normal ev with battery, if the battery rm30k, that goes to the price of the ev and then it's included for the loan you take as well as the interests accrued. Like rm30k battery with total 20% interest over 7 or 9 years, that is 36k cost already. So the rm275 by perodua is not that bad.

go ahead lor, model 3 standard range with LFP battery, tesla malaysia parts for the battery is rm53k without including labor for replacement yet. Tesla model 3 long range with NMC battery around rm100k

you just delaying the cost, the cost of replacing the battery in the future or if you don't replace it and keep it for 10years+, the cost of having your resale value drops like a cliff because nobody wants an ev that is time bomb for battery replacement costs

and it's under warranty.
EV battery replacements are rare, not all cars need to battery replacement.

ICE car engine also can break down, if scare here scare there dont buy car please

maybe we could just stop the battery service and get our own battery. after 9 years we are likely to get higher density battery, we could even opted for smaller battery for weight reduction.

The most stupid concept by P2. Whoever buy into this are equally if not more stupid.

Dah kata EV is scam tanak percaya. Skrang baru orang mula nak celik

kek, sub-100kMYR EV




*battery not included

Yes, forever need to pay the rm275/month even after 9 years, because its a rent. Stupid concept there.

Imagine after 10 years, the value of the car is 5k, u buy cash, but still need to pay 275 each month like an idiot, lol.

Lol wtf. When will they start selling their Bezza without tyres?

No business is setup with consumers "sense" in mind.

Yeah the battery got 'lifetime' warranty so if speedster everyday u will come out ahead of this deal. 😉

If the subscription fail how? Will the brick itself?

if its 60k, then rent that for 300 / month plus charging cost

walao

still expensive disposable p2 car lmao

kenot be la

P2 is king of RV

where got 5k , even 2015 axia still hanging around 15-25k.

done plotek

Then big question, the battery itself is not yours cos is it rental/leasing. Technically it not yours

no need
perodua send technician to your house everyday to charge for u

This is more of a 'Halo' project for Perodua. They knew it's a goner and low volume seller. They just want it up and running. Few years down the road rebadge Toyota / Daihatsu EV again.

No thx later they will lock your battery like teco phone topkek

Yes, it's not ours, it's belong to p2. Once the capacity drops below 70%, then can exchange new battery. 275 still continue paying.

Dumb move by PERODUA…nobody cares about 7-10 years later but everybody only wants it ‘free’…so it must be bundled together not ro be seen as ‘extra’ pay..

What they smoking? PERODUA buyers are extremely price sensitive..

Axia is prince yo, ice prince, rv super.

Means you are paying worry free EV battery car for 10 years


Means you no worry for 10 efffing years

Means RM 36k for 10 years to fix your worry

Why would one wanna pay endlessly for its battery?

China car is giving 8 years on battery..

Rm36k savings can buy another car already…Lolx

That’s the way to make the RV high. Basically, you pay for battery on behalf of next owner.

Including battery cost, this is actually a RM100k+ car... but you see the interior shots, really cannot pakai la for a 100k car, wtf are they thinking? Some more, EV is supposed to be free of duties now

battery more expensive than corolla cross hybrid DYNAMIC FORCE

RIP pero2

cost to replace battery will drop year by year. i dont think next 7 years will be >20k. This rental concept is not worth it

On the good side , downpayment is much lower 8k only,insurance is also much lower since they ain’t covering the battery (which is the asset of p2) then…

With rm8k down payment , many can afford …

later when try claim the battery then there will be 1001 terms & excuses for you.

Don't forget only can sell back to perodua, so if I want to change other brand will they reject me?

then next question, since the battery is on rental, so if it cause any damage or fire to car who should pay for repair? does not make sense for me to loose my NCD if the damage is caused by the supplier's bad product right?

If you have a 200k-300k car then the extra 30k might be worth it. If Tesla offered this for some of their higher end models, I can see many people taking up this option.

Perodua with a <100k car asking for a 30k topup?

This post has been edited by loserguy: Dec 1 2025, 04:39 PM

30k if assume u own for 10 years. What if 20 years? 60k, topkek. Just look around, so many 2005 myvi still on the road

At the end of the day is LPPL,

It just some gimmick to make it so called to maintain the RV.

The RV are maintained by renting the battery, so the higher RV are offset by the rent itself at the first place liao.

So the next 2nd owner lagi kecian, bought the higher RV car but still need to pay for the 'rent' battery continuously but with new battery la.

So abit 'lebih' one.

It's not a >100k EV if you include the battery

i think so, Since resale value is their main concern, i predict Perodua will buy back the car not less than 9 years loan balance as benchmark.

For consumer who know the calculation, u are basically paying RM112k for a period of 9 years at the size of emas 5 with a better acceleration. emas 5 is selling RM70k, basically u are overpay RM42k.

the interior is so Perodua-ish, full of hard plastic and buttons. The steering i really cannot accept. Then the front seat height is so tall, sitting at the back with limited sight/view.

Orang tolol sahaja beli Perodua EV ni

soyacancau apa comment?

In Pauline video they say as long as u replace the battery even if under warranty, u need to resign new 9 year lease

I think Perodua will be happy to change battery for you since you will reset the timer again for 9 years kek

When u sell second hand to someone also they have the choice to either continue your existing contract tenure and use existing battery, or sign new 9 year lease to get new battery.

So regardless in any case, new battery = renew 9 year lease

What’s the point anyway then

Many people prefer to use button and it is actually safer too.This has becoming rarer and rarer in recent cars. what's more in an EV?

RM42k can buy how many eMas5 EV battery?

Rent whole car for 1k and cover everything. User just need to pay for charging electricity

Ada berani PERODUA?

Anyway for b40 they will say berbaloi Janji ev latest trend and Gayá Ada while they wear thier fake rayban and sit in the car for hours at charging station

This post has been edited by Roadwarrior1337: Dec 1 2025, 07:45 PM

Like that, worse than those brands giving at least 8 years battery warranty inclusive?
It like buying the EV without batteries warranty. It just like instalment plan no ending somemore

Now P2 really give correct meaning normally 2nd hand car dealer selling "Harga Body saja" lol!

BELILAH WE GOT CUCUKTECH NO Q

Better if just do like the Ativa Hybrid pilot program last time

Just lease the whole car

This post has been edited by DogeGamingPRO: Dec 1 2025, 07:52 PM

in short u have no rights on the battery, no pay = remote potong off your battery access

Start stop button (i think the first one i ever seen in EV car)
Steering button

What if the battery is recycled but you dunno because you cannot open it.

Kekwa
By the time the battery need to be replaced, even if p2 gonna do it for "free", you actually have already paid enough for it.

I'm waiting for insurance company to propose battery policy pulak.
