Perodua is digging their own grave by selling this QVE with BAAS, if the car price sell around RM60-65k plus BAAS maybe ada buyer lagi, but RM80k is a bit steep.
So many question will arise if they sell battery separately:
1. What if battery broke out fire/smoke causing the car need a huge chunk of money to restore? is it paid by battery insurance?
2. What if the battery under carriage battery keep scratch and and battery emit smoke? is perodua going to replace battery entirely?
3. What if the owner go sabotage the battery and causing battery damage? is perodua going to replace the battery?
4. By placing tracker on the battery, is it violate PDPA? literally Perodua know where u stay and where u went. If hacker infiltrate Perodua server those data will be expose.
Perodua is building QVE based on resale value concern, let me tell u at 2nd hand car market, it doesn't work that way, if a 2nd hand car dealer unable to find buyers at certain price range, they will definitely lower down the value until it has buyer.
Just go see emas 7 premium one year car selling around RM95-98k at Carro website, most likely the owner selling back around RM85-88k. So just one year car easily depreciate 30%, this QVE even if outwin normal EV car, the depreciation rate will still be around 20% on first year, for example most likely selling back at RM64k (based on RM80k buying price). Buyer also know they have to pay RM297/month for the battery as well.
4. no because you sign away that info already, and it's the car infotainment screen that do it, for ccp car as far as like my car zeekr 7x it's disabled unless you go and enable it
and there's a sim card slot hidden inside that dashboard that's always active with internet plan to do that
