According to online sources, if below 70% health or issues with battery not due to user problem, perodua will change FOC as many times as needed within 9 years. If accident, insurance will cover the cost of repair or replacement.
If after leasing period ends after 9 years, no need to change or renew leasing or pay. But battery remains with Perodua ownership. If want to change battery, sign a new 9 year lease.
This scheme is stupid.
These are LFP batteries from CATL... They dare to give FOC because got certain guarantee that only very small % of the battery will have manufacturing defects. It is basically a back to back with CATL. Many other car vendors just put this in their battery warranty but cap it either with mileage or age which ever comes first.If after leasing period ends after 9 years, no need to change or renew leasing or pay. But battery remains with Perodua ownership. If want to change battery, sign a new 9 year lease.

I bet they already have the battery cost covered by at least 50% in the 80k price tag... U see how Emas5 pricing and u can make a guess already. Also Perodua is making the battery lease mandatory so u are forced to lease it for 9 years... Why because battery will likely have degradation after the 10 year but still be under 80% health means can be recycled for solar battery storage in the future.
So after 9 years got no issue. Battery is already paid. U want to change it u can just pay and Perodua will take the used battery and recycle somewhere else since will likely still have at least 70% - 80% health after 9 years. Win Win for them.
I will laugh when less then 3% sold have battery issues. This is same discussion when laptop had NiCad batteries then moved to NiMh and to LiPolymer batteries.
