Done — I ran the numbers and produced a baseline summary plus a sensitivity table (electricity × petrol prices). I uploaded the baseline table for you to view. Below I’ll explain the assumptions again, highlight the key results, and give interpretation + recommendations.

Assumptions (short)

Distance: 60 km/day → 21,900 km/year.

QV-E price: RM 80,000 (vehicle body; battery leased separately).

X50 price (comparable variant): RM 89,800 (OTR).

Loan: 9 years, 3.5% p.a., 10% down payment for both cars.

QV-E battery lease: RM 275 / month (RM 3,300/yr).

EV efficiency: 15 kWh / 100 km.

X50 fuel: 6.5 L / 100 km.

Baseline electricity: RM 0.50 / kWh.

Baseline petrol: RM 1.99 / L (you supplied).

EV maintenance saving assumed: RM 600/yr (reduces EV running cost).


Key baseline numbers (from the generated table)

Monthly loan payment (9y, 3.5%)

QV-E: RM 921.01 / month

Proton X50: RM 1,197.87 / month


Annual running cost (energy/fuel + battery lease)

QV-E: RM 4,942.50 / year (energy + battery lease − maintenance saving)

X50: RM 2,832.77 / year (fuel only)


Total yearly cost (loan + running)

QV-E: RM 15,052.62 / year

X50: RM 15,748.51 / year


Total cost over 5 years (includes down payment)

QV-E: RM 76,400.53

X50: RM 75,551.14

Delta (EV − Petrol, 5yr): RM +849.39 (EV is ~RM850 more expensive over 5 years)


Total cost over 10 years

QV-E: RM 144,801.06

X50: RM 142,122.28

Delta (EV − Petrol, 10yr): RM +2,678.78 (EV is ~RM2.7k more expensive over 10 years)



> Note: those totals include down payment and loan payments for each year counted (they do not attempt to model resale value).



Sensitivity table (highlights)

I computed totals for petrol prices = RM 1.99 / 2.60 / 3.20 and electricity = RM 0.40 / 0.50 / 0.60 /kWh. A few notable cells:

If petrol = RM1.99/L and electricity = RM0.40/kWh, QV-E is slightly cheaper over 5 years (EV 5yr RM74,758 vs X50 5yr RM75,551 → EV is RM793 cheaper).

With the current baseline electricity RM0.50/kWh & petrol RM1.99/L, EV is ~RM850 more expensive over 5 years (as shown above).

If petrol rises (no subsidy) to RM 2.60/L or RM 3.20/L, the EV becomes clearly cheaper over both 5- and 10-year horizons across the electricity values used.


Interpretation & notes

Although the QV-E has a lower monthly loan (car price RM80k vs X50 RM89.8k), the battery lease (RM275/mth) is the big recurring cost that narrows EV’s advantage.

With the current subsidised petrol RM1.99/L, the two cars are very close on a total-cost basis — within +/- a few thousand ringgit over 5–10 years. In my baseline, the X50 is slightly cheaper over 5 and 10 years by under RM3k (10-year).

If petrol subsidies are removed (petrol > ~RM2.60/L) or if you charge at lower electricity rates (e.g., RM0.40/kWh), QV-E becomes the cheaper option over time.

I did not include resale values, differences in insurance, road tax, or detailed maintenance schedules (these can move the result). EV resale with battery-lease models can be more complex.


Next steps — what I can do for you now

Add resale value assumptions (e.g., projected 5yr residual values) to get net ownership cost.

Include insurance + road tax + scheduled maintenance costs explicitly.

Produce a break-even petrol price (for given electricity price) where EV and petrol total cost equal — I can calculate that precisely.

Export the full sensitivity grid or a downloadable CSV/XLSX.


Which of those would you like me to do next?

You sure this is not AD?

ITU ChatGPT give you answer that benefits their sponsored advertisement

why count until so complicated?

Perodua QV-E is a RM110k car with 9 years battery warranty

-end-

Your chatgpt forgot you need to buy a spare X50

Chatgpt: Any ICE car is better than EV...

ohwaiiii

lol you sure 6.5l per 100km for x50?

one ktard that always cry about his x50 here makes me think nope
