I presume 1.8k using 130L of petrol which is about $255.

EV Conumption is thereabout 1/3 of petrol? 

A bit optimistic (130L for 1.8k km).

160L sounds more reasonable.

EV consumption could be less than 1/3 of petrol.

Assuming one drives a hybrid that can go 23km/l, petrol cost will be about 150 or so.

Seems like a better option as lump sum tax for EVs will be high I.e. 700 from 2023 and future unknown, once honeymoon is over. N also tariffs may also rise. 

A hybrid may only need about 3 refuels to get to 1800km and less than 5 mins total of refueling time. 

For 2022, MG ZS road tax is $1,231

For 2023, it will be $1,731.

============================

Assuming hybrid car is Toyota Prius which has road tax of $974.

For 2022, it takes 4 months to even out the extra road road.

For 2023, it takes 12 to even out the extra road tax.

How about NIssan, Renault and Hyundai EV?

Saw on TV...Japan is going solar EV city route...homes are allowed to use EV as storage to power up the house...

Some installation companies even install panels foc for homeowners and resell excess power to utility companies

based on the last news about charger installation - i remember the G is building 60,000 charger - 40,000 public and 20,000 private chargers by 2030 to cater to the mass users...

do you think this is sufficient?

sorry if this have been discussed in the earlier tread...apologies.

was thinking to change to EV but this is really a discourage currently...….but I feel 60,000 is insufficient too by 2030....if we have close to a 1 mil vehicles on the road. does it mean 2030 car numbers will shrink and 60,000 is sufficient to support these cars in the year 2030?

Assuming 1 charger can service 2 cars a day (really low number) and each car needs to recharge fully once every 5 days, 60000 chargers can support 600k cars. 

Less if cars charged more often, but private landed homes can also have their own chargers.

When I asked the dealer why, they said they wanted to keep cost down.
In overseas Facebook groups, there have been some complaints of the car auto-braking suddenly when there is no obstacle in front. So it might not be a big miss…

@inlinesix Hyundai EVs has those active safety distance, Ioniq and Kona. I dont think we have any Nissan and Renault EV in the local market.

No doubt about it that Toyota has more experience than Honda in Petrol/electric car technologies and experience.

 

Toyota makes Full hybrid vehicles and most flag ship models will have a hydrid option, while currently, Honda has been is making Assisted hybrid vehicles, in a few models.

 

Some hybrid models from other car mfr also uses Toyota's hybrid parts and technologies.

 

The early generation hybrid vehicles from toyota were also encountered with battery temperature problems. They were placed under floorboard, with no ventilations.

 

Currently, Toyota installed battery packs inside car cabin where it is cooler. The best location is between the 2 front seats, and that it is connected to the car's aircon return ducts. Second option will be below rear seat. Cooler fans help cool battery packs.

 

 

When buying electric cars,

 

2 power options are the best.

 

I will not buy a full electric car and no way I am going to wait up to 30mins for charging.

Thanks for the suggestion

During high electricity load (like going up Genting), E power will go into limp mode.

The battery is too small.

The best is PHEV.
