yups...same observation.

Think is the most bang for buck and size in the EV range....I see it more like Vezel than altis.

BYD must be offering quite a good deal for atto3, that's why so many people are buying.

Current Vezel already losing its popularity liao. This atto3 is chasing after altis. The other day saw 3 SNP/SNQ attos turning into the same carpark. Then along the road also keep seeing this atto3.

PM me in July about the location of the EV chargers in your estate that's underutilised. 

I bring KFC & Ya Kun kopi over to your place while waiting for the vehicle to be charged fully.

Quote

The fault relates to issues with the vehicles’ Integrated Charge Control Unit, which controls charging and manages electrical power.

 

The same issue led Hyundai Motor Group to issue a global recall for the affected models, which include around 170,000 Hyundai and Kia EVs in South Korea and around 150,000 in the United States.

 

As reported by the US National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration on March 15, the fault could cause the batteries to stop charging and the vehicle to lose drive power. 

This is similar to the pcb circuit board module that failed on my lexus gs450h causing the hybrid battery to be suboptimally charged resulting in early degradation and requiring both to be replaced under warranty.

Maybe those are the road hoggers u see in the reckless drivers thread... 😂

 

Personally, it irks the hell out of me, remember had to endure 2-3weeks of "limpeh-home" where Borneo had to indent the hybrid battery from Japan, reassured me that it was still "safe to drive".... Left my car for another 3 days to fix... Don't even have a courtesy car to drive...
