Lethalstrike Turbocharged January 4 Share January 4 On 1/2/2025 at 4:39 PM, serenade said: When EV reaches 10 years old, whether to renew COE depends largely on battery condition, cost of a new battery, whether still have stock of battery. And most importantly (to me), is whether the brand is still in existence with plentiful spares. Looking at the large number of China EV only brands today, I am quite skeptical whether all will still be in business 10 years from now.. You're actually right with your concern on whether these Chinese EV brands will still be in business in the next decade. As of today, even with heavy subsidies from the CCP, only BYD, Li Auto and Huawei (Luxeed, Aito) are profitable in the midst of cut throat competition within China. The rest like Zeekr, Xpeng, Xiaomi, Nio etc are still bleeding. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest like Zeekr, Xpeng, Xiaomi, Nio etc are still bleeding. Of even greater concern, is how many of the local agents will still be around after 5 years to supply spares and do repairs? The ICE model, there was good post sales revenue stream from servicing, plug change, oil filter change, gearbox fluid etc and changing of worn engine parts. With EV, the servicing revenue will be from chassis items, cooling systems. Can these bring in enough revenue to sustain a business where rents are high? Once the initial euphoria of going EV is over or COE supply is cut, can sales alone support so many players. Not referring to C&C, PM and the dealers who have a large number of ICE cars sold over the years who can still sustain their workshop operations. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkl22 Supersonic January 4 Share January 4 Hence there will be a useless check list of items that need to be inspected periodically to maintain your warranty. no different to our additional tax to recover petrol duties. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atonchia Supersonic January 5 Share January 5 I was looking at ARF value of China EV.... It's like almost nothing if deregister towards end of COE. Even German make also very low. So basically the future of SG car population will have no renewed COE car, as no one will buy a high COE and risk changing a new battery ( possibly no replacement too) or even increase fire risk. Basically car repair workshop can close shop soon. Maybe spray paint and tyre and Aircon shop still can survive. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your conclusion is not right leh - with most nothing PARF, the 10 year old EV can be renewed for only the COE premium. Any time battery big problem, just scrap and take back COE. So the future will be full of renewed low powered (thus low road tax) EVs. BUT..... the gahmen sure will impose some hefty additional road tax on renewed EVs to make the system "fairer" to force them to scrap (and collect new ARF).

Additional road tax of $700 will be a big hindrance for COE car ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
