i did a quick calculation:

Assuming 20000km a year, petrol @ $2.07 (20% discount), Electricity: $0.25(home charging), $0.45(SP power)

Corolla : 15.6km/L.  gives 1282L of petrol or $2646 in petrol. Roadtax: $742. total: $3388

Leaf: 5.8km/kwh gives 3448kwh. $1551(charge outside) or $862(home charging) + $1260 Roadtax +$700 (tax to normalize with petrol duties)  Total : $3511 (outside) $2822(home)

U forgot to add the time$ spent to squat next to the EV charger plus how much time wasted on fights n arguments w charging hoggers....

Compared to "unker, 95 full tank, autostop can liao, kum sia"

Between the Ionic and i30N, say the N word anytime

Exactly, time and the cost of electricity may soar, so the savings are not as significant.

How about servicing for EVs? 

How long does it take each time and what's the interval between servicing?

Technically w A1 VES, EV got $25k rebate

But......

The way it works here is that AD will probably jack up price by $25k so ownself pocket the rebate and chase COE so that they can register the car and realise the rebate but buyer is the one paying for it

Yeah, go green......! Lol

Petrol prices will soar too with carbon tax coming in hard and fast in 2024.  We barely got started.

I believe the manufacturer and the distributor... 

If they still bring in ICE cars to the market and sell means that they dun believe in EV for the current situation. 😂

Kia Sonet anyone?
😂

 

because charging is a big issue if you do not live in landed, your life become harder so why rush for EV now? wait another 5 years then reevaluate the decision bah 😂unless in between you decided to by a landed. (this is for non landed living personal)

Is a true EV better value than a hybrid?

especially for low mileage drivers?

Neither. Some will say low mileage best value is MRT or Grab.....
