Expand Your place won't have so much lao lang mah since it's not an old development. Mine got a higher percentage of retirees etc. Theres no chargers nearby actually. Well got 1 but it's at a mixed development's carpark nearby. My place is open air carpark. So bringing wires to the open air side to build charging is not a small project. Need to hack the road etc. The initial proposal in 2023 was not approved due to residents voting it down. Then we changed managing agent etc, got major water leakage from pipes etc. Delay until now haha no sound no picture.

Expand The only reason I can think why one will get Tesla is due to the attractive int rate of 1.68%, as compared to 2.48%. Makes a whole of difference. The delta can be equivalent of the monthly charging cost. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lzs Neutral Newbie Sunday at 12:32 AM Share Sunday at 12:32 AM Hi, I'm looking to get the BYD M6 and while working out numbers to compare, I'm puzzled about the electricity cost to run the M6. The M6 lists 18.7 kWh per 100km. Considering charging cost ranging from $0.60 to $0.75 per kWh, this means the M6 electricity cost is about $0.112 to $0.14 per km. I'm also looking at hybrids such as the Honda Stepwagon Spada, which claims 19.6 km/l. Assuming Shell 95 with usual discounts, currently $2.41 per l, this means the cost is about $0.123 per km. Of course I understand real world driving conditions might be different, but I'll just take at face value the published numbers for this comparison. I am surprised a large hybrid (the Stepwagon has a 2.0l engine) can be in the same league as a full electric vehicle. I hope I didn't somehow mess up my math. 🙂 Any thoughts on this? Is the M6 perhaps not so efficient? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
