I did feed back on the issue and the agent could not solve it despite saying its normal😀 But any way, its fun driving the European EV. 

The thing I cannot understand about having a mini fridge is the heat it generates will need the aircon to work extra work. Why in the first place put in? 

Is it the mini fridge runs on separate cooling system...just in case...no fish mini fridge for prawn also goode...😅

From a current EV car owner (2 brands), you have to be careful on the charging decay rate. I used to own an European brand and after 1.4 years, the consumption shoot up and reduce the efficiency by 20-30%. However, the handling is good.

Next is an non European brand. Battery is good, handling is so so and problems on parts rattling appear after the 2nd year. IU is horrible. I need to press many times on the screen at times to get to where I want. 

In short, its either you go for driving experience or you go for battery efficiency. 

When new, everything is good. 

 

Do you mind giving a hint on which European EV brand it is?

Shocking to hear 1.4 years the efficiency could degrade by 20-30%. Do you mean battery's State of Health has degraded by 20-30% or your electric consumption has went up by 20-30% in terms of kWh/100km? Something must be wrong with this car, unless you DC fast charge it to 100% every single time you had it for the 1.4 years.
