Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers for Malaysian drivers.
Can I own an EV if I live in a condo or apartment?
Yes, but your economics change. Without home wallbox charging (RM0.25-RM0.57/kWh on TNB), you will rely on commercial AC/DC public chargers (RM1.00-RM1.60/kWh). Our engine models this exact difference.
How does the post-2025 JPJ EV road tax work?
Under JPJ Lampiran B, EV road tax is calculated on electric motor output (kW) in tiers. Compact EVs like the BYD Dolphin pay around RM70/year, while high-performance dual-motor EVs pay significantly higher.
Can an EV handle road trips to Penang, Johor Bahru, or Kuantan?
The North-South Expressway (PLUS) has dense DC fast charging corridors every 60-100 km (Gentari, ChargEV, Shell Recharge). The East Coast (LPT) requires careful planning, which our Destination Engine calculates.
How much will my battery degrade after 8 to 10 years?
Modern LFP and NMC batteries typically retain 75-85% capacity after 10 years and 200,000 km. Most brands offer 8-year / 160,000 km battery warranties guaranteeing at least 70% state of health.
