For some parts of the Klang Valley, electric vehicles are part of the scenery these days. You might have friends talking about it, EVs are mentioned in the media, and if you’re a follower of this website, you’d have noticed that brands are all rushing to offer electric vehicles that are, for now, duty-free. And because of the latter, EVs look like great value next to their petrol-powered counterparts.
Of the current EVs on sale in Malaysia, the lowest real-world range is below 200 km. That’s barely enough for a weekend of food hunting and shopping, never mind going outstation. You’ll spend less time worrying about charging when you’re in the EQA 250, which has a range of 496 km on the WLTP cycle. Meanwhile, the EQS 500 has a range of nearly 700 km, which makes interstate travel a luxurious, anxiety-free affair.
Yes, we could do with more DC fast chargers, especially outside the Klang Valley, but the big players are expanding their networks it as we speak. In any case, if you have access to home charging, ‘refuelling’ is as easy as charging your phone, and you have to do so just once every few days – surely that beats going to a petrol station, no?
The final point is especially relevant when it comes to EVs. In contrast with the mature ICE, EV and battery tech is still developing at a fast rate, and what’s cutting edge now will most probably be superseded in a few years time. Purchasing an EV outright means you’ll have to live with the risk of obsoletion. This, and the lower monthly repayments/increased affordability, are the Drive Electric Plan by Agility+ features that perfectly match EV ownership today.
