At least hybrid la. 2030 is fast approaching.

Those asking you to buy ICE still have their heads in the sand.

at the other extreme are the Teslards who go around justifying how good and value for money their purchase is
All roses and no thorn reviews of their ownership experience

tesla buyer better pray hard dont get into any accident, higher chance totalled the car if nobody dare to repair it...

For now, just go with ICE. Only consider hybrid if you drive a lot.

buy EV over ICE.
Buy a Tesla . you will not regret. future proof
Tesla is doing bi weekly car firmware update. you get continuous features improvement.
after 3 years of usage, you still don't feel the features aging problem.

if you are keen on Tesla, ping me to know more.


EV advantages
1. silky smooth drive resolution.
EV motor drive power delivery is linear in nature whereas ICE combustion power transformation is chemical explosion, exponential .
EV can be driven with very refined slow drive and instant torque with high acceleration.
regardless over EV car power output, it still deliver smooth low end drive.

ICE power delivery is very very complex. uneven torque distribution.


2. range anxiety is over rated.
get both ICE and EV stuck in heavy traffic, the EV will consume much less energy than ICE.
400km range is sufficient for daily drive at city state.


3. software features advantages.
which ICE car gives OTA firmware update.

I will not go back for ICE car for my daily drive.
exception for exotic ICE sport car(non daily use)

I scared all electronic car, difficult to troubleshoot when there is problem!
Batteries very expensive to replace every 3-5 years! In Finland, somebody who owned a Tesla was quoted battery replacement almost the price of a new Tesla! End up he made a video of himself setting his Tesla on fire!

yes those mild hybrid bs are literally ICE cars with the bare minimum EV tech just to fit into the EV/hybrid market/bracket

Ya like suzuki and mazda mild hybrid

Hmm. Not 8-10y warranty? Why need to change 3-5y?

If you go Malaysia often then hybrid.. If those just go jb within 100km I think EVs are good choices.

Malaysia give 0 roadtax for EV until 2025. 2026 onwards the roadtax for EV is less than half the price of petrol car roadtax. Insurance for EV cars in Malaysia also equivalent price to petrol cars


Why Singapore want to push EV but yet impose higher taxes?

Not all EV has 8-10y warranty, some only 3-5y.

I thought it is quite standard? No? Coz I only know 2 brands... Byd and tesla

To recover back the outfront tax discount to encourage EV to meet KPI lor.

Make no sense

 

[elimmel]

rebate one time but road tax every year... same tactic
when rebate ending? will road tax drop?

 

[serverxeon]

Sg want to push for EV over ice, but at the same time sg want to push for car lite.
So it'll never be "cheap to drive".
It gonna at best be "same same"

Frd,8 y on battery in the link. You cannot even read? Haiz...
Do you even own a car?

huh.. what you talking sia. Carbon dioxide pollution and emission regardless pooled or done throughout the island is still carbon dioxide produced....

the only way Singapore can really claim to cut carbon emission by going EV is to go nuclear to produce the electricity, if not carbon produce still goes into the atmosphere and become WOKE's crowd wet dream.

I mean when you drive an EV car, nothing was emitted to the environment unlike ICE ?

Correct ?
