Was waiting for grab this morning and a BYD EV came. the ride was smooth and comfortable. The abang driver was friendly and said "sis, this car save a lot of my money" . he was comparing the cost of electric charging vs petrol.

when the traffic light turns green, we were the first car to take off before a golf gti overtook us at the flyover ,due to speed limit, where the grab driver slows down .

have EV change your life too?

I'm still stuck with ice car after changing the engine oil, transmission oil and air filter the car suddenly felt so much lighter and so much more responsive.

IMHO.
Getting a "Hybrid", my lifestyle improved. My hybrid calculated range is over 1000 km per full tank. I have more time now as I go to the petrol station less often as each tank can last 12-14 days. It saves me money too as my last tank of petrol cost lesser per km than a typical EV and I pay lesser road tax and insurance.

When the traffic lights turns green, I often see typical PHV BYDs take off quickly but I just smile to myself as my hybrid sprint is faster than most of them. I just help the world as speeding is not eco-friendly.

Every time I drive to work, I can look at the fuel consumption - it is usually around a litre and I would compare with the over $25 dollars if I would have taken Grab.

$5k road tax vs $2k road tax, difference $30k for 10 years, usually drive 5 yrs before changing, so $15k

Perf EV around $250k vs Per conti ICE around $500k......what is the $15k difference......
