An electric car is simply a four-wheel vehicle that runs on electric energy. In electric cars, electric energy is used to carry out mechanical operations.

Unlike conventional vehicles, they don’t require any internal combustion engine to operate. Hence, any kind of hydrocarbon fuel is not needed by electric cars.

Due to the absence of an IC engine, it doesn’t produce any harmful emissions. This is why electric vehicles are also known as green vehicles and considered better for the environment.

Since there is no engine, there are other components that altogether give life to an electric vehicle.

MALAYSIA targets to have 100,000 electric vehicles (EVs) on the road by 2030, with a significant portion being commercial EVs such as buses and trucks.

However, the question remains as to whether Malaysia is ready for the adoption of commercial EVs.

According to fleet expert Nazirul Aiman Munir from the Malaysia Bus Trucker Mobility Movement, the country has a conducive environment for EVs.

“With the abundance of renewable energy sources and favourable government policies, we believe that Malaysia is ready to adopt commercial EVs,” he said to The Malaysian Reserve (TMR).

Moreover, he said Malaysia has a strong local automotive industry that could play a vital role in supporting the development and adoption of commercial EVs.

“Malaysia has the capability to develop an EV ecosystem with its existing automotive industry.

“We have the talent and expertise to produce electric buses, trucks and other commercial EVs that are customised to suit our local needs,” he added.

Despite its readiness, Malaysia is still facing several challenges in the adoption of commercial EVs, especially in terms of infrastructure.

BEV: Battery electric vehicle.

Kilowatt (kW): The unit of measure for power level. In BEV terms, it is the level of power at which your vehicle can charge.

Kilowatt hour (kWh): The unit of measure for energy storage. It indicates the capacity of the battery.

Volt: The electrical potential or performance of the electrical system, which ultimately influences the charging speed. Like water running through a hose, the higher the volts the greater the pressure, the faster the charge.

Ampere or Amp: The unit of electrical current, meaning how much energy travels through a circuit. Keeping with the hose analogy, then amps is the diameter of the hose.

Amp x Volts = Power 40 amps x 240 volts = 9,600 watts or 9.6kW

State of Charge (SoC): The term used to show how charged the battery is in percent.

ICE - Internal Combustion Engine

The global plug-in electric vehicle market has seen similar growth to the battery-electric vehicle market. However, figures are notably higher.

In 2021, over 6 million plug-in electric vehicles were sold across the globe - more than double 2020’s total.

https://explodingtopics.com/blog/ev-stats

# data[].attributes.body
In 2012, there were fewer than 200,000 electric vehicles in use across the world.

By 2017, this figure grew to over 3 million. And according to the latest data, over 10 million electrical vehicles are in use around the globe.

Both battery electric vehicles (406x increase) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (8304x increase) have grown dramatically since 2010.

We see two main trends: first, electric vehicles are gaining traction all around the globe. Second, their costs are decreasing rapidly. This means that electric cars could reach mass production within a decade or so. Even today, electric vehicles represent a significant market share among luxury cars. If these trends continue, we may see a day when electric cars account for 30% of global sales.

Which is the lowest price of Electric Vehicle(EV) cars in Malaysia?

# data[].attributes.body
The cheapest Electric Vehicle(EV) cars in Malaysia are Neta V priced at RM 99,800

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Neta has officially made its debut in Malaysia, and the first model being offered here is the Neta V. Distribution of Neta cars is handled by Intro Synergy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GoAuto Group which signed a deal with Hozon New Energy Auto.

Priced at RM99,800 on-the-road without insurance, the Neta V Deluxe is now the cheapest EV in our market. As part of a special promotion, the first 100 customers who make a booking online will receive a cash voucher worth RM10,000 to further reduce the price down to RM89,800! According to Intro Synergy, deliveries will begin in the third quarter of this year. If you want one, you can book it online now for RM1,000.

For the money, you’re getting a CATL-sourced ternary lithium battery with an energy capacity of 38.54 kWh that is good for a range of 380 km following the NEDC standard. The Neta V supports AC charging (Type 2) at a max of 6.6 kW, with a full charge taking eight hours.

It can also do DC fast charging (CCS2) at 100 kW to get the battery from a 30-80% state of charge in just 30 minutes. Users can also use the crossover to power accessories and electronic devices via the vehicle-to-load (V2L) system capable of delivering as much as 3.3 kW.

11 Hidden Costs of Owning an Electric Car

# data[].attributes.subject
11 Hidden Costs of Owning an Electric Car

# data[].attributes.body
If you think the electric car revolution means cost-free driving, think again. EVs come with a financial sting in their tail.

1. Higher Purchase Price
Another factor contributing to electric cars’ higher price is the cost of rare earth minerals (lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and graphite) used to manufacture EV batteries, most of which come from outside of the United States. Cobalt is perhaps less essential to EV batteries than the other minerals, and the U.S. government aims to eliminate cobalt from electric car batteries by 2030. Some car manufacturers are embracing cobalt-free batteries, which could eventually bring down the cost of electric vehicles. Until electric vehicles become more popular, expect a little sticker shock when comparing their prices to traditional vehicles.

2. Registration Fees
Gas taxes, applied at the pump in some states when filling up a gas-powered vehicle, are used to help pay for road repairs. As electric vehicles don’t use gas, states apply an additional registration fee of around $50 to $200 to EVs. Currently, Georgia has some of the highest EV fees, but check this full list of states and electric car registration fees for more info.

3. Insurance Premiums
Most car insurance companies charge higher rates for electric cars because they’re more expensive to repair and replace, and fewer repair shops have EV-trained staff. Because of this, expect to pay 5 to 20 percent more for electric car insurance than you would for a gas-powered car.

4. Road Charging
While there’s no doubt that the cost to charge an electric car is cheaper than paying for gas, your actual savings will be considerably lower if you charge on the road as opposed to at home. Public charging facilities differ markedly in pricing, with some demanding payment for minutes spent charging and others going by the kWh of electricity used. While DC fast chargers can add 100 miles of range in 10 minutes, they are also the most expensive public charging option. However, convenience and the time spent charging a vehicle are factors to consider, too.

5. Home Charging
Although it’s the cheapest charging method by far, charging an electric car at home also has its drawbacks. It’s probably cheaper to charge an EV with a Level 1 charger using a standard 120-volt outlet, but this option isn’t practical if you drive your car daily since this type of charging can take 24 to 36 hours (or longer in cold climates). This means daily commuters need to have a more expensive Level 2 electric car charger professionally installed for convenient overnight charging.

6. Battery Replacement
Unlike a standard car battery, an electric vehicle battery is not cheap. They’re good for 100,000 miles but come with a hefty price tag of $10,000 to $20,000, so expect to reinvest some of your gas savings into purchasing a new battery down the line. EV battery technology is anticipated to improve over the next few years—and their prices will likely come down—but if you intend to rack up the miles, it’s worth factoring in how you’ll pay for a new battery.

Some conditions can cause faster electric car battery degradation. For example, using super-fast DC charging degrades battery life. Manufacturer Kia notes that fast charging causes 10 percent in battery life degradation over a period of eight years.

7. Depreciation
Most people know that the moment you drive a new car off the lot, it loses value. That loss is amplified when it comes to electric cars. The reasons for EV depreciation are manifold:

New electric cars come with a $7,500 tax credit (which comes with certain restrictions). Once that tax credit is voided, a car’s value can plummet by as much as 60 percent when a three-year lease expires, for example.

EVs lose up to 20 percent of their maximum range after five years.

Electric car technology is still new and evolving fast. Like the latest smartphone versus a three-year-old model, newer EV models will be far more attractive to shoppers than older ones, especially as battery technology improves.

8. Range Loss
“Range” and “loss” are not two words people with reservations about buying electric cars generally want to see together, but it’s a reality of battery-powered travel. As stated above, EV batteries degrade over time, so as your car ages, expect a fully charged battery to take you a shorter distance than it once did.

Additionally, cold weather affects EV battery performance. A AAA study quantified temperature-related EV range loss to be as much as 12 percent at 20 degrees Fahrenheit compared to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

9. Repair Bills
With fewer mechanics trained to service electric cars and fewer parts available, electric car maintenance costs are likely to be considerably higher than the upkeep costs of most gas-powered cars.

A recent analysis of insurance claims by CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc. revealed that owners of luxury-brand mid-size electric SUVs could expect to pay more than 50 percent more for repairs than they would for gas vehicles. However, those costs are expected to come down over time.

10. Charging Time
For many people who rely on their cars to get to and from work, time spent charging is less time spent working. When time is money, and overnight charging doesn’t suffice, spending minutes or hours juicing up your vehicle can put a big dent in productivity.

Insufficient Charging Stations, Other Related Infrastructure

The lack of charging stations for large vehicles and other related infrastructures remain a significant hurdle to the widespread adoption of EVs, particularly in rural areas.

Kolej Poly-Tech Mara Bangi vehicle technology lecturer Dr Sulaiman Mohd said the EV infrastructure the country currently has is still not enough to cater to the growing demand for EVs.

To address this issue, the government has taken several initiatives to promote the development of EV infrastructure in the country.

This includes offering tax incentives for companies that invest in EV charging stations and has set a target to install 125,000 charging stations nationwide by 2030.

In addition to infrastructure, the cost of EVs and the limited awareness of the benefits of EVs among Malaysians are other challenges that need to be addressed.

“We need to educate businesses on the benefits of EVs, such as lower operating costs and environmental benefits.

“We also need to make EVs more affordable and accessible to everyone,” said Sulaiman.

Nevertheless, despite the challenges, Malaysia is making progress in the adoption of commercial EVs.

Technology consulting company Arthur D Little Singapore engagement manager Akshay Prasad shared insights on Malaysia’s readiness and plans for EV charging infrastructure.

“As of January 2023, Malaysia has approximately 900 charging points, catering to around 10,000 registered EVs,” he said, adding that Malaysia is expected to provide up to 4,000 EV charging points this year.

However, he noted that the majority of these charging points are alternating current (AC) chargers, which have limited charging speed.

This poses a challenge for commercial EVs that travel long distances, even interstate, on tight schedules.

Of the 4,000 target charging points, Akshay said around 10% will be dedicated to direct current charging, which is faster with a power of at least 50 kilowatts, while the remaining 90% will be AC chargers.

“These plans are part of Malaysia’s effort to transition towards cleaner and greener transportation options,” he said.

However, Akshay also highlighted that the country has a long way to go in terms of providing sufficient charging infrastructure to support the growing EV market.

For propulsion, the Neta V sports a front-mounted electric motor rated at 95 PS (94 hp or 70 kW) and 150 Nm of torque. The carmaker quotes a 0-50 km/h time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 120 km/h with these modest outputs.

In terms of dimensions, the Neta V measures 4,070 mm long, 1,690 mm wide, 1,540 mm tall and has a wheelbase spanning 2,420 mm. For context, the Perodua Myvi is 3,895 mm long, 1,735 mm wide, 1,515 mm tall and its wheelbase is 2,500 mm. The protruding rear end of the Neta V also means you get 335 litres of boot space.

The Neta V is only offered in one variant that comes standard with 16-inch alloys (with 185/55 profile tyres), automatic halogen projector headlamps, LED DRLs, LED taillights, keyless entry and start, leatherette seat upholstery, a 12-inch digital instrument panel, automatic air-conditioning with a HEPA N95 air filter, an electronic parking brake and a reverse camera.

Infotainment is accessed via a 14.6-inch central touchscreen, with audio playback handled by a six-speaker sound system. Users will also be able to project their phone screen to the large, portrait-format screen should they wish. For added convenience, there’s a dedicated USB port at the bottom of the rear-view mirror to power a dashcam.

# data[].attributes.body
Safety-wise, the Neta V only comes with two airbags and the usual array of passive systems such as ABS, EBD, brake assist, traction control and ESC. You don’t get active driver assistance systems such autonomous emergency braking and lane keep assist, but you do get hill start assist, a tyre pressure monitor and passive cruise control.

Five colours are offered, namely Sakura Pink, White Storm, Sky Blue, Cyan and Midnight Gray. Each purchase is accompanied by a 10-year body warranty as well as a five-year, 150,000-km general parts warranty. As for the electric powertrain, it is covered by an eight-year, 180,000-km warranty. Remember, if you want the RM10,000 discount you have to be the first 100 to book it. You can book it online now for RM1,000.

Potential Solutions to EV Woes

In addition to traditional charging stations, battery swapping is another potential solution.

Battery swapping involves recharging the EV by providing the EV owner with a new battery each time they visit a battery swapping station.

This method has its advantages and disadvantages, but one significant advantage is that it can bring down the cost of purchasing an EV since the battery is removed from the purchase cost.

Malaysia’s low cost of electricity also makes it attractive for battery-swapping station operators to consider this opportunity.

However, purchasing EVs can be expensive and may not be accessible for fleet operators, despite the government’s efforts to promote EV adoption in Malaysia.

One potential solution is to consider EV conversion services, which convert an existing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle into an EV by removing the powertrain and replacing it with a battery, motor, controller and battery management system.

Such EV conversion services can provide a “converted EV” for half the price of a new EV purchase.

Various reputable vendors are available globally, regionally and locally, with Bosch being one of the most prominent.

While concerns exist about the overall quality of the “converted vehicle”, governments can play a more proactive role in setting minimum quality standards for power, range and warranty, among others.

“EV conversion services are still not allowed in Malaysia, but policymakers and thought leaders are open to having an open discussion on the matter and possibly implementing it in the future.

“In countries like the US, France and India, EV conversion services are already being used. In SouthEast Asia, Indonesia has allowed it for two-wheelers and also offers incentives,” Akshay said.

Driving The Commercial EVs Adoption

Here, Volvo Trucks Malaysia is set to drive the adoption of commercial EVs by launching the country’s first electric prime mover in the third quarter of this year (3Q23).

Alongside this move, it will also introduce the Volvo Euro 5 Prime Mover, which meets international emission requirements, offers better fuel economy, and promotes a cleaner fleet by mid-2023.

According to Volvo Trucks MD Anthony O’Connell, this effort marks the beginning of a sustainable future for the commercial vehicle sector and the country’s mission towards carbon neutrality by 2050.

To support the Malaysian market’s green transition, the company is strengthening its EV trucks ecosystem while working with partners to develop a heavy-duty truck safety programme, promote green logistics through EV adoption and explore potential charging networks.

Furthermore, Volvo Trucks is leveraging its network of 13 dealerships across Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia to expand its supply chain, which is gradually recovering from the past year’s challenges.

The company aims to continue introducing sustainable trucks in Malaysia and develop its talent and facilities to meet market needs.

“The main mission is to continue introducing sustainable trucks in the Malaysian market while helping the nation achieve carbon neutrality by 2050,” O’Connell said.

Meanwhile, one of the companies leading the way in the Malaysian EV fleet industry is Grab Holdings Inc, which operates across South-East Asia.

In 2021, Grab announced its plans to launch a fleet of 200 EVs in Malaysia, starting with 100 units of the Hyundai Ioniq Electric and 100 units of the Proton X70.
