Why you may need to consider buying an EV Car for your next car? |In this era, do you still need to buy a car?

I don’t know if you have noticed that recently, many media including major Youtubers have been discussing the same topic, should I buy an electric car? In fact, I have been thinking about this topic recently, so I can't wait to share my thoughts. I hope these thoughts can serve as some references before you make a decision.

Why you may need to consider buying an EV Car for your next car?

I have always been fascinated by all kinds of technological innovations and research and development, especially after the advent of Tesla, I kept thinking in my heart that I hope I can drive my own electric car in Malaysia one day. It is exciting to think about various high-tech technologies such as cars automatically finding parking spaces, using mobile phones to remotely control electric vehicles, and unlocking mobile phones. Today, I am in Australia, watching countless Teslas shuttle in front of my eyes every day, the feeling of not being able to eat is really not a joke. Finally... finally the wait is here! The good news finally appeared in 2021! The Malaysian government has finally announced relevant policies to promote the development of EV Car pure electric vehicles. The most eye-catching one is that according to the announcement of Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul in the 2022 Budget, the government proposes to provide full exemption for local EV cars in 2022. Import duty (Import Duty), internal tax (Excise Duty) and sales tax (SST), and even the subsequent car road tax (Road Tax) are also exempted, which means that the purchase of EV Car will not pay tax at all, and There is also no road tax. This is equivalent to almost 100% tax-free!

Compared with fuel vehicles of the same level, electric vehicles can save a lot of purchase costs, and the advantages are quite obvious. The most notable ones are the considerations of gasoline costs and maintenance costs, which are basically better than fuel vehicles. In the future, there is no need to worry about the ups and downs of gasoline, and there is no need to consider maintenance issues, because electric vehicles do not need to refuel or change the oil, but only need to replace the tires regularly. Regarding the battery life, all major car manufacturers are currently concerned. The quality of their own cars is full of confidence, and they all give a fairly long warranty period. If you buy a cost-effective car today, for short-distance or intrastate driving, it will definitely overwhelm the fuel car, and judging from the current development speed of electric cars, maybe one day when electric cars are sold, the selling price It will be more competitive than gasoline vehicles!

Do you still need to buy a car in this day and age?

Speaking of this, I believe some people will think in their hearts, in this age, there are a lot of shared cars, and Grab cars are running all over the street. Is it really necessary to buy a car? Wouldn't it be better and smarter to save the money on buying a car and take Grab? Some people may even say that it is better to invest the saved money! 🤔, um, these words are true, indeed if you live close to the city, you can do this in theory, and you have the conditions to do so, I agree very much, but if you live relatively far from the city , and often need to go out, then it is another matter.
Some savvy people may have discovered that the current population structure and number of Malaysia have changed a lot, from 35 million to 32 million. The population of Malaysia is decreasing! So what does this mean? After going through this difficult time, almost all industries have been reshuffled, or the way of working has been upgraded. Except for ordinary grassroots workers, it is not difficult to find that most of the current work forms have changed, and all industries have also changed. In line with the Internet or big data. When the densely populated areas in Malaysia have changed, the business model has changed. In order to maximize profits, bosses no longer need to rent physical offices and hire so many employees, not to mention that the minimum wage is not cheap! The working environment has changed from the original fixed-point office to mobile office (such as business promotion). If you fail to adapt to this change in time, when there are fewer job opportunities, your income will of course be less. If you do not have additional skills, such as the ability to become a freelancer , in order to increase your income, there is a high chance that you will Going to be a Grab driver/delivery driver, then you will need a car to work, right? So the question of whether it is necessary to buy a car depends on your real situation and not on what age 😊

The current price of EV Car pure electric vehicles is too high

I fully agree that the price/performance ratio of pure electric vehicles from general luxury car manufacturers such as BMW is indeed not very high, but it does not mean that there are no cost-effective ones. Taking electric vehicles imported from China as an example, they generally have high performance-to-price ratio. And regarding the issue of the high price, I believe the situation will improve soon. Why do you say that? If you have the topic of tracking electric vehicles, then you will know that EV Car pure electric vehicles have developed rapidly in Indonesia in the past one or two years. The Indonesian government has attracted many car manufacturers to invest in the production of electric vehicles, including Hyundai, Tesla , Panasonic, LG, Honda, why are all the automakers flocking to Indonesia to set up factories? In fact, it is mainly due to commercial considerations, because Indonesia is the world's largest exporter of nickel, and nickel is the most important element in making batteries. Indonesia mainly produces laterite nickel. According to data, Indonesia's laterite nickel storage capacity is 21 million tons , is the number one in the world, and the most important factor in manufacturing pure electric vehicles is the battery, so Tesla has already submitted a letter of intent to invest in the relevant authorities in Indonesia, that is to say, once electric vehicles are mass-produced, the price will definitely increase. decline, not to mention Malaysia, Indonesia, and China are all members of ASEAN RCEP. With the right time, favorable location, and harmonious people, coupled with the fact that a large number of Chinese electric vehicles are exported to Malaysia, the future can be expected!

Does it feel like everything is perfect? But in fact, some key factors need to be solved immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve popularization

Summarize

If you have noticed, you should have found that besides technology, I am most passionate about investment, but I will research and understand all investment-related topics. What really excites me after the popularization of electric vehicles is that your electric vehicle may make money for you in the future. I read an article some time ago, which mentioned this topic. If you are interested, you can read it . I think If the technology is mature enough, the possibility of realizing all this is still very high. At present, Tesla in Malaysia basically has the function of automatic navigation system, but due to the incompleteness of the map of Malaysia and the consideration of safety and other related issues, Tesla has not opened this function for drivers to use now, but with the improvement and development of all aspects, I still have great expectations. Imagine your car making money for you😂, I am excited when I think about it, then Time to invest in an electric car for one more reason!

You may think that I am too optimistic about the development of electric vehicles in Malaysia, but at least the Malaysian government has indeed taken its first step... So in the end I would like to say, is it a suitable time to buy one? As for electric vehicles, I personally think that judging from the current situation, it would be more appropriate to position electric vehicles as a second car (that is, a backup car/city car), as long as the price/performance ratio is high enough, and you just treat it as a general If you have a means of transportation, you can consider buying it. On the contrary, if you bought it for long-distance running, then I think it will take some time.
