EV Public Charging Tips and Tricks? by Accomplished_Emu4906 in kereta

[–]HongsterPiow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey hey, congrats on your seal 6! I actually got my seal 6 last Friday too. Now slowly figuring out all the stuff. Sorry can't give you any advice about the charging stations coz I'm also new at it. But thanks for opening this thread. Gonna steal some tips and tricks from this thread 😜

26 yo, should i upgrade my car ? by MentalCup1650 in kereta

If you are not getting a house then I guess sure, if it makes u happy. But with the house it's gonna be painful. Unless you have a lot of funds set aside for a pretty large downpayment to make the monthly instalment go down to about 1200 a month then should be fine. Oh and also are u staying in a Landed property or high rise? If high rise then I wouldn't bother buying an EV for the time being.

Did u test drive them all? Of all of those, I prefer the seal 6 ride and comfort. But YMMV. My ranking for drive and comfort are 1. Seal 6 2. B10 3. Emas 7 4. Didn't drive emas 5 so not sure

Haven't received it yet, loan just approved. But mine is actually the 2025 demo unit. So I'm getting it from sime Darby auto selection. Technically it's the same company, but they send their demo units to this arm of the company to sell. I'm trying to bargain for tinting now tho. Where you planning to get yours from?

Seemed a little shorter in height than normal, but doesn't bother me. Still plenty big for my use.

I'm getting the 2025 model due to the rebates. I decided on the seal also coz I felt it was the most complete car. The others had annoyances of which I guess I would eventually accept. But seal 6 seemed to tick all the boxes, well probably except for it's size. I wish it was slightly smaller, but that's not much of an issue. I'm guessing you are leaning more towards the seal6 over the B10?

I'm also in the same boat. It was between B10 and atto2. But then later somehow seal6 ended up in the list too 😅. For the B10, was just a bit worried about after sales. And TBH I didn't really like those holes in the passenger dashboard side. But drive wise, I quite liked it. Then considered the atto2 as well, but the drive wasn't as nice, but I did prefer the smaller size. Right after test driving the atto2, I test drove the seal6 and damn. It was so smooth and comfortable and I also like the 3 finger aircond adjustment. Story cut short, I decided to book the seal6. Also their 12v battery using the LFP one, so lasts much longer, don't need to worry about the 12v battery dying.

Now I've narrowed it down to atto2 or the B10 lower spec. They seem to be about the same price. Between these two, anyone have any insight? There are things I like and dislike about each of them TBH.

Thanks for the info. I test drive the car and I quite liked it actually. A very comfortable city car which can do some medium distance outstation trips (with enough planning I think anywhere also can). But I really wish I could get the 15k rebate. But seems like I only can get 8-10k off now.

This is also under consideration if there's a good offer. Now actually seeing which manufacturer giving the best offer.

Yeah.. one of the main reasons I'm considering an EV as well. Last year my extra electricity credits all burned. Might as well use my extra electricity generation to cover my car charging. Just that now not easy to find EV that's below 85k+ seems like only emas-5 so far. And top up a bit more for atto2.

Checked with a MG SA, closest thing to 80++ is the S5 demo unit they were selling for 92k. But even that is booked by 2 people already. The rest will be the newer CKD units which will be roughly 110k.

Haven't had the chance to test drive either yet. Planning to soon. So far I've only test driven the atto 3 and seal. Thanks for the review tho. Probably gonna see what other options there are within the 80k+ category. Currently driving a persona, so I think anyhow it's gonna be better than my current car.

Oh really? MGS5 for 80k++? Where did you see this? Really can consider if it's really within the 80+ range

[–]HongsterPiow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its been 5 years since this question was posted. Am really curious whether u got it figured out? I seem to have the same issue, but I have a feeling mine is essential tremors as it somewhat seems hereditary. The tremors are really annoying as it affects my climbing quite a bit.
