Hello everybody, this is me, I'm in and that's Rory and this is a special edition of Let's Talk About. Because in this edition of Let's Talk About, we're going to talk about what it's like to live with an EV vehicle in Malaysia. So Rory has been reviewing or have been driving the Hyundai Kona EV Max, right, the Max version? The EV Max, yes. And he has clocked in about 1000 kilometers on the Hyundai.
And we've been talking about EVs in Soshinja for a couple of episodes already. So the first thing is about whether the government is providing enough of an incentive of a framework to allow for the mass adoption of EV vehicles in the country. And then the next one is we talked about what EV vehicle, what is the best EV vehicle to get in Malaysia because right after the announcement, we see a deluge of EV vehicles coming into the country.
So we have previously, electric vehicles was meant for people who are rich and who can afford two or three other vehicles. So they use the EV vehicle when they feel like they want to show off. We're not sure about these.
Yeah, we're not sure about these. You know, they want to show like I'm trying to keep them on my patrol. Yeah. Like I'm trying to save the environment here. But now we see that, you know, you can get a full electric vehicle for the price of a normal car. So about like, you know, within the 160 range, all the way to about 700, 800,000 ringgit, you can get an EV. So there's a massive selection.
And previously, electric vehicles had this problem with range. But now the modern electric vehicles that you get in Malaysia have at least about 300 kilometers on a single charge. On top of that, we also see an increase or, you know, we see more and more charging stations around.
Now the question is, what is it like, what do you need to transition from a petrol car or internal combustion engine car to a electric vehicle? Because people don't have the, I mean, almost everybody, like majority people don't have the context of like, okay, I know if I need, if I'm buying a car today, I don't even think about a petrol station. I don't even think about like, okay, if I want to drive to Penang, I don't even think about like, okay, where should I stop? It's like, oh, I need to stop for petrol. I just stopped for petrol. Yeah. And people don't know that the experience of owning an EV is not the same. We talked about, you know, this just before we started this show, and you mentioned that there's like a spectrum, right?
Yeah. Of people who are like, okay, you know, it's going to be fine. I'm going to get like a Tesla or a car that has 400 kilo meter range. Yeah. And it's going to be fine because I'm just going to use it on a tower. And then there's going to be the other end of the spectrum is like, oh no, where do I charge? What do I do? Yeah. It's like, oh, it's impossible to charge, right? Yeah. Because you have the two, the two, the two mindsets is one is like, it's not a, it's not a big deal. Yes. You know, I'll plug in at home. Yes. I'll go to the office and plug in. Whereas the other one is like, oh, it's impossible. Oh, there's no enough charges. Yes. But through our experience, I think the truth.
It's like somewhere in the middle. It is in the middle. Yeah. And then it is in the middle and then at the front and at the back. Like it is, it, I mean, it's like a, it's like a superposition where it's not here, not there, not in the middle because when you talk about charging, when you talk about charging, people think like it's charging a phone. Ah. Okay. So it's, it's more like changing a phone where it's either a USB C or lightning because it's only Android and iPhone, right? Right.
I think owning a electrical vehicle and people think that, oh, you know, I just, it's the same plug point everywhere. I'll get the same power. That's, you know, different in terms of the charger, cable and whatever. Right. But I think owning an electrical vehicle in terms of the charging experience is like owning a laptop. A bit. Because you have, you have to contend with different standards. Yeah. Yes.
Different heads. And a lot of people don't know that. Yeah. I think you make a very good point in, in, in that, like you said, like people are seeing a lot of charges come out, right? And then, um, it's like, Oh, yeah, maybe I could make this transition, right? Like the, the shopping mall I go to has a charger. I, I can plug in at home. I've got a trip in plug at home. Yes. But then what, uh, people might not realize and what I didn't realize at first, even though I'm sort of like, I have been keeping up with the EVs, uh, through Alex and, and through the other people at, at certain chart, right? But I didn't realize it's just how different all the charging stations are. And if you want to make the transition into full EV, not, not P have plug in hybrid with battery engine, uh, nonsense, if you want to go full electric, yeah, there is like a minimum that you need to, to have.
So, and, and by minimum, I mean, like the speed of the charging has to be a minimum. And that minimum for me, in my experience was about 20, you need to find like a 20 to kilowatt charger. Okay. Before we go into the full on like technicality of this, like 22 kilowatt. Okay. Okay. And, and, and whatever, all the different basically the point is not all chargers are the same. Yeah. Right. It's like petrol station, you pull in petrol, you pull in, uh, you don't have to be shared with different, uh, nozzles. Yeah. Uh, you just need to choose, you just need to choose 95, 97, 100. Yeah. Diesel. So as long as you don't put diesel in, you can even mix the rest. Right. So, again, we call mix octane fuel. Yes. Uh, and okay. So don't do that. Okay.
So tell me about this, this experience. You, we, we went on a road trip, uh, from Kuala Lumpur, all the way up to Penang. Yeah. And you were, I think all the time in the corner, uh, electric, what were your first impressions of driving a full electric vehicle? Okay. The car, the car itself. So we take out for now, they got charging like, cause the first experience, the first day it was driving the car, right? It was like, I get what the hype is about. You know, I get the electric, I've seen the videos of Tesla's, you know, they're on the road and then they're like, Oh, I'll put my, my mother or whoever next to me now, Florida, but I don't know. What's the surprising? I'm, please, my, my weekend.
But then when I got into the corner and like just that first acceleration out of the corner, oh, the, the, the power is like, it's so unlike a car where it doesn't build. It's just there, there, 100% all of it is there. And, and I feel like I was not prepared for that. It, it drove sort of like, um, like a, like a CVT gearbox car, but not crap, you know, like a good, like the power is like CVT is the perfect gearbox. Cause you always in a pocket, I don't know who says that, but I don't like CVT gearbox. But the CVT is that we actually drive that terrible, that terrible in theory, it makes sense. But no, what it should feel like is like the EV, right? It's always on. So driving that, that was really, really fun. Even though it's like, it looks like an unassuming car, but the power like acceleration wise is unmatched.
Okay. Which, which, which I had like a brief experience driving the corner. And, yeah, I agree completely with your experience. So I had like a brief experience with the corner EV. We were doing the zero to under acceleration test. And it's, it's addictive. And it's fun. Yeah. And you get used to how, how quiet a car, an electric car is and how smooth an electric car is. Yeah. And how convenient it is. I can totally see that it's the future. But is there a but? The but, okay. Wait. So the but is batteries are heavy. Batteries are really heavy. Okay. I think the corner electrical vehicle is not the car that we use. It wasn't designed for what we used it for. Yeah. I agree. But, but, but, No, for heaning, because it's, it's deceptive in the way that it accelerates like a sports car. But it's not right. It's like nothing. Yeah. And it's, it's accelerates so insanely quickly that in your brain it's just like, oh, this is performance. Yeah. But it's not. So don't, don't think of it as a performance vehicle, because it's definitely not. And you know, there'll be more details of this in our full review. Of course. But yeah, at the end of the day, it's, it is still, you know, a town around town vehicle. It's a family little cross. I mean, I think it's for like young people. Yeah. Lesser of a family is like a high hedge back. It's like, ah, yeah, yeah. The size of a HRV. Yes. But without the floor space. Yeah. Unfortunately, because the batteries are low and under the seats, you don't get a lot of space in the back. I think my question, my question to you is like, what's the butt like around town?
I think they should, okay, we'll talk about like, range anxiety first. Because I remember telling you like, oh, I'm quite anxious about like having just 400. Yeah. And I was in my range and then not knowing where I need to charge next. Not knowing how long you have to wait before you can move another 400. Yeah. So that's kind of like the impetus that had that, that, that led us down this path of driving 1000 kilometers in an EV vehicle to find out. It was an interesting experience for me also because it was like, I generally don't have battery anxiety. Like I run my phones down until they're dead all the time. Partly because we, when we review phones, that's how I, I'll be the battery. So I was curious to find out if like that would apply for cars. And to a certain extent, yes, I, I wasn't that concerned with the range. But it was frus, what was more frustrating was the unknown factor of charging the car. And, and I guess we can, we can jump right into that.
Okay. Before, before we start that, start that, right? So the assumption was when we went down this, when we, when we went on this trip, right? So we were like, okay, we're going to test an EV vehicle and see like how, how would we use it as Malaysian drivers? Right? You mentioned people like to drive. We like to drive. We like to go on weekend trips. Yeah, nice roads. Yeah. And we, we maybe want to go down to, um, Penang or go, sorry, go up to Penang or go, go, go down to Malacca. And we, in a petro vehicle, you don't have to think about there's no plan or preparation other than the route itself. Right.
With EV vehicle. So we, we said like, okay, it's going to be a thousand kilometers. We're going to drive all the way up to Penang and we buffered ourselves. Okay. We might not be able to make it all the way to Penang. We're going to start with people. Yeah. All this will be in our review. In your, in your review, then we assume that, okay, all we need to do was just find charging stations. Yeah. And we're fine. Correct. Then we start the journey.
So, okay. So first things first, when we talk about the route, right? So the route was also specifically designed to be charger friendly. We won the original route was it also brought us on the East Coast, which we suspect would have nice views as well. But the East Coast doesn't have charging stations. Many if any charges that we could find on our app. And that was quite disappointing. So we're like, okay, we'll keep it on the West Coast. We'll stop by major cities or evolve major city halfway and then we'll reach Penang and then we go and do that, right? So I was like, okay, cool. That's settled. The thing I didn't expect to run into problems with was charging even in KL.
So the thing that you need to know about charging buying an electric vehicle, the first thing that you need actually isn't money to buy the electric vehicle. You need to download the apps. You need to download all the apps. There are apps. Okay. Yes. I have three charging apps in my phone and I'm not even like a high-duty. So here's the charging stations or like the charging infrastructure is very fragmented. It feels very fragmented to me, right? Again, qualify one data point first time. No, no, I agree. It's fragmented because if, again, if the energy is like mobile phones and that's all right. So you assume that, okay, I have a plug. A three-plane plug point is a three-plane plug point. A USB-C is a USB-C, a lightning is a lightning. So as long as I can get my car to a plug point and I can plug in my charger and charge it and I'm good. So if you don't do your research, so let's say if you're like a newbie and or you're not technically inclined and you got a car or the car comes with that type one charger. Type two. No, the type one. Oh, yeah. Type one. The one that goes into directly into a three-plane plug and then directly into your car. As long as I can do that, I should be fine. I can drive within the range. So I can have like maybe a 50-kilometer buffer, so let's say if the car can do 400. I can maybe go all the way up to PNang. Find my hotel or find my Airbnb. Just plug it there and it will charge.
Which is actually how we started. That was the first time. Yes, that was the first time I was charging the Airbnb. And then, so then after that, when it was time to charge the car, so I got it on the first day, I didn't charge it because 400 came range. Whatever. I'm good. 400 in KL, that takes about a week. Yes, easily. So then the next day, after our shoot, I was like, okay, maybe before we go for a shoot, let me plug it into my house. Right? Because my house, they are dedicated charging base. The management allows you to charge for four hours for free, but it's four hours in the middle. So I'm like, okay, I'll go and charge this morning. This was like 10 a.m. We had a shoot, a call time 4 p.m. So I was like, okay, I'll plug in there's plenty of time.
I was like, okay, I'll charge for hours no problem. I plugged it in. I went over there, I parked in, they got open the box for me because security, he opened right. And it was a trip in. Oh, no. Trippin socket. I was like, okay, how bad could it be? Okay, okay.
So I was in a long time. We shouldn't put the spoiler. I shouldn't say, oh no. Okay, trippin. Yeah, you can charge. You can charge. Yeah. So, but the people who own EVs, they know already. So I plugged it in and I plugged it into the car and the output I was getting was 1.5 to kilowatts, which is 1.2 kilowatts, 4 contacts, right? 1.2 kilowatts. And the battery is 64 kilowatts. So 1.2 kilowatts per hour. All right. So do the math. So essentially, okay, the charging that I would have gotten from that plug is like barely enough to get me back from the charging bay to my bucket.
Like, I plugged it in for the four hours. Again, I think 1%. Like that's it. It was, it was terrible. So I was like, oh, this is going to be a problem. So that's why I downloaded the apps. Yeah, that's why I think Tesla's have stopped giving you the type 1 charges because they're practically useless. It's going to take, so on the corner's calculation, it's going to take about what? 30 hours? 27 hours, 40 minutes from 40, 48%. 200. 200. That's, that renders the car unusable for what? Two days? Basically, yeah. Because you just have to charge it. Then you talk about, okay, why don't we trickle charge it? Why not I come back from work, I'll charge it with the world plug, not world plug, with the type 1 charge in the trip in, and then it's going to work? No, it's, it's, what's the work I'm looking for? It's diminishing return. Yeah. It takes longer for you to charge than for you to, it takes longer for you to charge. Correct. Especially if you're in my case in an apartment where you have a limit, so you can't leave it overnight or so. So, so yeah, four hours, right? Yeah. Some people think, yeah, four hours is more enough. I can charge my phone two times over in four hours. Yeah. But it's not. It's not. And then, and then the complication is if you are living in an apartment, you can't own an EV charger. You can't own an EV car. If it's an old apartment.
And then, so if you're, if you live in an apartment, then you have to think about like, where can I charge? Yeah. So it completely changes your ownership habit because I now can't go to any patrol session. I now have to go to the malls that have the charges. Okay. Well, let's talk about the malls that have the charges. And then, yes. So the malls that have the charges. So after I tried charging at home, didn't work, I was just like, it's okay. 48%. That's like 250 Kmary, something like that. Okay. More than enough for shoots. So we went for the shoot after the shoot. Okay. I searched on the app. So I used the first app I used was the Charge EV app because Charge EV is the biggest on their website. They say they're the biggest charging station provider. And I believe that my most of the things I see are Charge EV.
So I used the app and the app is terrible, by the way. It's a horrible app. It's very, very, like it's very slow for starters. Sometimes you open a map and there's just no charging stations for whatever reason. And it's frustrating to do that. And sometimes the information isn't even accurate. So in this case, when I went after our shoot, we were like, okay, we'll go to paradigm mall to have dinner and then we'll continue. So while you're having dinner, you plan to charge your car. Yes. Because I go to paradigm mall a lot and I see, wow, charging stations. Yeah. And on the app, it says it's a 22 kilowatt charger, which is enough. That's enough. The corner supports 11 kilowatt AC. So that's enough. So just for context, 22 kilowatts is like kind of like the sweet spot. You can pull that kind of power from your house. If you install like a wall charger, you can. And a lot of electrical support either 11 or 22 kilowatts. And with that, you can charge your car within five from zero to 100% within five to six hours. So because the corner pulls 11, yeah, about six hours. But I wouldn't say it's a sweet spot. I would say that's the minimum. I mean, it's a sweet spot for me because you can't pull any more power if you're charging at home. Yeah. So even the problem.
Okay. So I also, okay, I pulled up to paradigm more. Where's the charger? Where's the charging be? No signage. Nothing. So if you're not unfamiliar paradigm, it doesn't tell you like it doesn't this floor, this bay, I couldn't find it. Yeah. So so it was a paradigm most parking split into two. So you have rooftop parking? Yes. And basically level and basement. Yes. Okay. So where is it? I had to stop at the side of the road in Google. I was like, oh, okay, it's in basement too. Okay. All right, we'll go basement. You lot see. All right.
So I went down and I pulled up, I found the charger. The charging be signed by the way. It's like this big one. And isn't it like all blue ways? I mean, EV is all blue. But it's in like quite a dark corner of the wall. So it becomes gray. So it becomes gray. Yeah, it becomes hard to tell. But not that I could see the bay anyway, because when I pulled up to the supposedly train to kill a white charger, there were two plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Okay. No spoiler, but then plug-in hybrid vehicles. Actually, vehicles too, right? It's like plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. It's true. What is the difference for our listeners and viewers? All right.
So there's like you have your petropower cast. Okay. Because, you know, I'm asking this question because, you know, I could be a pebona. I have the right to charge. I have a battery too. What's wrong with that? Why can't I do that? Okay. The reason is because if you are on a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, if you run off electricity, you can still go home. It's a hybrid. It will work off your engine. You have an engine. Yes. So the electric seat, electricity and the motor is secondary. Correct. It's not the primary driving machinery in the car. Yes. You have a backup. Is there for efficiency to improve your mileage? Yes. Not to replace your veteran. Yes. In fact, the motor and the electric componentry is the backup. For the engine. Basically, yeah. In an electric vehicle. If I run off electricity, I'm stuck there. There's no backup. I'm pushing. Like it's going to be Rory power now, you know? Yeah. How many kilowatts is that? Not enough.
So what happened after that was when I found the two plug-in hybrid vehicles, I had to go and park somewhere else and hope and pray that one of them finishes charging and leaves so I can go and charge. Which they did. Half an hour later, one of the vehicles left and I could go pull up. I pull up a home or left to move the car. I don't know. I think left for a home. I don't think they will leave to move the car. Okay. That is a very important distinction I mentioned because it's another problem with EV mentality in Malaysia. Yes. I'm not sure what it is, because I don't want to single out my country. I love my country. I hate it when people say, oh, Malaysian people like this. Because sometimes everybody's like that. Americans are like that. Yeah. Wherever, you know, human nature is human nature.
So it's not the Malaysian mentality, but it is the mentality in terms of like, okay, we don't know how to do this. Because an electric vehicle to a lot of people, even the pair of owners and the bebs owner, the bebs owners, and electric vehicles and electric vehicles. Yeah. It has a battery. It has, it needs electricity to power it up. Yeah. Okay. So one feller went home or moved the car. Okay. And then I outside. Okay. I pulled up into the slot. And I plugged in the car and I only got 3.5 kilowatts. So do the math. Do the math. Okay. Basically the car told me that it would take 12 plus hours from that. What was it? I think it was 30% to charge full. Some people shop for 12 hours. Yeah. So I was like, oh, great. So wait, was it? No, no, it was like 56%. So it was about 12 hours from 56%. I remember because when I plugged it in and when I had dinner, it was like an hourly time after that charge, I gave my annual set 60%. So I gave 4% in that one hour, just barely enough to get me halfway home. Wow. Yeah. Wow. So that was a, that was an experience. Okay. The, the, the lesson here is for this, for this part of this 1000 kilo meter. Okay. We tried to try to not make it. Not small to much for so long. I mean, I don't want to extend this show for over now. True, true, true. So keep it too. Like maybe half an hour, 45, 45 minutes, but, but keeping it as informative as possible, because this is important learning experiences that you are upcoming or aspiring, uh, EV or best owners, uh, battery electric battery powered electric vehicles. That's the water. That's the engine drives, engine drives the battery. Is it or charges the battery? Is it that one? No, no, Beth is the battery drives. Oh, it's just EV la.
Ah, oh, officially it's called Beth battery powered electric vehicle. Okay. So, uh, my, my, when I was looking at the charging points, uh, in malls, uh, in paradigm, I think, uh, in the curve that's, you know, they always place it in the central location or in the convenient location. Yeah. It looks like a reserve lot. Yeah. It looks like, oh, I'm privileged. I, I have now an energy regard that I can park here in charge. And it didn't occur to me that as a responsible public citizen, that if I want to share this public infrastructure with other people, that I don't, I can't leave it there for five hours or for how many hours it takes me to do my shopping at IKEA. And it's not a reserve lot for me. It is for me to top up and park somewhere else. Yeah.
And the way I see it, I don't see us as the society doing that now because the market has been dominated by Pav owners for such a long time for four, five, three, I don't know. And they've seen that as a privilege. They've seen the A.E. I got a Pav slot. I got a charging station that I can. It's like reserved for me. Nobody else can park that. It's for me. It's like a percussive saving environment, right? You know, that's another, that's another argument. And then now we have a flood of EV vehicles coming. I read like Volvo deliver like 20 cars. I Hinder also deliver another like 20 cars. I don't know how many Taycans are there on the road. I don't know how many IXs are there on the road. Also taking into account the Leafs and whatever not. Although those are more rare. The current infrastructure and the current parking lots are not enough. Yeah, woefully unequal. It's not enough. Okay. Okay.
So not enough in two ways, right? If we still continue to think that the charging parking lots in malls are reserved for us to use and for us to park there for however long it takes for us to charge our car. And it's not enough. Even if we change our mindset to say, okay, I'm just going to talk about after two hours, I'm going to take a leaf. It's not enough because quantity wise is just simply not enough. Yeah. And even quality because as much as I experience, you know, this this PHEV people hogging, hogging log using air quotes, the parking lots. Most of the ones in malls that you find are just not fast enough for EVs. Yeah. They are probably just a slightly more powerful tripping socket. The ones usually is 3.7 kilowatts. So that is like about three times faster than your normal tripping, which is nothing. It's not enough for an EV. Like a full EV. You need like, we know we mentioned, right? 22. We need a 22 kilowatt charger. That would be the bare minimum. Because in whatever time you take the shop, right, let's say one hour, a half an hour, if you want to get any meaningful charge, it has to be that fast. Yeah. In my opinion. At least it can take you back. Yeah. Yeah. If you start off at home, you don't end up negative. Yes. Yes. Yes.
But at the same time, the problem with the infra is that and again, we can I don't want to because I see, I mean, I mean, I mean the Facebook groups and all that. Yeah. Facebook group is it's just toxic. Because there's the discussion is not a gauge of what's going on in the public space. I refuse to believe what what's on social media is what's going on in real life. I refuse that. I want to disconnect from that. But we do see people blaming like the infra is not there. There's not enough charges and stuff like that. But my biggest point, my biggest contention is even if the infra is there and this is an ongoing team with the people in this country. I'm not talking about relations, but with the people in this country that we cannot have nice things. Yeah. Because even if there is enough parking lots, enough charges, there will be more cars coming into the market to hog it. Yeah. It's like parking lots. Literally, like you can have nice parking lots. You can have nice parks. You can have nice of things. And people will just come and mess it up. Yeah. With rubbish, with double parking, with hogging, we will we will trip the system is we are good at that. Yeah.
And it's also like a bit of a love hate relationship for me and PHEV owners, right? Or PHEV vehicles. Because the whole reason why we have so many charges is because there are so many people. Because they were the pioneers. They were the first people. Yeah. They were the they're the reason why you know you'll find it in malls. They're the reason why you find it in some apartments and things. But at the same time, it's like you don't really need to park there for four hours to fill up your double a battery. Yes. And the station with paths, the battery are much smaller. It's not even a quarter of what a full electrical can can achieve. It's like I think even the good ones are like 50 km.
Yes. And and and if you are a pepperoni, you can use a tripping socket to charge your car. You can overnight. It'll be fully charged. Ready to go. And then by the time you reach a parking lot of battery finish. Because the battery is so small. That's number one. Number two is I'm assuming a lot of the pepperoni is and if you are a pepperoni, you can correct me if I'm wrong. Please feel feel free to put them in the comment section. Right. But I think I am correct on this. You also have you also plug it in at home if you own a landed property. And and we had one of the experience in one of our locations where we went there early in the morning. We were charging at a path station and we were like, you made a comment like who in the world would come to a mall so early. Yeah. Eight a.m. It was an area. It was a pepperoni coming to charge his car at the slot that we used to charge our car. Correct. And we were like, and I was like doing my maths. I was like, I think he like would. So eight a.m. He's probably coming from home. Yeah. So if he's coming from home, that means his car is fully charged. Should be at least. Right. Right. Very likely. Right. So he's coming to work and he's charging it again. Yeah. That to me tells me is just it's just a reason for him to use that lot because he feels that that lot is his because he has the privilege to use that lot. Perhaps yeah. And the bad, the thing is that lot is that was a fast charging lot. 22 kilowatts also. You don't need so fast for. Yeah. And you don't need to for for paths and you don't need to hold it. Yeah. Yeah. You don't. For sure.
Okay. So I mean, we're running out of time and I think your story is very interesting. You cut through the chase, then after that you go into the highway. So we talked about the hogging, right? Yeah. We talked about like in from and I want to give kudos to like do we give kudos to BMW now or do we give kudos to BMW after you go? I guess we can give kudos to BMW because most of the charges that we find that are available and good are BMW charge now judges. Yes.
Okay. So okay, we'll go to the points, right? So we won't go to Disney's, but we're going to the point is you go on to the highway, you use your app, you try to find charging stations. Yeah. Then you, it's like rolling a dice. Correct. So what can happen? Rolling the dice? What can happen? So the thing is, if, if here's like a quick tip, my favorite app of all the apps that I downloaded is Pluckshare. Okay. So that is like a. That's the crowd source. Crowd source one. Yes. It's like four square for charges. Okay. So that's the reason why I could charge my car before we left, thanks to Pluckshare because they have real world users who leave real world reviews. They even have like tips and tricks and stuff like that for you to do it. So that was great. But when it comes to, to charger availability, that's probably block shares weakness because they can't tell you what the charges in use or if it's in maintenance. Charge EV and JOM charge they can. But not so reliably. But sometimes the thing that I found really funny was that on the charge EV app, they have, they have, they are like, they are, they are keys, right? So you have green available orange occupied. Then there's white and you know what white is unknown. How can you not know? How can this is the one charger in the rest of along with it? How is it unknown? Yeah. Do I like, do I risk it? And then, and then if I show up and it's, and it's, and it's not available, then I'm screwed. I'm spending the night in the rest issue or I'm calling a tow truck. And then there are also those, that even worse, perhaps even worse than the white unknown ones are the green ones that when you show up, it's under maintenance. How can they not know this? Like shouldn't there be power? Like, you know, like, yeah, well there should be something. It comes back to the infra, right? It comes back to, to that.
And then on the highway. So we roll the dice. You mentioned these things could happen. Yes. The other thing is it could be green, but there are, there's somebody parking there already. Um, yeah. And yeah, non EV car or motorcycles. Yes. Or whatever. Yes. And you can't get it. Yeah. Who knows, right? Yeah. Because nobody, nobody cares. Nobody is saying like, because EVs are so rare on the highway in the, on interstate highways that is unused and it becomes like a, okay, you lot. Yeah.
Sometimes I know it's strong and I'm not saying I'm, I do it, but sometimes you know that there's a place where the, the, the disabled infrastructure is so terrible, but there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, it's better to just park there. There's a blue lot there. It's like, we all know that nobody's going to park there. I mean, no OKU will park there. Yeah. I mean, I don't, I don't have a nicer way to do this to say it, to say this, but I feel like that's what, uh, people, that's how people look at the blue EV, um, um, um, base, because like, okay, I, I, I go through this, this, this highway every day. I go my interstate every day, not every day, or often. And I never see a corner. It's always empty. Yeah.
It's wasting important resource. It's like that time where it's like that thing that people talk about when you're going down an escalator, is it better to stand one on one side or on both sides? Because when you stand on one side, you're only using half of the escalators capacity to make room for people who want to walk down. But how many people do that? So why not most of the time you stand on both sides so that you use double the capacity of the escalator is the same argument. So when is this going to change? The problem is that, uh, EV parking lots are in two convenient locations. We got a, maybe the solution is to move all the EV charging lots like just far enough that, you know, people can't get the parking lot. That could be one solution. I think that is, uh, I mean, I wouldn't say it's not a, that's not a bad solution at all, right? That's good. Because if you make it inconvenient, then people will stop looking at it as something, um, desirable, right? I'm not going to park my car there, especially the pepperonis, right?
Ah, no, no, no, I'll just park, if there's a parking lot nearer to the escalator, I'll use that. Yeah. Then it gives us room for the baths to charge that. Correct. So it becomes a necessity rather than a convenience. Yes, but my question is why can't we have electric charges at nice locations? Because Malaysians kind of have nice things. Yes. Because we don't allow ourselves that discipline. Yeah. We don't allow ourselves like, okay, let's be responsible and I'm just going to charge here, put my timer on one hour done. I'm taking it out, parking it somewhere else. No, I'll just park it there. Because, you know, if somebody else is parking it there, they're going to do the same thing. So pay it forward in a negative way. Yeah.
I hope you guys find this, uh, interesting and thanks for coming on the show. And you know, I think I had, we had fun driving 1000k with this. For sure. Yeah. I think there's a lot of insight, uh, which, you know, Roy will share in his review, but I want to like give a shout out to like BMW. I think they get it right. They get the charging right despite not having a lot of cars on the road. I, I already in my mind have this feeling that I know if I drive a BMW anywhere, I can find a BMW showroom. I can find a charger. Basically. And I can find a good charger, like a fast DC charger. Like we haven't talked about charger, but yeah. DC may be not, uh, so common, but you, there are usually 22 kilowatt chances from what we found. Yeah. And I can charge my car. Yeah.
So because we, we drove the corner and both times where we really need to charge quickly BMW. Well, one of the time, one of the time, the other time, it was a bit of a problem. It was a bit of a problem. But I think that's another, another point that, that, um, I, I discovered in this EV journey is that a lot of the charging points. Okay. And I think that are very, like, you're very uncertain. You never know whether you're doing the right thing there or not. You know, it's like, okay, we'll, we'll use a petrol power engine, right? Yeah. You drive a petrol car to a petrol station. Just pump, pay gone. There is a standard way to correct. They even had, I don't know whether it was your age, but I mean, it's your era, but, uh, there was like a jingle. Uncut, uncut, the can, uncut muscle, the computer, whatever, it's like, okay. Okay. Definitely not before my time. So I'll get out.
In English is I take it out, put it in and press. Press. Yeah. Yeah. Basically, yeah. Because they did a jingle. Sorry. They did that jingle because they were shifting from service, full service pumps where, where the guy would say, you know, you do self service pumps. Okay. So they had to have that thing so that people don't screw you up because, you know, spilling petrol over yourself or over your guys. It's very dangerous. It's an, an inconvenient at best, right? And a danger at worst.
Yes. We've all seen Zoolander guests. Yes. So, but because Evie is so wild, wild, west in Malaysia, the cars are all standard, right? The charging points for the cars are standing except for Tesla's. But the charging power, the charging locations, uh, the, the government is not going to come out or at least not now because we talked about this and I will show it. They didn't put a proper roadmap to say that, okay, how do we educate people on the proper usage of, of Evie's? Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
Like that, that it's one thing to say that, um, and, and I feel this way also because it's like, I, I feel like car companies who want to sell Evie's should also invest in infrastructure. Right. That's why when, uh, that's why I like, I like what BMW is doing in the sense that they are working with charge Evie to, to expand the network. I don't see anyone else doing it. Like Volvo, for example, I was super disappointed to hear, uh, basically during the launch of the XC 40 recharge, um, the fully electric, um, someone asked them like, you know, why are you doing for infrastructure and the, the guys answer was basically, um, yeah, we'll just make the cars and other people are doing the infrastructure. We don't have to do it. Like what is that come on man?
But I can't also fully blame them because, um, these are all like, like they are doing it themselves, right? They, the, the car, uh, manufacturers are taking the owners on themselves to make this for their customers. There is no direction. There is no plan. Like there is no, like, uh, the government doesn't say, oh, we need to have these charge just by this amount of time. Like every kilometer you need to have X amount of charges. Yeah. I believe like, I'm sure petrol stations had something similar when you were first coming out, right?
Yeah. I'm not sure about that though, but you know, but the, the incentive, uh, and the, the impetus was strong. Yeah. You can make money out of it.
是的,不过我对此并不确定,但是你知道,但是激励和动力很强烈。是的,你可以从中赚钱。
Yes. Yes. So I'm sure you can make money out of, uh, charging stations even more because it becomes an occasion. Yeah. Uh, I don't foresee charging numbers to drop significantly in the next maybe five, ten years. You're going to at least stay. If, if it's a DC charger, you're going to at least at least need 30 minutes to 45 minutes. And that's an amount of time that people are, uh, idle. They're not doing anything. They're going to see and they cannot do anything. The opportunity to sell. To sell. Yeah. To sell burgers, to sell whatever you can because, um, for petrol pumps, that's their problem. They cannot get people to stay long enough because it's less than five minutes and you're out. Yeah.
Uh, that's why they were very reluctant to have, uh, pay, uh, terminals at the pump because they want to force people to go in. Because that's where they make the money. Mm. This is already done. Yeah. So, but who's driving this? Nobody is so fragmented. You have a, a, a, trying to drive fast charging. You have TNB and shell working with something, but there's no roadmap there. BMW is trying, but I think it's only a certain dealer. So I think this, this one dealer is Tian Xiang. Yeah. Tian Xiang. Yeah. Those were the ones that we found to have chargers. We don't know whether they are others or we, uh, not sure whether it's a BMW, uh, a simple lead or it's like a dealer initiative. We say, okay, I want my place to have more. Correct.
Yeah. Because I want my customers to come. Yeah. And it's such a simple thing, right? So if, if, if I'm going to get like a Volvo or a Hyun Dye and if I have in my mentality that I can just go to any, uh, dealer and there's a charging point, then I'll be at least elevated with my worry. Yeah. At least you know that you have one charger in a town that you can use, right? Yeah. At least one. Yeah. So, so that's the thing. And, and a lot of the charges that we, we, we, we, we that I ended up charging an arm, private property. We don't know whether we can go in or not. We don't know whether we are actually allowed to charge. I feel like I'm, I'm always looking over my shoulder. You know, I'm like, uh, somebody going to electricity, right? It feels like that. Even though there is a system, a terminal, a card, it's like a public access. Correct. Like, like the one that I topped up before we left, which is ABB.
Honestly, I really appreciate them because it's really near my house in Sanway. Um, they have a real, they have a 50 kilowatt DC charger. So fast. Uh, I pulled up to the compound to charge. It's like a warehouse, right? It's a warehouse. Uh, and the gates were closed. Nobody was there. I was like, oh, is this the right place?
And then as I pulled up to the gate, the gate opened and I drove the house. Oh my God. There's nobody here. And then the gate closed behind me. I was like, am I, am I in a horror film? You know what? I just realized, uh, petrol pumps, right? They want people to come. Sometimes you are at a stretch where there are street petrol pumps competing. Yeah.
And they have people, I don't know back then, they had people where they were literally like a person at the entrance of the petrol pump waving you in. Yeah. I P T the fella, but it was so competitive that they would, they were trying to be attractive. Yeah. What my, what I realize now is the least that, that all these charging infrastructure providers can do is make it welcoming.
So your ABB, I'm not, I'm not faulting them. I think they are, the ABB is a brand that supplies the charging stations. Yeah, technology. Yes. And then we have charge EV and all the parking lots and all that. And again, the common team here is BMW is the one that rises above. Every time you go to a bay in a shopping mall where BMW is powered by, it's branded by BMW, it's clear. Yeah.
There's, there's BMW here. There's also signage leading you to where the sign is. And it's so simple, right? Yeah. The ABB thing, that warehouse, you could just have a normal signage to say, EVs welcome here or, or whatever, right? It's so easy. Yeah, I guess. But again, the one is, it makes sense for them. Like they don't have to do that because it's their private, it's their office basically, you know, it's their factory.
Like if you want to, if you know, you can come and charge, like, you know, they do have signage in the, in the bay itself. Like, but I don't think, but it's not like, I don't think it's their business model. Let's, let's put it there. I mean, it should be because for me, it's, it's a, well, well, where's and the fastest, most prominent mover will win. And to me, ABB has come out to be one of the, not fastest, but one of the more reliable charging stations, charging station providers in the country because they are also working with Shell to provide the fast charging along that highway. Those are powered by ABB.
Yeah. And jump charge, right? Yeah. Those are powered by ABB. Yes. Yes. And the one that you used is easy. Yeah. It's reliable. It's convenient and stuff like that. Right. So, I mean, they could very well be so visible that if I, it will become like, I mean, they could be more like a petrol station thing because the risk now is if there is no visibility in terms of the charging station provider, then it becomes a commodity. I don't care where I'm getting my power from as soon as I get my power. Yeah.
If you make it into a experience, then I only want to go to stations where has, where it has ABB. So there's inconsistency. The unknown factor. Okay. Let's, let's address the point here. The other one is I think modern EVs nowadays, the current crop of EVV because that you can get in the market right now from Hyundai, from Volvo, from Kia that's coming in from Toyota, not from Mazda because it's the range is crap.
The Mazda MX3E. Yeah. MX3E. Is it, what is it called? MX3 something? No, it's not even 200K. From BMW, from Volvo, BMW, Porsche, you are fine. You won't have to worry about range anxiety if you're traveling, even if you're traveling to Saramban, not a problem. In Kerala, we'll talk about KAL, right? Yeah. Or if you're traveling around town, in KAL.
That is, it's called, it's KAL. It's KAL. It's KAL. I'm sorry. It's going to be much more difficult for you. Yeah. It's a challenge. We tried to do the numbers. We cannot even plan a route that takes a day to get to that site. Yeah. Because there's not enough charges. I think there's one in Kwan Tan. And that's it. And after that, it's no, no, no, the point of no return. Yeah. Either make it or you don't. You call total. Yeah. Yeah, basically.
The cars are great. Infrastructure in town is okay. You need a lender property or apartment building management that understands your needs. Correct. Mentality is a big issue. I think I feel, especially in charging stations, the free ones. Brands, Infra provider. I think you have a major, major, major opportunity here to be so visible and own that market, own that market today so that everybody just talks about you. Like they talk about Colgate and diapers and Kodak. Yeah. That you become a household name.
BMW is doing something really good. I think a lot of other car brands should follow them. Electric vehicles are quite practical actually. Then, yeah. The experience was much better than I thought. Yeah. Because I'm like, I'm hardcore petrol, like petrol power. Yeah. And you were pushing it. You were pushing it and you got it all the way down to 6% and you survived. Yes. It got pretty dicey. Yes. But it's the work. Yeah.
Here's for Starbucks, if you're listening. Here is a business idea. I give you for free. Or if you want to pay me, it's okay. Starbucks, look, people spend half an hour charging. At least. Imagine they could spend half an hour drinking your overpriced coffee. Put a charging station in every Starbucks. Yeah. And you'll get, because let's say, let me put it this way. The same people who go to Starbucks are people who buy EVs. There's a big overlap there. Yeah. There's an overlap there. Yeah. I can imagine the Venn diagram. I be, I be, you know, just put a charger in your Starbucks. Guaranteed best business plan you ever made. All the street site Starbucks star. Yeah. Yes. Because most of the Starbucks star. Not in the mall one, I don't get it. Yeah. If you want to sponsor the mall charger, also okay. Buy one latte, get one hour free charger. Yeah.
Okay. And EVs and Pevs, guys, it's no longer a privilege. It's a tool now. Yeah. Right? So back then, like mobile phones, it was a privilege, right? I can carry that big, honking and thing and show that, hey, you know, I made it. Yeah. I can buy a mobile phone now. Yeah. And I can talk wherever I want. I can do aactivity. And ev – and it took like probably 10 to 12 years, 15 years to now this – for this to become a commodity where even everybody's using a phone because it's a tool that you need to survive. Similarly to edge vehicles, it will become a commodity instead of a luxury. Right now it's still – I think five years down the line is still be a luxury, but it's not a privilege. Yeah. It's a choice, but not a privilege. We have moved that need� harvestums from a privilege. It's true. Yeah. to the PH EV ownership. Yeah, I know I complain about you a lot. But let's try to deal. Let's try to deal, okay? You can have all the 3.7 kilowatt charges. You can have all the 3.5 kilowatt charges. And sure, in a pinch, you can have the 10-2 kilowatt charges. But for one hour, for half an hour, to charge your double A battery, right? But don't charge the fast charges. You know, leave that for full EV people because they have very casino, you know, you want to find a good charger to charge their car. Correct. I agree. Absolutely. Please sympathize to EV owners. We do not have CSC. We do not. I don't have an EV. Oh, spoiler. I don't have an EV. No, I wanted to say that. EV owners, I'm speaking on behalf of EV owners, okay? So they do not have the backup. Yeah. And if they start their screwed. Because most EV cars weigh over two tons. Very difficult to push. Very difficult to put on a towing truck. And if you do put them on a tow truck, where they're going to go? You take them home, okay? If they have a wall plug, you can take them home. Or they'll be like you. The car will be on a tow truck. And they'll be like, okay, let's go to this point. That point, unknown or WIPA guy. Correct. Go to another point. That one got another full air there. You're screwed. You're screwed. You cannot go to zero. You're screwed. I think after a point, right? The tow truck full air is going to unload the car. I'm like, good luck. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, I cannot charge you enough because I'm running out of business. I also want to go home and sleep well. Yeah.
Okay. So I think that's for my chair. Yeah. Yeah, that's a very like feature pack. And if you're like, if you really want to know how it's like to live with an EV, I think this is a good snapshot of what it's like.
Application is important. You need at least five. The charge EV. Pluck share. Pluck share. Don't charge. Don't charge. ABB. Wherever it is. Yeah, but yeah, those are the three main ones that you should have. You also have to consider the subscription. You need at least one, which is the plug share. Charge EV. 240 bucks a year. Yeah. Yeah. For unlimited charging. For, yes. Yes. And yeah, there's, there's a contribute a lot more planning required.
I do see reports of charging stations coming up on a daily basis. So there are more charging stations now. There's, there's, there are charging stations in hospitals and stuff like that. The, the problem is they, they cannot power them up quickly enough. So some of them, it's easy to just put a box there. Yeah. But to get the power to the box to charge the car, that takes longer. So that's also a problem now. So you need to reroute a lot. I'm sure it's not as easy as just hooking it up to a three point. No, no. So for the DC ones, you need like a factory power. Yeah. I think that's all. Yeah. Just hearing those DC charges wind up, you're like, holy crap. It's like feeling a jet, jet engine. Oh yeah. It's like something serious. It's like going to take off like that. Yeah.
So to sum it up, electric vehicle ownership, if you take out the charging, take charging out of the equation, it's actually quite fun, to be honest. Yeah. I will have to say it's, it's a, especially even, even for people who don't like cars, I think you enjoy this. Yeah. It's so different. You get all the best things. You get super car performance. You get super quiet. Super quiet. All, even the basic model EV vehicles get the most advanced safety technologies that works. You can lay part in the car with the icon on without the noise. Yeah. It's amazing. I really look forward to electric vehicles, to be honest. I was kept ticked because of the range, but I think there are so much better now. Functionally, as a technology point, yes. As a, will you save the environment? There was a whole new discussion. No, that's, it's not it. I mean, you need the critical mass. Yes. 50 cars, 100 cars on the road. No, that's not going to change. Yeah. It's also going to depend on, you know, what, what, how your country generates electricity. So that's going to be different wherever you are. Like, Malaysia, most of it's too cold, you know? Yeah. So it's like, you're not really saving everyone there. So where, where the ownership experience needs to improve is in the charging and in, in charging, in charging stations, charging in FRA application. Yep. And I think the most important one is mentality. The mindset. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For sure.
All right. It's time to look at some reader comments from our previous episode. So this is from, these are comments from the episode. Is it the right time to buy an EV?
All right. The first question is from Jackie Young, Hahn Y. And they said there was an announcement recently that the government will stop subsidizing petrol for M40 and above groups. Could this be the final straw that will push for more EV adoption? No. This is not going to be the final straw. It's not going to be, it's not going to even be a straw.
How are they going to, how are they going to enforce it? Like, yes, that's a very, that is the most pertinent point. How do you enforce who is M40? Correct. It's like, oh, you show up, no, before, when you should pull out a petrol station, you got to show the guy your EA phone first. No, because we don't. We don't. It's like, OK, you can put my EA. I am M40. I am. OK. OK. OK. No, then you have the pump 97. Oh, yeah. Oh, so then you go there in tatters and stuff for that. So, not that we're saying B40 people are in tatters. No, M. Oh, my God. Yes. I'm sorry. M40, how do you enforce that? Yeah.
And then we also talked about mentality and we also talked about how we're so good at gaming the system, right? So if you do this, you know what M40 people will do? They will buy the cheapest car with the biggest tank that they can get. And then they will fill it up with the most petrol. And then, I mean, they can do it. I don't think there's a way to enforce this because, isn't it? Can we, we can't even stop Singaporeans from pumping our 95, right? True.
Exactly. So like they even bring the jack to GEM. Yeah. I saw that for the guy jacked up his car and pumped. I don't know if he's real. It's real. I believe he's built. Because, oh my God. And the thing is, it's so ridiculous, but we look at it like it's normal. Yeah. Because maybe some of us do the same too. I don't know. But, and M40 is the wrong group, I, in my opinion, because the M40 group is probably very, very big, right? Yeah. And they are barely just barely in that income group where you are like, okay, I have this and they're probably also living paycheck to paycheck. Yeah. Like that's the wrong group. It's the T1s, the T10s. Like there's so much more, like the M40 shouldn't be the group that they are texting.
Whatever, what you're telling me is that this method is wrong because if you focus on M40, you can't because of enforcement. Number two is if you can do, and you, if you can enforce this, you should focus on T1, but T1 will not generate the critical mass. Yeah. Because they live in a whole different, they'll just buy electric vehicles. segment. Yeah. So, no, this doesn't work. Correct.
To drive adoption, Jackie, we need, um, infra and we need a shift in mindset, a complete shift in mindset. We need industry to come in pitching and we need the government to come in pitching. Everybody needs to work together for this to happen. Yeah. Right. Yeah.
The next question is from, uh, Elvin, and he says, uh, another question to us is how long more will we have supply for petrol? If the supply is still plenty for the next 50 years, I will stick with petrol car until EV is more affordable, like 50k and more of more availability of EV charging station.
Okay. The supply of, um, fossil fuels. I think that is not an issue. Fossil fuel supply is not the one that is driving people to move to EV vehicles. It is carbon. Yeah. It is the worry of climate change through pollution. And that is the biggest problem right now. Before, I think before we run out, petrol, the whole, the whole world would have been melted really ending something like that. Yeah. Yeah.
So your, uh, your question is good because you highlight things that people don't think about. So number one is supply is not the issue.
所以,嗯,你提出的问题很好,因为你强调了人们通常没有考虑到的事情。所谓第一点是供应并非问题所在。
And then, and then you mentioned about affordability and that is actually the driving principle of adoption for greener technology. So we talk about green technology, not just EV vehicles. We talk about sustainability and, and green. We talk about moving from fossil fuel to other things.
The problem with that is all these things are much more expensive than what we have right now. That's why pollution is not stopping. That's why people are still buying plastic or still using plastic because plastic is cheaper. Plastic is faster. Plastic is more convenient. Yeah.
We're using fuel because, uh, internal combustion engines are cheaper, uh, more convenient, easier to use than energy vehicles. So the technology needs to be easy. That is either, it's more convenient than what we have today or is at least the same way. Yeah.
This is the problem with sustainability because when you, like, if you go into like, okay, a network country, I don't want to offend anybody. So a lot of the sustainability people will come and say, okay, hey, you need to change your ways because it's wrong. And then they go and push back. Yeah, you, why people, you know, you can do whatever you want in your country. Now you're coming and capturing our country. Yeah. That is always the, the discussion, the rhetoric that happens.
So what they found out is to, to drive sustainability is not to push and not to tell people what to do, but to make it profitable for them. So if you switch the industry, so let's say you are somebody that's, uh, doing something unsustainable and then you tell them, Hey, Rory, you know what? If you do something else, there will be more tourists and you will have more money and we're like, okay. So it's not about saving the environment. The, the carrot approach law. Yeah. Rather than the stick. Yeah. It's not about saving the world. And everyone you pointed out, it's about affordability and availability. Yeah.
Okay. Then, uh, the final question, this is from the bad Fred and they say, to go fully EV in Malaysia, in Malaysia, power infrastructure needs to change drastically. Otherwise millions in Clang Valley charging at the same time would collapse, uh, the power infrastructure.
Okay. Bad Fred, uh, this is a good point. And this is something I mentioned in my, in the, in this show in, in, is it the right time to buy an EV? And yes, if 10% of the population suddenly uses EV, it's not that the power infrastructure will collapse. It's just that the system will collapse. There will be like long lines at EV charging stations. Uh, EV charging stations will be broken because, uh, there's, it's overused. That's just too many people using it. We have surplus power supply in Malaysia, not a problem.
Uh, in fact, we have independent power producers producing more power than, uh, than we need. In fact, uh, there are houses that have solar panels that are providing, that are supplying power back to, to, to, to the grid. Yeah. We have more power, not a problem. The problem is we don't have enough charges. It's just we have more power, but we don't have enough, uh, plug points. It's imagine like you're in a hall and everybody suddenly, okay, there's a hundred people. And then the normal usage is five people needs to charge and there's four plug points in that hall.
So it is on a normal usage, you can support that, right? But suddenly one day everybody needs to charge and you only have five plug points. The, the charging station, the, the, what's going to be broken is the, the cable, the plug point, and maybe the wall socket, but the power system infrastructure is not going to be affected, right? That's pretty much it.
