About charging, the objective of public charging facilities are more towards ‘Opportunity Charging’ or known as ‘top-up charging’ instead of filling up battery to full charge. The practical means to do that is at home during overnight charging and not at the public charging station. :-)

If Apple and Samsung alike with already massive market volume don’t even have a business case to make wireless charging possible/affordable on a smartphone which consumes only 1A-2Amps of current, bro, keep praying harder for making it to charge the 13A-32A of current the typical EVs would draw, in the next few years or maybe decade??!! hehe

Oh btw, I like the Tesla S…and X…can go up to 300KM per full charge!…can easily go to Ipoh without any recharge. haha

Personally, at least in the short to medium term, EVs especially plug-in hybrids (directions of Honda and Toyota?) are not meant to REPLACE the ICE, but to co-exist to serve or target different market segments, e.g. as a daily city car. If the traffic is more congested, I believe the EV users would even save more….due to regenerative braking?? Correct me if I’m wrong , i was made to understand that EVs could easily save at least 50% in operational cost as compared to an ICE, in terms of energy and regular maintenance cost (due to less components needed in building EVs). I read that most EV OEMs are providing at least 5 years warranty on the EV batteries also.

Hmm…yeah, who is this Evmal? Can’t find their website …same for FEN too…seems like another green start-up in the green industry! haha A quick search on paultan site you can also read previously (during Pak Lah era) a company called Prodis-T seems to be planning to do something similar too, but since has gone silent….is this the right timing again? Hmm…time will tell again??

From what I have gathered from their brochure, it appears that the myEVKiosk is actually fusion of expertise between Stagno, Syntronic and Hager, although they also incorporated technology from Intel and Maxis in their charging station.

While the myEVKiosk seem to be able to rival the other charging stations, the chassis of the kiosk could certainly use a sleeker and leaner look on its design, like those of GE, Panasonic and ABB.

Overall, it was still all above my expectation to know that we are catching up with EV technology. It seems like the push for the age of EV has begun! :)

Anyway, if the automaker and gov want to make ev really hit the market, they should make an affordable ev, gov reduce ev tax.

And for us, we should know how ev can benefit to our life. Park and charge for hours is not practical at all. Unless they can make like 5 min fully charge.

How much the cost for servicing is important. Normal service and major, how long the battery can last, how much its cost for the battery.

More charging station will open when more people need it. And more ev otr as long as ev give more benefit on practicality and our pocket.

In this IT and smartphone era, it’d be good to see if the local EV infra and e-mobility service providers like Evmal are also able to extend features like finding and reserving charging stations via internet or mobile apps etc….convenience to the EV users on the road.

So when can we start seeing some EVs being commercialized on our Malaysian roads soon?? Or should I ask when we will see the charging stations available first??? Hmm….sounds like another chicken-and-egg issue again. haha

Malaysia boleh again!
