Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Rich gets richer, nice.
U charge your car slowly while I have already reach home n rest!
But I travel for free, toll and “petrol”…
But u pay in time and time is gold
But if time is gold, then y balik kampung to enjoy, better just continue work? Anyway, those owned ev knew more on $ matters , if not how to own such cars. But i dont agree they give them free chargelah..since they r high earners…wanna give, give f&b voucher to every1, so all can enjoy..
Free charging means every batter car owners will wait charging completion, till 100%
So if your kampung is north of Ipoh, you simply have bad luck? In this case you would have to take a petrol power generator with you to charge your EV?
lots of charger in penang
Towing company already standby
so many hatred comments. No wonder you guys stuck at the same level of life
Its not hatred. EVs are beyond the reach of the average Malaysians. So it seems like the rich who can afford to buy these EVs at prices well above RM150K are getting free/subsidised “fuel” ie charging, while the B40 or M40 group who can only afford ICE cars have to pay much more.
The only common thing among B40, M40 & T20 is all like to use latest iphone or samsung :) and cut queue & beat traffic lights
