\n\n- Energy cost per 100km at subsidised RON95 (RM1.99/L): Petrol 1.5L ~RM14.20 | Hybrid 1.5L ~RM9.05 | Full EV (home charging TNB RM0.57/kWh) ~RM8.80 | Full EV (public DC ~RM1.50/kWh) ~RM23.10
\n- Public DC fast charging costs as much as unsubsidised petrol: At market-rate petrol (RM3.72/L), petrol costs ~RM26.55/100km vs public EV charging at ~RM23.10/100km — nearly equivalent
\n- 5-year maintenance costs: Petrol RM3,500–4,500 | Hybrid RM4,000–5,000 | EV RM1,500–2,500 — EVs have the lowest maintenance due to fewer moving parts
\n- New 2026 kW-based EV road tax: Entry EV 58kW = RM30/year | Mid EV 150kW = RM160/year | Premium EV 208kW = RM280/year — up to 85% cheaper than high-cc petrol equivalents
\n- EV premium has 'essentially vanished' for mid-range hatchbacks: Proton e.MAS 5 starts from RM56,800 vs Perodua Myvi at RM46,000–60,000 — price parity is here
\n- 5-year total cost calculator (20,000km/year, subsidised, 80% home charging): Petrol RM18,664 | Hybrid RM13,995 | EV RM14,442
\n- Verdict: Hybrid wins for most urban Malaysian drivers — saves approximately RM447 over 5 years vs EV, requires no lifestyle changes or charging infrastructure
\n- EV insurance is higher due to specialised repair costs; EV resale value faces steeper depreciation than petrol or hybrid equivalents
\n- RM2,500 personal income tax relief for EV charging expenses (including subscriptions) available until 2027 — proposed extension for another 10 years

\n\n- 每100公里能源成本（补贴RON95价格RM1.99/升）：汽油1.5升约RM14.20 | 混动1.5升约RM9.05 | 纯电动（家充TNB RM0.57/千瓦时）约RM8.80 | 纯电动（公共快充约RM1.50/千瓦时）约RM23.10
\n- 公共直流快充成本与未补贴汽油相当：按市价汽油（RM3.72/升），汽油约RM26.55/100公里 vs 公共电动车充电约RM23.10/100公里——几乎等价
\n- 5年保养成本：汽油RM3,500-4,500 | 混动RM4,000-5,000 | 电动车RM1,500-2,500——电动车因活动部件少而保养成本最低
\n- 2026年新千瓦时制电动车路税：入门级58千瓦=RM30/年 | 中级150千瓦=RM160/年 | 高端208千瓦=RM280/年——比高排量汽油车便宜高达85%
\n- 中级掀背车电动车溢价已「基本消失」：宝腾e.MAS 5起售RM56,800 vs Perodua Myvi RM46,000-60,000——价格持平已经到来
\n- 5年总成本计算（年行驶2万公里，补贴价格，80%家充）：汽油RM18,664 | 混动RM13,995 | 电动车RM14,442
\n- 结论：混动最适合大多数马来西亚城市驾驶者——5年比电动车节省约RM447，无需改变用车习惯或依赖充电基础设施
\n- 电动车保险费更高，因专业维修成本；电动车残值面临比汽油或混动更陡峭的折旧
\n- RM2,500个人所得税减免用于电动车充电费用（包括订阅费），有效期至2027年——建议再延长10年
