  • 5-Year TCO Comparison: At 20,000 km/year, Hybrid costs RM13,995 (cheapest), EV costs RM14,442, and Petrol (subsidized) costs RM18,664 in total ownership costs
  • Energy Costs: Home-charged EV at RM8.80/100km is cheapest; petrol (subsidized) at RM14.20/100km; public DC fast charging at RM23.10/100km eliminates most EV savings
  • Fuel Prices (June 2026): Subsidized RON95 at RM1.99/L, market rate at RM3.72/L — price difference significantly impacts petrol vs EV economics
  • Maintenance: EVs are cheapest at RM1,500-2,500 over 5 years (no oil, spark plugs, radiator flush); petrol RM3,500-4,500; hybrid RM4,000-5,000
  • Road Tax (New System): EV road tax holiday ended Dec 2025; new kW-based system is up to 85% cheaper than high-cc petrol — entry EV (58 kW) pays only RM30/year vs RM90 for 1.5L petrol
  • Insurance: EV premiums are higher due to battery pack repair costs; resale value steeper depreciation than petrol models
  • Best Choice by Profile: Budget buyers → Petrol; urban commuters → Hybrid; landed property with home charger + high mileage + long-term ownership → EV
  • Key Insight: Public DC fast charging at ~RM1.50/kWh makes EVs more expensive to run than hybrids — home charging is essential for EV economics to work

  • 5年总成本对比: 年行驶2万公里，混合动力最省（RM13,995），电动车RM14,442，汽油车（补贴价）RM18,664
  • 能源成本: 家庭充电电动车每百公里RM8.80最便宜；汽油车（补贴价）RM14.20；公共快充RM23.10，基本抵消电动车节省的成本
  • 燃油价格（2026年6月）: 补贴RON95每升RM1.99，市场价RM3.72——价格差异显著影响汽油vs电动车经济性
  • 保养费用: 电动车5年最低RM1,500-2,500（无需机油、火花塞、冷却液）；汽油车RM3,500-4,500；混动RM4,000-5,000
  • 路税（新制度）: 电动车路税假期已于2025年12月结束；新千瓦制度比高排量汽油车便宜85%——入门电动车（58千瓦）年路税仅RM30
  • 保险: 电动车保费较高（电池维修成本），二手残值贬值幅度大于汽油车
  • 最佳选择: 预算有限→汽油车；城市通勤→混动；有车库充电桩+高里程+长期持有→电动车
  • 关键发现: 公共快充每度RM1.50让电动车运行成本高于混动——家庭充电是电动车经济性的关键
