Study Notes
Electric Vehicle (EV) Overview
- An Electric Vehicle (EV) is powered by an electric motor, drawing electricity from a battery and can be charged externally.
- EVs differ from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, primarily using electric power instead of gasoline or diesel.
Types of Electric Vehicles
- There are various types of EVs including Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs).
EV vs ICE Cost Analysis
- Average annual fuel costs:
- RON97 (ICE): ~RM 7,808
- RON95 (ICE): ~RM 5,335
- BEV with home charger: ~RM 4,725
- BEV charging on public: ~RM 3,825
- Cost comparisons show that BEV operates at 11.4% - 28.3% lower costs compared to RON95 and 39.5% - 51.0% lower than RON97.
Pros and Cons of Electric Vehicles
-
Pros:
- Zero tailpipe emissions contribute to lower air pollution.
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions when using clean energy sources.
- Reduced fueling costs; electricity is typically cheaper than gasoline.
- Fewer mechanical parts lead to lower maintenance costs.
-
Cons:
- Higher initial purchase costs due to advanced battery technology.
- Significant battery replacement costs may arise over time.
- Limited charging infrastructure in some regions.
- Longer refill time compared to traditional fuels.
TNB Electron Charging Station
- TNB Electron has recently opened five charging points along key routes, including R&R Tapah, Ayer Keroh, and Paka.
- Pricing for DC fast charging varies:
- R&R Tapah: RM2.05/min (80kW) & RM 2.35/min (100kW)
- R&R Ayer Keroh & R&R Paka: RM2.20/min (2 x 90kW)
- Juru Setia Sentral: RM1.50/kWh, 200kW
- AEON BiG Wangsa Maju: RM1.35/kWh, 47kW
EV Charger Activation and Locations
- TNB Electron chargers can be activated through the GO TO-U mobile app.
- Accessible locations include several R&R sites and designated Auto Bavaria locations, providing both DC fast charging and AC chargers.
Future of EV Charging
- Growth in EV charging infrastructure supports the increasing adoption of electric vehicles, enhancing travel convenience along major highways and urban areas.
