Perodua increases EV localisation, benefits passed to QV-E customers

Rawang, 15 June: Perodua, along with its automotive ecosystem have managed a major localisation shift resulting in better efficiency to its first BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle).

"Perodua and its local vendors have been able to manufacture a significant number of parts locally, and this means that we can further protect local jobs while be less dependent on foreign technology and supply chains," Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato' Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said.

"This development is important as we can now build a more resilient inventory of spare parts - especially the car body parts - to ensure that customers can rely on readily available domestically produced items when they need it," he said.

Perodua has also managed to increase production to above 500 units a month.

"Due to localisation, we are able to further optimise our operations, and we are now sharing those benefits with our valued customers," he said.

"The new price for the QV-E will be RM93,999 to own outright or RM69,999 (body only) plus a monthly RM215 (with tax) Battery as a Service (BAAS) package (for 9 years).

"However, for a limited time, we will introduce a special price to help with the increase in the cost of living," Dato' Sri Zainal said.

He explained that during that limited time, Perodua will give a special price of RM87,499 to completely own the QV-E or RM63,499 with Battery as a Service (BAAS) package, with a monthly fee of RM215 per month (including tax) for 9 years. This offer will end on 30 September 2026.

The BAAS package offers a comprehensive EV battery package that includes a comprehensive protection coverage for the battery, disposal and replacement of battery, and battery insurance throughout the package's tenure.

The BAAS is offered to give customers peace of mind by allowing Perodua to manage the EV battery throughout their ownership experience during the 9-year leasing period.

"For those who wants to buy the QV-E on outright purchase, Perodua does offer to buy the battery when comes the time to dispose of it (the battery)," Dato' Sri Zainal said.

The QV-E, which has a 5-star ASEAN-NCAP rating, uses a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery (52.5kW) and has a range capacity of up to 445KM (NEDC) depending on driving style, temperature and road conditions.

The QV-E excels at driving mid to long-range driving without the need for frequent charges, which can extend the life of the battery.

As for QV-E existing customers, they will be given a special refund, and they will be contacted by their respective sales advisors soon.

He said the existing QV-E customers will see their monthly BAAS fee reduced to RM215 per month from RM275 previously. The new monthly payment of RM215 will come into effect on their next payment cycle.

"We welcome Malaysians to download our P-Circle super app to book their QV-E or visit any of our authorised sales showrooms nationwide to know more about this great deal," he concluded.

Perodua pertingkat kandungan tempatan EV, manfaat kepada pelanggan QV-E

Rawang, 15 Jun: Perodua, bersama-sama dengan ekosistem automotifnya, telah melakukan perubahan dalam kandungan tempatan yang membawa kepada kecekapan yang lebih baik terhadap kenderaan bateri elektrik (BEV) pertama keluaran syarikat itu.

"Perodua dan vendor-vendor tempatan telah berjaya mengeluarkan komponen alat ganti dalam jumlah yang signifikan, dan ini bermakna kami boleh terus melindungi pekerjaan tempatan dan mengurangkan kebergantungan terhadap teknologi dan bekalan rantaian asing," kata Presiden dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Perodua, Dato' Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad.

"Perkembangan ini penting kerana kami kini boleh menyimpan inventori komponen alat ganti yang lebih besar - terutamanya bahagian badan kenderaan - untuk memastikan pelanggan boleh bergantung kepada alat ganti yang sudah tersedia di peringkat domestik apabila diperlukan," katanya.

Perodua juga telah berjaya meningkatkan pengeluaran kepada lebih 500 unit sebulan.

"Peningkatan dalam kandungan tempatan itu juga membolehkan kami mengoptimumkan operasi, dan kami kini mahu berkongsi manfaat berkenaan dengan pelanggan yang dihargai," katanya.

"Harga baharu QV-E untuk pemilikan penuh adalah RM93,999 atau RM69,999 menerusi pakej Battery as a Service (BAAS) dengan tambahan bayaran bulanan sebanyak RM215 (termasuk cukai) selama 9 tahun.

"Bagaimanapun, kami memperkenalkan harga khas untuk tempoh terhad bagi membantu pengguna yang berhadapan dengan kenaikan kos sara hidup," kata Dato' Sri Zainal.

Beliau berkata sepanjang tempoh terhad itu, Perodua memberikan harga khas sebanyak RM87,499 untuk pemilikan penuh QV-E atau RM63,499 dengan pakej BAAS dengan bayaran bulanan sebanyak RM215 (termasuk cukai) selama 9 tahun. Tawaran ini akan berakhir 30 September 2026.

Pakej BAAS menawarkan pakej bateri EV yang komprehensif merangkumi perlindungan untuk bateri, penghapusan dan penggantian serta insurans bateri sepanjang tempoh sewaan.

BAAS ditawarkan untuk memberi ketenangan kepada pelanggan dengan menyerahkan kepada Perodua untuk menguruskan bateri EV mereka sepanjang tempoh sewaan 9 tahun.

"Bagi mereka yang mahu membeli QV-E secara pemilikan penuh, Perodua turut menawarkan pembelian bateri apabila sudah sampai masa untuk ia dihapuskan," kata Dato' Sri Zainal.

QV-E yang memperoleh penarafan 5 bintang dari ASEAN-NCAP menggunakan bateri Lithium Iron Phosphate (52.5kW) dengan julat perjalanan sehingga 445 kilometer (NEDC) bergantung kepada cara pemanduan, suhu dan keadaan jalan.

QV-E sesuai digunakan untuk pemanduan sederhana dan jauh tanpa kerap dicas, yang mana ia boleh memanjangkan jangka hayat bateri.

Sementara itu, bagi pelanggan sedia ada QV-E, mereka akan mendapat pulangan wang khas dan penasihat jualan Perodua akan menghubungi mereka secepat mungkin.

Beliau berkata pelanggan sedia ada QV-E juga bakal menikmati pengurangan komitmen bulanan BAAS kepada RM215 sebulan daripada RM275 sebelum ini. Bayaran baharu ini akan berkuatkuasa untuk tempoh pembayaran seterusnya.

"Kami mengalu-alukan rakyat Malaysia untuk muat turun super app P-Circle kami untuk menempah QV-E atau lawati bilik pameran berdaftar kami di seluruh negara untuk mendapatkan maklumat lanjut mengenai tawaran ini," katanya.
