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 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 (effective immediately) 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.
