Sometimes things seem too good to be true. Police, through their Cyber Crime Alert Royal Malaysia Police Facebook page, have said the Mini EV X2 that recently went viral on social media could turn into a scam.
At first glance, the city car looks promising, both in terms of price and specs. Cost RM13,800 (A big cut from the alleged retail price of RM18,800), and customers may even choose to finance the car over a nine-year period. Customer confidence is enhanced by the rather elegant website, that is, until you click on the “Payment Instructions” tab.
In our original story, we raised concerns about the legitimacy of this sale, primarily due to the lack of documentation and contact information on its website. Also, the payment tab only provides the company name followed by a CIMB bank account number; nothing else except for a live chat feature for customers to provide proof of payment.
In fact, our media friend Abang Gan from PanduLaju.com.my He said the company has not filed any application with the JPJ to obtain a valid Vehicle Type Approval Certificate (VTA), meaning that even if all of this is valid, the Mini EV X2 cannot legally drive on Malaysian roads. .
Just to recap quickly, the Mini EV X2 is a rear-wheel drive electric car that claims to offer up to 120km of range and can simply be charged via a household plug (up to 80% charge in five hours; a full charge) charging takes eight hours).
However, it takes 25 seconds to go from zero to its maximum speed of 50 km / h, but a “high speed” version raises that threshold to 80 km / h. Also, the on-board battery is only rated for 800 full recharge cycles, while the battery in a Tesla Model 3, for example, has a minimum recharge cycle of 1,500 times.
Other unique features include an all-digital instrument cluster, automatic LED headlights, a large nine-inch touchscreen, reversing camera, and a claimed 850-liter carbs space. It is also available in six colors. But if you ask us, we will tell you, skip this and move on.
