Perodua has announced that it is increasing the number of outlets that can collect bookings for its QV-E electric vehicle, from the nine locations originally identified at launch to 34 across the peninsula.
This comes after the automaker received healthy interest from potential customers for the EV, which was launched on December 1, prompting it to increase the number of locations where customers can book a test drive and make a reservation for the car.
Initially, the list of nine authorized outlets consisted of Perodua Sentral (PJ), Glenmarie and Putrajaya in the Klang Valley; Juru (Penang), Ipoh (Jalan Lahat), Senawang (N9) and Johor Bahru (Jalan Tampoi) on the west coast and Kota Bharu (Batu 4, Jalan Kuala Krai) and Kuantan on the east coast. The comprehensive list of locations is as shown in the panels below.
According to Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, the company is also incorporating manual bookings for the QV-E to simplify the process for customers. “We originally asked our customers to make their booking through our super app, P Circle, but some of our customers asked to include the normal booking pick-up option,” he said.
He added that the brand has come up with an infographic to simplify communication about the terms and conditions for its battery leasing program.
As previously highlighted, the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) charges a subscription fee of RM275 (all-in and final monthly price) per month for 108 months (nine years), with the price capped to ensure customers are protected from future price increases.
The electric battery will be fully serviced by Perodua as part of the package, and the automaker will also provide administrative assistance in transferring the BaaS subscription to a new owner, should the current owner wish to sell the QV-E. The Pre-Owned Vehicles Department will help remove the original owner’s name from the subscription program and register the new owner.
The company added that the 108 payment requirement is also transferable, meaning that if the current owner has already paid into the plan for 50 months, the new owner only needs to continue under the same plan for the remaining 58 months. Here is a more detailed overview of Perodua’s BaaS program.
