Prioritizing performance and reliability, BYD has successfully established itself as the No.1 Best-Selling Electric Vehicle (EV) in Malaysia for the past three consecutive years. Since its launch, BYD Sime Motors has expanded its network throughout the nation, totaling 35 BYD outlets to date.

Not only that, the number one D-segment electric SUV in Malaysia, the BYD SEALION 7 offers a sporty and futuristic drive that turns heads wherever you go, perfect for making a lifestyle statement. And to accommodate larger families who prioritize comfort and space, BYD M6, the nation’s number one electric MPV , is the ideal choice, offering a spacious 7-seater design.

The latest release, the BYD ATTO 3 ULTRA is the smart, all-electric SUV that combines sporty design, advanced technology and everyday versatility. With its strong track record as one of Malaysia’s best-selling EV and an enhanced value package, the BYD ATTO 3 ULTRA is well-positioned to remain a crowd favourite among electric vehicle buyers. The BYD ATTO 3 remains to be the best-selling EV model in Malaysia, which reaffirms its functionality, performance and reliability.

BYD not only offers stylish and comfortable driving experience, but they also do it without compromising safety. Often times, questions of safety may arise, “How do I know I’m safe in an electric-powered car?”. Rest assured that their Blade Battery is one of the safest EV batteries available in the world. The Blade Battery has been tested and has passed a series of tests including a rigorous nail penetration test, rigidity test and truck drive-over test, proving its durability.

Another question that typically comes hand-in-hand with electric vehicles is, “How do I keep the longevity of the battery, especially during longer car journeys?”. This fear most likely stems from the perception that there are limited charging infrastructures for electric-powered vehicles compared to fuel-powered vehicles. This range-anxiety is a common concern however, it is safe to say that Malaysia’s EV ecosystem is undergoing rapid growth, with new stations going into operation in public spaces like shopping malls and petrol stations, readily available for the EV community to use.

Alternatively, home chargers are always a good idea too! Many EV owners living in landed residences typically opt for home chargers which gives them the flexibility to charge their EVs overnight in the comfort of their own homes. There are a few factors which directly influence the energy usage of EVs including the individual’s driving habits and driving modes. So ultimately, the question of energy consumption and charging depends on how the owner would like to drive their EVs, whether it's for a relaxed, efficient cruise or a performance-driven experience with heavier acceleration.

Like a trusty and reliable safety net, BYD Sime Motors is always ready to provide owners with excellent after-sales support, ensuring that every stage, from purchase to maintenance, is handled with care, expertise and efficiency in Malaysia.
