Mercury1 Turbocharged August 21, 2015 Share August 21, 2015 Looking at Daywalkers extensive list of cars I believe that criteria is satisfied With the current limitation on electric cars I would opt for either hybrid or just a normal petrol/diesel, I will keep staring to check the battery level every 2 mins not exactly stress free driving, only advantage I see is that you can park 2nd floor @ Parkway Parade. For me, the 1st condition of getting i3 is own a landed property. Otherwise, no way gonna charge the battery except thru REX . ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries about battery level lah. If you charge every night (like your mobile), should not be a problem. For i3, it is REx. No worries about driving to Malaysia. Nowadays, there is even plug-in hybrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker 3rd Gear August 22, 2015 Share August 22, 2015 Thanks, guys! Yes the Singapore i3 has the "range extender" so i think to use it as a city car in Singapore should be fine. No range anxiety there... Test drove the car and the ride is really silent and pick up is fast Realized that there is a charging point in my office car park so that is a bonus haha Cheers! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashbang Turbocharged August 31, 2015 Share August 31, 2015 http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/08/tesla-model-s-uk-right-hand-drive/ There's actually RHD Tesla Model S available... I reckon it's a matter of time before Tesla comes back to SG. Being a small city-state it's the perfect location for electric vehicles. A range of 300km on an electric vehicle is "puny" in other countries but can probably last you 5 days in SG, which is decent. Hope to see Tesla back in SG once the government starts to really push electric vehicles as alternatives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyklon 5th Gear September 9, 2015 Share September 9, 2015 Tesla model S is unlikely to make it here...our LTA is highly unfriendly towards electric car. The road tax for electric cars is calculated by power if the electric motor output more power than the engine, or when there is no engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, unless you're going to get the Nobel Peace Prize for reducing pollution, it's just not worth it in Singapore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fully loaded i8 is around EUR 140 - 150k. So, Tesla is not too ex if can afford i8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
