Perodua is increasing the number of sales outlets that can collect QV-E bookings to 34 selected locations in Peninsular Malaysia from its original 9 outlets in order to assist customers book their first Perodua EV.

“We have received healthy interest from potential customers from across the country, and we are now expanding our reach to include more locations so that our customers can book test drives and reserve their very own Perodua QV-E,” Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said.

He said that Perodua is including manual bookings to simplify the process for its customers.

“Originally, we requested our customers to make their booking through our super-app, P Circle, but some of our customers asked to include the normal option of booking collection,” Dato’ Sri Zainal said.

He said that Perodua is also looking to simplify its terms and conditions for its battery leasing programme through an infographic explanation.

The BAAS is an independent service that is aimed to protect the customer and the environment. It charges a RM275 subscription (all-in and final monthly price) fee per month for 108 months (9 years).

On the payment amount, Perodua has capped the subscription to RM275 to ensure the customers are protected from future price hikes.

In addition, the electric battery will be wholly maintained by Perodua as part of the package designed to give peace of mind even beyond the 9-year period.

Perodua will also provide the administration assist in transferring the BAAS subscription to a new owner.

For example: if the current owner wishes to sell their Perodua QV-E, the Perodua’s Pre-Owned Vehicle Department will de-list the original owner’s name from the subscription programme and register the new owner.

The 108-payment requirement is also transferable, meaning if the current owner has already paid 50 months for the plan, then the new owner only needs to continue the 58 months remaining under the same plan.

Dato’ Sri Zainal said that the BAAS programme is Perodua’s commitment towards the safety and convenience of Perodua’s customers, while at the same time helping to preserve the environment by taking responsibility of the battery.
