Summary of "Overthinking Punca Aku Menyesal Pakai Kereta EV?!"

Quick verdict

Overall positive first impression after about one month of ownership. The IC03 (marketed in some regions as the Jaeku J6) is a comfortable, solid-feeling electric AWD SUV with practical cargo flexibility and a pleasing driving feel (minimal body roll for its height). Main reservations are EV charging convenience, some feature compromises versus the newer V23 sibling, and delivery/availability delays.

Recommendation

Good choice if you want an affordable mid-size EV SUV with comfortable seats (massage/ventilation on higher trim), flexible cargo space and a large infotainment screen with CarPlay/Android Auto. Expect some dealer wait times and the usual EV trade-offs around public charging availability and potential queuing. Test drive first and pick the spec that matches your priorities (higher spec adds comfort and sound for roughly a RM10k premium).

Notes: subtitles were auto-generated and occasionally inconsistent; verify specific feature availability per trim with the dealer (e.g., presence of a wireless charger, sunroof, or particular infotainment configuration).
