The Perodua QV-E has reportedly secured 1,700 bookings, according to Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd (HLIB), suggesting that interest in Perodua’s first EV may be picking up after its recent price revision.
However, HLIB did not specify whether the 1,700 bookings are cumulative since the QV-E was first launched, or if they were recorded after Perodua revised the EV’s pricing last month. Based on JPJ data, only 182 units of the QV-E had been registered as of 31 May 2026. June registration data has yet to be updated.
Last month, Perodua revised the QV-E’s pricing following increased localisation. For a limited time, the QV-E is priced at RM 87,499 for outright purchase, which includes the vehicle and battery.
Customers can also choose the Battery as a Service package, which lowers the vehicle price to RM 63,499, with a monthly battery subscription fee of RM 215 including tax for nine years. The limited-time offer is valid until 30 September 2026.
After the offer period, the QV-E will be priced at RM 93,999 for outright purchase, or RM 69,999 for the body-only option with BaaS. The monthly BaaS fee will remain at RM 215 including tax for nine years.
When the QV-E was first introduced, it was priced at RM 80,000 on-the-road without insurance, excluding the EV battery. The battery was previously offered through the BaaS package at RM275 per month.
For existing QV-E customers, Perodua said the monthly BaaS fee would also be reduced from RM 275 to RM 215, with the new monthly payment taking effect from the next payment cycle. Existing customers are also set to receive a special refund.
HLIB also noted that Perodua currently has an order backlog of about 43,000 units, supported by healthy new order intake. The investment bank also said the recently launched Perodua Traz has received encouraging demand.
As a recap, the QV-E is powered by a front-mounted motor producing 204 PS and 285 Nm. It does 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, making it Perodua’s most powerful and quickest-accelerating model to date, with a top speed of 165 km/h.
The motor is paired with a 52.5 kWh CATL lithium iron phosphate battery. Perodua quotes a driving range of up to 445 km on the NEDC cycle, depending on driving style, temperature and road conditions.
For charging, the QV-E supports DC fast charging at up to 60 kW, taking the battery from 30 to 80% in 30 minutes. AC charging is rated at 6.6 kW, with a full 0 to 100% charge taking around eight hours.
