Another thing is that they treat the big battery as an engine. If the car is off then relays isolate it from the rest of the system. These relays need 12V power to activate the pack when the car is turned on.

Do electric cars have 12V batteries? - EV Central

Salamat. Maganda may 12V battery condition monitor/indicator din sa dash. Para alam na papalitan na, walang bulaga.

^ This. I hope na these Hybrids or EVs that are coming to market will have the appropriate warning lights on dash kung may issue, not just the main Battery pack, but also the 12V Battery.

The only precaution we do for 12V Battery (for ICE Vehicles) to notice they need replacement is when we encounter hard starting na. So papaano kung wala nang "starting" nangyayari na driver initiated to the vehicle. They have to have thought of this at least nowadays with the further developments and improvements to these types of vehicles.

The Nissan Kicks will start at P1.209-M in PH | TopGear PH

Considering that the Kicks e-Power is nearly the size of the Corolla Cross, the pricing seems to be very competitive. Let's hope the features are the same as, or at least close enough, to the hybrid Corolla Cross (which has Toyota Safety Sense).

What we know for sure is that the Kicks will likely have better acceleration and torque (at 0 rpm, too). That alone makes it poised to be a disruptor in the market if the listed prices are to be believed.

as per TopGear

The VL and VE also get Nissan Intelligent Mobility features like the around-view monitor, forward collision warning, emergency braking, and driver attention alert. The top-spec VL gets automatic headlights, leather seats, six speakers, and front foglights.

so yes, that's very competitive.

I guess Kicks will also have an electronic parking brake

I'm hoping this pushes Toyota PH to release a Corolla Cross with a 360 camera
