Pib has a sharp eye 👁 for details. There are two true 👍 statements in the above post. Time to complete the puzzle. The V in the center of the car 🚗 might be a hint.

This morning's EV fire 🔥 to wake you up. Can anyone spot the brand? EV fire 🔥 Tracking - Thailand 1. BYD Seal - Ratchaburi roll-over 2..... - An EV fire is a fire in an EV, whether caused by technical fault, charging, accident, arson, internal and external reasons. What is NOT an EV fire? 1. A hybrid vehicle fire is not an EV fire. Even if the hybrid battery explode in a thermal runaway, it is still not an EV fire. 2. Electric motorcycles, scooters, bicycles are not counted as EV fires. 3. Electric busses, vans and boats are not counted as EV fires.

No assuming needed. The driver has been confirmed as female, so in other words an unavoidable accident. Nevertheless, still an EV fire 🔥.

It is your luck day 😊. The Ratchaburi EV fire was classified as a thermal runaway battery 🔋 fire 🔥.

That is correct and since you are high your house will also burn down, but that will be classified as a separate house fire.

Bit more on the Ratchaburi EV fire.

I don't see a cherry tree involved in the accident 🤷 . Just like ICE fires, all fires count. An9RP98PQWl6g3-FVf8iLm57oJnYj3IfMt9RJ2FVySq57QQrw3fHvC4jrhBbiB-KdN2S-s1fxrJ2HQc5tbpmNgc.mp4

Your personal agenda is irrelevant when tracking EV fires, but I guess we should have made a definition. - An EV fire is a fire in an EV, whether caused by technical fault, charging, accident, arson, internal and external reasons. What is NOT an EV fire? 1. A hybrid vehicle fire is not an EV fire. Even if the hybrid battery explode in a thermal runaway, it is still not an EV fire. 2.

That is a good start, now we just have to fill in the blank spot.

Are you saying that you have heard about all EV fires in Thailand? If so please share.

We do have the denominator in the fire/billion miles, but that was the easy part. Statistically we should have had 3 fires 🔥 by now, but I don't think Thailand has an agency tracking EV fires, so your guess is as good as mine.

It would be easier and cheaper just to raise Bangkok by a meter or two, by injecting water deep underground.

Texan Nightmare 👻 👽 😱. ...or according to my wife fried assorted vegetables aka a vegan dish.

With @JBChiangRai gone full Colonel Walter E. Kurtz and started a chicken farm with Freddy in 'Nam, I will use 6,000 miles/year for average EV mileage in Thailand 🇹🇭. At that rate, we just passed 600,000,000 miles. Congratulations 🎊.

Toyota is the king of the chart.

Yeah, that little problem needs to be sorted out. 5o5IhnsbFCfG7X0F.mp4

The calculation is of course hugely sensitive to estimated annual milage. If we can get consensus on a different number, I will happily 😊 change it. In more mature markets, statistical data shows that EVs drive 60-75% of the annual ICE milage. Assuming your numbers are mostly for ICE vehicles, how about 500 miles/month or 6,000 miles/year for EVs in Thailand?

I go to many play groups with my kids. Soon we will have the authorities bust through the door wearing full body armor and detain me for being a parent!

= 500,000,000 miles, as of today at noon.

Show your numbers then.

It is a calculated value, with a certain degree of uncertainty of course, but your number is way off. I used 8,000 km/year for EV average milage or 414 miles/month. Bear with me for the mix of units, but there is a good reason for that. Using the autolife registration numbers, each vehicle then gets full milage for the month of registrations. An EV registered in January 2022 have done (28 month + 16.5 days) x 414 miles. A February 2022 registrations gets 27 montsh and so forth. Vehicles registered in 2020 and 2021 starts from mid year, as I don't have monthly registrations data. Vehicles registered prior to 2020 are not included, again because I don't have the data.

Congratulations 🎊 to all EV owners in Thailand 🇹🇭. As of today, May 17th, 2024 at noon, the 115,411 registrated EVs in Thailand have collectively done 500,000,000 miles. 1/2 billion miles driven! 🥳 🎉 🪅 🎊 .

Does the source of the funds make a difference, if International School fees for own child is transferred from abroad directly to the (Thai) schools account? From a tax point of view, would it be better to use A or B, or it makes no difference? A. Long term savings account with funds dating back before January 1, 2024 B. Overseas salary account with funds mostly from 2024.

Just track every phone number in the area in the previous 48 hours would probably identify the murder or murders.
