Support what? The phone/house vs. EV/power grid calculation?

Just drive more and you will save more.

Nope, evenly distributed.

Do you mind if I charge my phone at your house? Maybe you do, but if I still did it, you wouldn't be able to spot it in your electricity bill. How about 10 phones? No, let's make it 100 phones charging at your house. Each phone only charges for 1 hour/day, so on average 4 phones are charging at any given time. Your meter and main breaker board can easily handle it. 1,000 phones are probably also doable. Assuming you are using 800 kWh/month, 1 phone at your house is the equivalent to 62,500 EVs added to the Thai power grid.

That is admittedly a nice car although a hardtop suits Thailand better. This begs the question, why haven't BMW and Mercedes build a car like that? Are we seeing a "Nokia" moment for the legacy auto-makers or are the Chinese blowing smoke and mirrors ?????

Why not getting a breaker with RCBO/ELCB?

I am also considering getting a home BP monitor, but unsure which one. Can you recommend one? Is the below OMRON HEM-7120 a good choice? Check out OMRON HEM-7120 เครื่องวัดความดัน(Cuff22-32cm...at 20% off!฿1,318.00 only!Get it on Lazada now! | https://s.lazada.co.th/s.PcF5i

Congratulations on your new vehicle. Your choice is well throughout and I think you picked the right car, model, size and time to buy. What color did you get it in? The delivery time and Free warranty is mind-boggling. Please keep us posted over the years if BYD honor this commitment. Which dealer/showroom did you use? Will be interesting to see if you go full EVangelist and let cobwebs take over the old Fortuner.

I bought two 4-20 mA submersible Chinese pressure transducers, both lasted less than 2 month before water ingress killed them. Magic unicorns ???? ✨️ must roam freely around the Chinese EV industry if it is totally OK to dip your HIGH voltage batteries in water from time to time.

Sure, but probably with money ???? they scammed out of Chevron. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-thailand-chevron-idUSKBN26N1V5

To be fair, the BTS/MRT are amazing infrastructure projects with high quality foreign made rolling stock.

There were also the 2 billion baht firetruck dispute between BMA and an Austrian company. As for Hopewell, there we fault on both sides. The state railway were slow at handing over land for construction but the '97 Asian crises also left Hopewell in no hurry to invest further in Thailand.

Looks like a pole torpedo to me.

This could be the opening Russia and possibly China have been waiting for. There are already sign that a second round of mobilization is coming in Russia so they can reinforce over the winter. Will China pull the trigger on Taiwan? Spring has the best weather in the strait, time will tell.

I truly admire your faith in the the Chinese fortune cookie ???? battery claims, but for us humble souls that live in the present, we just have to wait a few years to see actual results. On a more serious note, please share how the SoH is accurately measured? Can you run the battery down to 10% charge it to 90% and just measure how much KwH were used and then extrapolate to 100%? Some power is however lost during the charging process. It was earlies discussed how a German company attach a data box that follow the battery over a few charging cycles and then estimate SoH, so no a simple and cheap test.

It is a Chinese car after all, so future promises hold no present value. When owners after 7 years get half the original range, BYD will hook up a fancy ching ding ding machine that shows the battery ???? is still 82% good ????. Bye bye, have nice day ???? ????. You buy latest model BYD Attaboy 1000, have better warranty.

BOT joined the party at noon. Would be interesting to know how much they spend defending the baht.

You do know that the BYD warranty only cover some parts for 6 months, 1 year, 3 and 4 years, right?

At some point peace talk will commence. Ukriane is dead centered on regaining Crimea, but they might have to let the Russians have Sevastopol as a naval base, similar to the Americans having Guantanamo in Cuba.

How did the BYD test drive go? I am impressed by how many km you have put on the Fortuner, the best wine shops must be far from your home.

Interesting and odd at the same time. Not sure why the two quotations differ so much. Maybe someone with more insurance experience can enlighten us?

Hitting the news reel. The BOT might spring into action. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/emerging-markets-thai-baht-falls-most-among-asian-currencies

What are duck ???? eggs good for? They feel more rubbery when fried sunny side up.

Maybe it is just a move prior to the FED rate decision just after midnight tonight.
