I mean the main drive battery. Is it LCO, LMO or the newer LFP?

What type of battery does your MG have?

Yep and the Reddit poster have a little heavier foot than LA and in the right unit. What was the comments on the Reddit post?

12.3 kWh/100 km is the correct value, it is just displayed in the wrong unit (km/kWh).

SeñorLA's MG is displaying the wrong unit for milage. Ur MG isn't doing the same?

The challenge for EU is not so much all the new name Chinese brands arriving in Europe, the real danger is if European manufacturers start producing EVs for the Europen market in China ????????. Then it is game over for the Europen car industry and million of jobs are lost

Very good and reasonable comment. I will be the first to admit that EVs look amazing when you see the new Tesla model S accelerate to 328 km/h, wow! EVs are new technology and it is natural to expect some pushback from a generation that have watched 20 seasons of Top Gear. As often pointed out, EVs are not for everyone, long distance travelers, if u haul heavy loads or live in condo where charging is complicated. The fact that governments are pushing EVs with tax rebates, lower road tax and other subsidies is also a sore point. EVs are often not as perfect as glittering sales brochures wants us to believe. MG is showing milage in the wrong unit, BYD have software glitches after an upgrade, etc. In 2020 China exported fewer cars than Thailand in 2023 China will overtake Japan as the worlds biggest car exporter. I have bought plenty of junk from China, only the future will tell if Chinese cars are any different. Hopefully MG/BYD owners will share if the honeymoon period last over the next 3-5 years.

Thanks, but what is 3. Store by weight? What is 4. Electric cars saying? U have a link?

How much are our finest MG owners currently paying for the yearly registration sticker? Us petrol ⛽️ heads are paying by engine volume. How are EVs charged, by weight? Engine kw?

If you are spending 6.67 baht/km on tires, you should release the handbrake.

To the 2 confused souls ???? out there, let's do the math. 10,000 baht/month x 12 month x 7 = 840k. 840k/135k km = 6.22 baht/km SeñorLA was ICE salesman of the century for a little while.

That is guaranteed to happen, but how? A special charging tariff is easy back in farang-land where the nanny state hear and see all, but not so easy in Thailand where people spin the meter backwards at will and monitor when the PEA guy does his rounds. Here they might recover the lost tax through the annual road tax. How much are our finest MG owners currently paying for the yearly registration sticker?

Good to have some positive vibes at the EV thread ✨️. It is a new technology and I can see it has a segment in the car market. For some people a pickup truck is the right car, others a station car, some need a family saloon. How about a hot hatchback, a SUV or why not, an EV? The "green" argument is total garbage and it is sad that many governments "force" us toward EVs. Let technology and free will decide the future of transportation.

I think you are missing a zero ????.

One2car have some weird pricing. There are also some new Mercedes listed more expensive than the official Mercedes price list. Could be old adds from before the price cut or just poor sales strategy from the vendor, similar to the condo market here. Below also don't make much sense.

Did you use one? Could be interesting to ask the driver what their average monthly milage is.

That is great ???? and when the Chinese rushed into this new industry and are mass producing cars faster than they can build ships to carry them away, they overnight adopted quality control and moved beyond long traditions of cost cutting? I honestly think it is great you enjoy your EV and your car might operate trouble free for as long as you need. I just fear the Chinese EV miracle might turn into a nightmare for some car owners. Even Japanese cars were junk when they first came along in the '60 and '70. Quality takes time.

Is battery leakage not a long term concern for our EV owners? Who haven't opened an old remote control or flashlight to find leaking batteries?

Probably as much energy as your MG is using to drive a Planck length.

Average milage is nearly 12,000 km/year for cars in Thailand, but data from more mature EV markets shows that EV drive 50-70% as far as ICE vehicles, so 8,000 km/year is a fair guesstimate.
