10-130, with 100% uncertainty? You need to do better than that.

Seriously? I thought we were done spewing that per sales garbage ???? statistics. Per billion miles, Tesla EV are 10 times less likely to burn than ICE vehicles. As for Chinese EVs, we don't know yet, since only false or at best unreliable numbers are coming out of China. By the end of 2024 we should have enough EVs on the road in Thailand to draw some sort of conclusion.

The devil ???? might be in the details. Does it include 3rd party coverage and if so what is the coverage ceiling?

There can only be one winner ????.

The answer is actually square in the middle of your two numbers 1 in 40,000 EVs will catch fire pre year if it is a Tesla. For the Chinese brands, we don't know yet. I have also been wondering about the insurance liability. Historically insurance claims have always been based on accident fault. But who is at fault if the vehicle selv-ignite and burn down 5 cars next to it? The EV owner, who did nothing wrong? The car manufacturer? The other car owners cover their own cost? The charging station, even if working as per design?

Most condos in Thailand have 3-7 floor of parking with 2-400 cars right under hundreds of sleeping residents. As the recent Hanoi fire shows that can be a dangerous and deadly combination. The fire suppressing system is made to control a single vehicle fire, but what will happen when half the cars are EVs and a chain reaction starts? Fire regulations sure needs to be updated to reflect this new thread. A firewall every 3rd vehicle could be a solution.

Let me know if you need help kicking the 20" tires on the Volvo, I will also be at CTW tomorrow.

Volvo is showing their EX30 and C40 models at Central World, but I see a few flaws, NCM batteries, made in China ???????? and price ????.

Is there a price list? All I see is adds and them pushing their app.

Don't forget the R rating.

Smuggled in from where? China? Non refrigerated containers? Sound similar to the NY case in 2019. https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/new-jersey/2019/03/16/one-million-pounds-smuggled-pork-china-seized-nj-port-african-swine-fever/3185268002/

Who is paying for this party? Oil ???? is about to hit $100.

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.
