The GWM Tank is an ultra minor HEV with a tiny 1.7 kWh battery.

The wife cooked breakfast today, so no bacon, but some avocado bread 😋.

Gman, nice to see you again. I do acknowledge that EV are selling like hot cakes in Thailand and that the Thai charcking infrastructure is more than adequate, actually it is world class and very impressive. My interest is where will it end, when the dust settled. The Chinese EV manufacturers are whining like babies while at the same time they are dumping prices out of desperation to sell their vehicles. Something will eventually break. I am all for honest and factual information and data. Cherry 🍒 picking and propaganda, not so much. This is Central World today, you want to join and kick some tires?

Since the beginning of time only BEVs were considered EVs in Thailand 🇹🇭. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is hybrids excellent ability to burst into flames 🔥 that was the reason they were not initially associated with EVs. You can contact @JBChiangRai, he is the expert on inflated hybrid fire 🔥 data.

PHEV are starting to dominate the "EV" sales numbers, which is funny 😁 since just a year ago nobody would consider a PHEV as an EV. 1,345,205 global EV sales in July. July 2024 saw passenger car and light duty vehicle sales decrease by 6% month-on-month to 1.35 million units. This decrease was driven by the EU & EFTA & UK, which experienced a 28% decline. Ireland was the only country in the EU & EFTA & UK region to experience a month-on-month increase in EV sales with the release of new registration plates in July encouraging the purchase of new vehicles.

You got EV propaganda posting stutter or is the broken record your new image now? EVs had an OK'ish H1, but the downfall started in July. Global popcorn 🍿 sales 😋 will should be doing well.

I guess you should ask @mistral53 and @Bandersnatch, they started the whole global discussion. I am just the FactCheck which for obvious reasons is unwanted substance for the EV propaganda machine.

While we all appreciate the entertainment of you trying to spin some new EV propaganda, it is absolute hilarious that @Bandersnatch came clean and informed us of the falling market share for EVs in July 2024. Priceless entertainment 👌 🤣 😆 😂.

I know cherry 🍒 picking is in your DNA, but we are talking global sales here.

Funny how the cherry 🍒 farmer highlighted a month with collapsing EV sales. The EV propaganda machine must be in septic shock 😲 now that EV sales are falling globally.

BEV + PHEV had a 18% market share for the entire year in 2023 and then @Bandersnatch kindly informs us that sales had collapscollapsed to 14.8% in July 2024. Down is the way forward for EVs.

The subsidies are not only for imported EVs, but also for domestic produced EVs, right?

In 2023 EV+HPEV had a 18% (almost 1:5) market share, but then I July 2024 it dropped to 1:7 according to the cherry 🍒 farmer. I love it when you guys provide solid data for the failure of EVs. Thanks 😊.

1:7, even when including PHEV is solid proof that the EV fantasy is over. In 2023 it was almost 1:5, so EV's market share globally is falling 😊 😃 😀 😄.

Odd are stacked against you, but time will tell. I doubt we will even see 3 months in a row with 20% EV market share.

When is EV3.5 due to expire and it that the end of freebies or is there an EV4.0 in the shadows?

Thailand's 🇹🇭 30/30 plan/dream is to have 30% EV sales by 2030. Both Vinny and myself thinks that will never happen. As long as the EV price war rages on I think we will see numbers creeping up towards 20%, but the moment reality sets in and the subsidy sweet pot dries up and EV manufacturers run out of price bullets, sales will fall again. 50%, not Chinaman's chance in hell.

Thanks @✌️ , I am moved by your kind words 😊. You are not missing anything, EV sales, as your charts indicate, have been and are still growing. The real question is, if it will continue so or are reaching a plateau. You do raise an important point. We are in the middle of a war, not ur war, nor Ukraine, but the all out EV price war. At the moment EV prices are falling, if not crashing, but how long will it last? Will subsidies continue or is the Thai government tired of paying the bills. Is EV3.5 still in effect and will subsidies continue in 2025?

atpeace is atwar.

In other words, sales are high in countries with high subsidies and EVs are falling flat on their face and faling when they have to compete on a level playing field with ICE.

That is old school. The future is hybrid baby.

May I present the solution to your Wyoming problem, the ultra long range EV. Made for guys that go the extra mile. An844yKXermNrLzZJzCNRrhZUgkO8PuhEJXWom5l5bJr8myDmhOUmCIoYpNqUcLiJGn-JLP2sWq-0uZSO_XdapgT.mp4
