Electric Vehicles in Thailand
ExpatOilWorker replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The EV charging station at my building is great π as a pitstop area to prep the Bimmer for the road trip. Is it a fast charger? -

I am also cheering for higher April sales, as our esteemed Chiang Rai member claims we won't see 3 consecutive months of declining EV sales in his lifetime. I think we have to see all of 2024 sales before we can draw any conclusions, maybe even 2025 sales numbers. There are a lot of unknowns, price cutting, newer and smaller models, shifting political will, economic slowdown, Chinese factories opening up, or possibly delaying opening up. For now it is just a bit up and down, but nevertheless fun to follow. -

I will help him cut a few Coke Zero cans and stick them on as exhaust pipes, so the MG doesn't feel so naked next to the Bimmer. -

Keep on dreaming. EV sales were exactly 10.6% of total sales both in February and March, 2024. Legacy auto manufacturers are doing great π, thanks for asking. Total Returns over last year... Toyota: +71% Stellantis: +65% Ferrari: +56% Honda: +40% GM: +24% BMW: +14% Ford: +13% Mercedes-Benz: +11% Tesla: -20% -

The Bimmer will be rolling by Saturday morning so you might wake up to the roaring in-line 6 cylinders. We will be stopping at this PTT (https://maps.app.goo.gl/7wvDmAo7jiYMJi157) to top up the 750 kWh power pack, offload some vomit and have breakfast at the Black Canyon, if you want to meet the EOW clan. The vomit is from the two years old, she doesn't yet fully appreciate the smooth Bimmer ride. -
Nope, she doesn't have a sister, she has two sisters!

All the food shared here looks delicious, the wife just take pride in her plating. She wanted to repeat the beef tenderloin, but this time with hollandaise sauce.

Total respect for the commitment and faith you have in your Chinese "tech". You should have about 30,000 km on the odometer by now, right? Most ICEVs will do 100,000 km without much service. Let's see if the MG can make it to the magic 100k mark, if not I can with almost certainty guarantee you that the tow truck that will scoop up the MG will run on that magic jurassic dino juice. -

The Tesla needed 14 motors and 4 battery packs to complete a million miles. The MG in the south will need all the luck in the world π to complete 2,500 battery cycles and close to a million km. -

That is shocking π² low, but maybe the promotional numbers only show up in April. I believe the DLT numbers don't include cars on red plates, which could easily include most March sales. -

SeΓ±orLA, we know details is not your thing, but the sales numbers are from February and yes they are abysmal. The Ciaz discount started March 1st, so we will have to wait for our DLT expert to get the March registration numbers. -

@Pib, since you master the DLT site, can you pull out the Suzuki Ciaz registrations numbers for March? I am curious to see how effective the 150k discount were. -

Probably a translation issue, but what are they trying to say? All ACs have 100% humidity and condensation. Not so happy MG owner: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/YMEHh5g4ntZrYHFw/?mibextid=qi2Omg -
