  1. Best Selling passenger vehicles in November By segment - mixed EV and ICE:
  2. I also registered and I’m please to see that BYD is currently charging ฿8/kWh which would explain why on New Year’s Eve 4 chargers at my local dealer are free. When I registered it asked me to enter my 17 digit vin I was pleasantly surprised that the vin on the Seal has a QR code to allow copy the code and paste it in
  3. Apologies that this video is in Thai. If it offends you, try watching with the sound off. The first 2 minute summary is all you need to watch The video is about PTT’s newest station, with EV support designed in and not added as an afterthought. I particularly like the solar roof canopy, 6 fast EV chargers, BYD showroom, healthy food options.
  4. I’ve had solar thermal at my house in Surin for 6 years. 200L insulated tank. Has an immersion heater for topping up the heat but have never used it. The water circulates via convection pushing colder water out of the tank to be reheated. Water from my rainwater tanks is pumped through a filter system to fill 2 500L tanks. The float sensor keeps the tanks filled. Cold water from these tanks is pumped to the solar thermal system via a demand pump the also pumps cold water around the house. All my bathrooms that require hot water and the kitchen are located together on the ground floor and share a wet wall. There is no pump to send the hot water out as it’s naturally pressurized.
  5. Not an EV hater but you are clearly an “EV owner hater” This is a thinly veiled attack on me and now the second time you have posted it. You failed to acknowledge that I accepted the points that made when they were supported by evidence, which is all I was asking for. I accepted the points you made on the EVs in Thailand discussion and you call that “throw they toys out of the pram because someone posts concerns about EVs” You are still a “hater” in my book
  6. The Growatt SPF5000ES inverters now cost ฿23,000 each The nRuit 9kWh LiFePO4 Batteries cost me ฿68,000 each over 2 years ago, but I’m sure they are cheaper now. I have been off-grid for 6 years and my system powers 2 electric cars and an electric motorbike bike.
  7. Part 2 coming soon. You don’t need to buy an expensive EV as bi-directional charging is increasingly available on reasonable priced EVs like the MG4
  8. This I am familiar with. I was discussing it just the other day with a guy who I’ve done a podcast with in Australia, he has now arranged to import them into Australia.
  9. Firstly, thank you for posting the links. I have seen your original example several times, but nobody had posted any other evidence up to now. Maybe there is something to this story. Perhaps those of us who own atto 3s and Dolphins can’t keep an eye out for other examples. I own a Seal and I’m a member of three Thai facebook groups and have never seen anything like this. I didn’t tell you to shut up, I told you to back up your story or shut up, you chose the former. I don’t need to, the EV haters do plenty of that, I spend my time trying to keep this valuable discussion on topic and challenging those who post baseless claims. I would hardly call myself a social influencer with only 1,000 subscribers and an unmonetized channel.
  10. Prove that you don’t just make stuff all the time by backing up your statement. Post pictures of “Many Reports” here in Thailand of rat damage to BYD Batteries. This is why EV owners have got no time for EV haters - everything they say is hearsay or BS Prove me wrong or shut up.
  11. I have seen that exact shaped hole a few times, but never any others so we are all looking forward to you proving that you are not making stuff up as usual by posting “many” pictures of atto 3 batteries with different shaped holes. What we are looking at here is not the bottom of the battery as many have claimed but the top. To access it the rat would have come at it from inside the car. It is clear that the battery top cover has not been removed, so no investigation work has been out. This battery might have been able to be repaired by replacing a single chewed wire. This is quite a good video explaining the structure of the atto 3 battery starting at 0:51 Maybe by the same guy that @Andrew Dwyer mentioned above.
  12. So in this case the owner got paid by the insurance company who decided to write off the car. That is not to say that the battery pack has no value. EVs in Thailand have only been selling in any numbers for 3 or 4 years and there are not enough older and crash damaged cars about to develop an aftermarket. A good example of how this works is what is happening in the UK with Nissan Leafs, expect to see something similar here in Thailand in the not too distant future.
  13. House is single phase. I knew I was going to install solar, so no point spending ฿100,000 installing three phase.
  14. Did you see any of my videos about using my BYD Seal to power my home. I can power the house all night and it takes less than an hour to charge it back from my solar system.
  15. Over half a million electric vehicles on Thai streets At the International Motor Expo 40% of people who reserved a car chose an electric vehicles. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40033855
  16. All I've seem from your posts so far is that you want to take this discussion off-topic so I will not waste any more of my time replying to you.
  17. The Title of this Discussion is "Electric Vehicles in Thailand" Please keep your posts to EVs in Thailand. Nobody here is interested in what insurance companies in Canada have to say about EV batteries in Canada, it's not relevant to this discussion. If you have information about insurance claims in Thailand relating to EVs please post them here alternatively you could start your own discussion "EVs in Canada"
  18. I got a bit of a discount on the current price https://s.lazada.co.th/s.O6Ys8
  19. MG 4 5☆ https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/mg/4+electric/48646 MG ZS EV 5☆ https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/mg/zs+ev/39678 This is an EV discussion and you post about an ICE car! Also do you know how Google works? You can find answers to questions by yourself - you should try it and stop wasting our time.
  20. Not wanting to hijack @zoolander discussion I have created a separate thread on my upgrade plans https://aseannow.com/topic/1314560-solar-upgrade-2024-part-1/
