    Lead is recycled because it is easy to do so

     

    You already been proved wrong saying the BYDs batteries are toxic and now you claim that recycling is only done "because it is easy to do so" recycling happens because it's economic to do so.

     

    I never claimed EV batteries are easy to recycle in fact they tend to be used in second life applications first

    but EV recycling is happening despite you claiming it's too difficult to do.

     

     

    "EV Battery Recycling Is on the Rise

    Globally, EV battery recycling capacity is expanding. Battery cell manufacturers are building recycling facilities on-site or close-to-site. Independent recyclers are starting to invest in their own Li-Ion battery recycling plants. Over the past two years alone, more than 20 companies in the automotive and recycling sectors have announced plans for new partnerships"

    Not relevant results to Tropical climates like Thailand. https://www.evengineeringonline.com/how-does-hot-weather-affect-electric-vehicles/

     

     

    Did you read the report you referenced?

     

    Featuring heat pumps, cabin overheat protection, and “dog mode” — a function that safeguards interior temperature for pets when owners are away — Tesla’s maintain cool cabin interiors with minimal impact on battery range”

     

    The BYD Seal features heat pump for cabin and battery cooling.

     

    ”Indeed, EV in-cabin AC only minimally impacts range, especially compared to the high-energy demands of winter heating”

     

    The title of this discussion is “BYD Seal tips, tricks and help” and the majority of the posters here own BYD Seals or other BYDs here in Thailand. 

     

    Most EV owners would admit that the claimed range, as with all cars, is a bit optimistic, but for BYD Seal owners posting on this discussion the experience is the actual range in Thailand is pretty close to the claimed range.

  3. BYD Seal Performance 1,000km challenge. If you don’t want to watch the whole video, then watch the last 5 minutes

     

    He did admit that the thumbnail was clickbait!

     

    There was some “rapidgating” down to 100kW from a max of 150kW but he said that most people probably wouldn’t notice.

     

    Only 5 minutes behind the Model 3 LR on a 1,000km trip is nothing to be concerned about in my opinion, particularly as a Model 3 LR in white with alloys is ฿500,000 more that a Seal Performance in Thailand

     

    I don’t rapid charge enough to comment.

    Saw your post and jumped in the car. No little bell 🔔 icon saying there was an update. Checked for update and it did the usual check for update and back to check for update screen.
     

    Was about to give up when noticed 🔔 had appeared 

     

    @UWEB thanks for posting

    Words from the sales girls are that the banks are more restrictive to give out loans now, could also explain the shortfall in registration numbers vs bookings numbers claimed at the motorshow 


    Being able to offer finance is a great way to get a sale on a second hand item.

     

    I had a condo for sale @ ฿7m and the agent told me it was too expensive for most buyers. 
     

    A couple of weeks later he was showing a guy with ฿3.5m condos that he didn’t like then he showed him mine and explained that ฿3.5m was 50% deposit with 5 years interest free on the balance. He agreed to buy it on the spot.

     

    I would be happy to offer financing when selling a car, my lawyer already has a template contract he could adapt.
