You said most of the chargers in Thailand are DC chargers but from the website you quoted
Don’t misquote me to cover your own mistakes
I didn’t quote a website I posted a table of DC charging in Thailand.
Don’t bother replying I bored trying explain this to you - added to my blocked list

I forget sometimes that I have to explain things like I speaking to a small child. My apologies let me make it a little clearer.There are 2 classes of chargers
They are sometimes known by how they are used:
Destination chargers: found at homes, places of work, shops, restaurants and hotels etc. They are used when the driver is going to be at a location for hours.
Road trip chargers: found on major highways, rest stops, fuel stations etc. They are used when the driver is stopping for minutes.
They are sometimes known by their connection type as @KhunLA explained above.
However they are probably most commonly known by the type of electricity they provide:
AC: EVs have an onboard inverter that converts AC power to DC to charge the batteries. Most cars can accept 7kW single phase and some can accept 11kW or even higher 3 phase.
DC: here both the EV’s capacity to accept a charge and charger capacity to deliver a charge can vary but the lower of the 2 speeds determines the charging speed.
Nobody is talking about AC/Destination charging here. We are discussing the speed of DC charging.
The fact that you clearly don’t know the difference shows just how difficult it is have an intelligent discussion about EVs with someone who has little of knowledge about them.

for the anti-EV posters it is almost a hate position
@josephbloggs Your topic really brought out the EV hating loonies, is it a full moon?
They have
No interest in owning an EV,
Clearly no knowledge about EVs,
No experience in owning an EV,
Yet they want to spend their time arguing with people who have years of EV driving experience.
Good job keeping your cool.

You need to remember that 1.88% interest in Thailand is not the same as everywhere else, it's not calculated on depreciating balance, it's 1.88% of the capital multiplied by the number of years, it's probably nearer 3% what we would call APR in the UK.
You are correct, but I didn’t want to bore people with a discussion about flat rate v APR-

28 minutes ago, matchar said:It's only a matter of time until there are long queues for fast highway chargers like the UK is experiencing now (with the public charging cost higher than petrol).
I see you quoted my post comparing public charging in UK and Thailand, but you clearly didn’t read it.Let me try to simplify it for you:
UK: 90% of EV chargers slower than 20kW = long queue
Thailand: Most chargers faster than 100kW = no queue
When I charge at 150kW I can add 350km of range in 20 minutes.
I have never seen a queue at a charger in Thailand.
I only use a public charger when I’m traveling more than 600km
99% of the time I charge at home for free from my home solar.

Even if there are plenty of fast DC chargers available now, at the current rate of EV sales I highly doubt the charging infrastructure will be able to keep up and it will be absolute carnage for longer weekend trips.

I was asked to join an Australian BYD podcast on Tuesday as that episode was focused on the BYD Seal and very few cars have arrived in Australia (In the land of the blind….) The panelists own Atto3s currently and there are lots of videos about that car.
As always not sure where to post this, but might be of general interest to those considering a Seal v Tesla model 3

Yes, it's kind of a shame because it was useful to see who they were.
Who are we missing that hasn't posted yet, I can think of @Bandersnatch are there any more?
Thanks @JBChiangRai for the heads up, I’ve added my performance model now.

Thanks for that, very useful
I am sorry that I forgot to give credit to @KhunLA for preparing the chart on Thai charging

One of the problems with owning an EV in Thailand is that you have to constantly fact-check critics who have no clue about actually owning an EV in Thailand. They ignorantly base their opinions on what they read from their home country and stupidly assume that everything is the exactly the same here in Thailand or probably worse.
Take for example public charging. In the UK the vast majority of public chargers are “slow” under 7kW or “fast” under 22kW. No wonder there are complaints about queues for chargers.
By comparison the vast majority of chargers in Thailand are the much newer “Ultra Rapid” 100kW+ with many 150kW+ which for my EV is an extra 350km of range added in just 20 minutes.

Seen a few posts on FB about an OTA update taking around an hour, so those who are due might not have to wait for long.
Apparently this is what is in the update:
have you seen the red dot 🔴 telling you that there is a notification? I haven’t.

I have noticed price drops but not to this extent, I think that Thai resellers bought stock at higher prices and need to clear it before buying new cheaper stock.

I have a “stone chip” on the front of my seal (see video above) it’s not really a chip it’s more of a tear in the vinyl like top color coat (there is no hard clear coat)
Thanks for the suggestions for touch up paint. I bought both suggestions and will do a post on them later.
Thanks also for the comments on ppf

The box comes with one RFID card. Which the installers said was necessary for charging. Plugged the car in and tapped the wall box with the card ….nothing. On the phone to base they said to install the ABB app
I plugged in the Seal today and switched on the breaker, while I was still thinking about RFID cards and Apps, the car chirped in to action and I got a BYD notification on my Apple Watch
“Start Charging Water Cat”

At least the CyberTruck has got V2L
but not sure what it’s doing on the Tesla Thailand page.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
in Thailand Motor Discussion

Do you have evidence you can post of a traction battery fire in a BYD here in Thailand?
I am not interested in BYD PHEV fires in China. BYD doesn't sell PHEVs in Thailand.
