Bandersnatch

You didn't read the linked article did you? https://www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-21-misleading-myths-about-electric-vehicles/ When you've actually done your homework, then you can come back and post here

I just bought my second EV so I'm putting my money where my mouth is. There are plenty of people who don't want an EV which is fine, but please shut up about it - nobody needs to hear every day that you don't want an EV I would say that there are many people who post here who definitely shouldn't buy one. It's not as easy as rolling up to PTT and handing over a thousand Baht with a "Bee Jet Krap" There are apps and a lot of tech which can be a bit tricky for some. "many people who post here who definitely shouldn't buy one" end up on EV discussions trying to tell those of us who have been driving EVs in Thailand for years stuff like: "There are no chargers in Thailand you know" "Battery will be dead in less than a year - it's the weather here you know" "EVs in Thailand are too expensive, you can't buy one for less than $100,000" My question is why are they on EV discussions repeating the same old rubbish.

Scaring my Thai friends could get addictive

"at night" - in bed by 9pm! Will give some feedback when I get a chance

Will post my BYD Seal videos here

Decided engagement in this discussion was a complete waste of time

"IMO" and your opinion is based upon....? Owning an electric vehicle with an LiFePO4 Cathode - I doubt it. Maybe you had the same battery chemistry in a solar home storage setup - unlikely Or do you have an advanced degree in electrochemistry No clearly your opinion is uniformed and worthless

Did you realise that I was responding to @KhunLA post where he was showing the range of the car? On a long trip I won't keep popping home to top up the charge on my home wall box, I will use a fast DC chargers along my route.

Did you watch the 2 videos? I covered both of these points there.

The BYD Seal Premium has an efficiency of 7.8km/kWh and can charge at 150kW. So it can add 20km per minute while charging. A 10 minute charge adds 200km range.

The BYD Seal has 3 models. I have the AWD Performance model with the bigger 82.5kWh usable battery and 580km range. BKK is 450km away.

Preparing to have your free EV WallBox installed. BYD’s WallBox installation team has already contacted my wife about the install and they had some questions for her about the meter size, location of the installation and the nearest breaker box. I am pleased BYD use a different install team to MG as the installation was a nightmare. They insisted to use their own breakers, which I said were not designed for the breaker box and represented a safety risk. This is the breaker box after their installation - I have removed most of the remains of the fried gecko that had pushed it’s way into the gap. Before BYD’s visit I changed the breakers to Siemens and freed up a space for the new wall box.

I have posted a new topic in the Thailand Motor Discussion about V2L.

My new EV has bi-directional charging. I already have solar and home batteries, but the EV is another source of power keeping me off-grid. The first video is my current setup and the second video explains the different types of bi-directional charging and how to connect an EV to a home solar system.

As OP this was in my original post some 4,000 posts ago. I posted this as I knew that the haters would be out in force to hijack this discussion as they have done for so many others. They clearly don’t want anyone to buy an Electric Car and will spread disinformation, loony theories and pathetic lies to achieve their objective. Most are incapable of constructing a coherent argument and due to a lack of formal education have no comprehension of the scientific method. Most of what they post is uniformed opinions and hearsay. Feeding the troll only encourages them. It is best to ignore them or suffer the fate described best by Mark Twain. I also like the one about playing chess with a pigeon.

Ok look forward to your next update

@MrChart did I miss the October figures? Just watched a video quoting EV sales for 2023 estimated to be 8.7% Thought I saw we had already reached over 10% of total vehicle sales.

Yes light pressure all the way around and click. Getting underneath it getting it off is the problem. I got a YouTube comment. - didn’t look that hard, he didn’t see the struggle off camera to get it started

This exchange on my Hot Seal video was interesting

Wouldn’t the aircon have also have cooled the windscreen and that was considerably hotter. This is my MG HS PHEV with Hi Kool ceramic film: BYD Seal Roof not coated: BYD Seal windscreen uncoated MG HS PHEV with Hi Kool ceramic film and foil coated foam: Conclusion: BYD Seal’s uncoated windscreen is the same temp as the film coated MG MG with with foil coated foam and film is the same temp as the BYD Seal’s glass roof

As you said yourself "I don't have an EV" meaning you don't think the way EV owners think. You don't understand how EVs work. "if everyone waited until later to charge wont those be higher demand hours and wont the electric companies charge accordingly" EVs represent a tiny proportion of countries energy usage, but they want EV owners to charge at night so power like Wind doesn't need to switched off and they don't need to switch on Gas Peaker early evening.
