Bandersnatch

I did comment on the video as EcoHouseThailand explaining that in Thailand there are number of freebies which effectively drop the price which are probably not available in other markets.

The biggest selling point for Tesla in the EU & US is the charging infrastructure. In Thailand that is definitely not the case. After a year in Thailand Tesla charging is available in only 3 location Khorat, Pattaya and Greater BKK.

BYD Seal is launched in Australia cheaper than the Atto 3 Although Aus based this video is an interesting discussion of the BYD Seal v Tesla Model 3 debate.

Thanks. My criteria was LFP chemistry, being able to drive to BKK on one charge (which is more than I would ever want to do) V2L and a reasonable price. There is talk that the ฿150,000 EV grant will end this year but This Is Thailand (TIT) I test drove the BYD Seal Premium and instantly fell in love with it, then it was no longer a rational decision

Make your mind up!

You dismissed a report from Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service’s fire investigation team, but offer instead "A slightly dodgy video IMO" ????

???????????? Thanks, I really enjoyed that - please keep them coming

Buyers Remorse. EVs are like any new technology, they change at a rapid pace. 20 years ago I was working in BKK and dating a girl who worked at Toshiba. She was able to get me staff discount on a new 42 inch TV. 2 years ago I bought an 86 inch TV and it's already out of date. ICE vehicles on the other hand are a mature technology and any improvement year to year are tiny. I also don't think that anybody is considering investing in developing a completely new ICE engine which could be obsolete before it's ready for production. In 2018 at the BKK motor show a ฿2,000,000 40 kWh Li-ion Nissan Leaf with CHAdeMO charging was the only EV I saw. I am glad I waited, but how long do you wait? I have chosen to buy an 82.5 kWh LFP EV with V2L for ฿1,449,000. Will something better come along in the next couple of year? Definitely, but I am happy with the deal I have got and I will enjoy the car instead of fretting over my decision. Life is too short for all that worry.

If you think the cause is inconclusive why did you post about the fire into an EV discussion?

ultracrepidarian and bad-mannered congratulations

Did you mean Battery Electric Vehicles? H2 is a deception promoted by the fossil fuel industry and I can’t believe people are still falling for it. “First Shell, now Motive, hydrogen fuel station closures continue in the UK The number of hydrogen refuelling stations in the UK has dwindled from 15 in 2021 to just 5 now” https://innovationorigins.com/en/first-shell-now-motive-hydrogen-fuel-station-closures-continue-in-the-uk/#:~:text=This comes on the heels,2021 to just five remaining. Thailand has zero public H2 stations and zero hydrogen cars for sale here.

@TorquayFan not sure why you are posting a link to a fire started by a diesel car Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue press release. https://www.bedsfire.gov.uk/news/london-luton-airport-car-park-fire

Because it’s not public - it is a TEST facility

H2 is being pushed hard by the fossil fuel industry and their lobbyists. As at the end of 2021 47% was made from natural gas, 27% from Coal, 22% from oil and only 4% from electrolysis because it so expensive. https://www.irena.org/Energy-Transition/Technology/Hydrogen#:~:text=As at the end of,around 4% comes from electrolysis. So basically H2 is a fossil fuel. H2 is also being pushed by Japanese Legacy automakers who are late to the EV party and are trying to muddy the debate around Green Energy. Even using Grey and Brown H2 it is still not economic for passenger vehicles. If it was, it would have happened by now.

Don’t worry, it’s just a test.

Don’t worry the map hasn’t changed much since 2015. The link to the live map wouldn’t load on my phone but here it is now https://www.h2stations.org/stations-map/?lat=24.310177&lng=120.756532&zoom=4 And a screen shot

Yes you can but not sure why you would want to as solar increases the value of the house: 2 identical houses one with a ฿5,000 a month electricity bill the other with ฿500 which would you buy? I have already answered this in my reply to the OP please see above. Federal funding isn’t going to help us here in Thailand. I don’t see any investment here in H2 for passenger vehicles.

This is a discussion about EVs. I’ve just bought my second and you don’t own any and yet you think I’m ignorant about EVS. Stick to subjects that you actually know something about.

Were you drunk when you wrote this?

No

Next time you’re driving by your local BYD dealer, take the BYD Seal for a test drive. It has very impressive handling and is shod in 19inch 235/45-profile Continental SportContact rubber. The 3.8sec 0-100kph AWD version has semi adaptive suspension and Intelligent Torque Adaption Control.

H2 is just not economic to produce in a sustainable way. When I make power from my solar system to put in my electric car there is some small efficiency loss due to the inversion process, but over 90% of the energy ends up in my car. With current electrolyzers, green hydrogen's efficiency is around 30%, which means 70% of the renewable energy put into producing green hydrogen is lost across the full cycle of production and use. Good luck with Hydrogen in Thailand. Where are you going to buy your Hydrogen car - none for sale here. Toyota keeps making promises about it's Mirai but you can't buy it here. Then where will you fill it up? Thailand has no public H2 filling stations.

You couldn’t be more wrong. My new EV has a structural battery pack which great torsional rigidity. The weight is set down low under the car with perfect weight distribution.

The problem here should be obvious in this discussion. The OP doesn’t own an EV and clearly from the amount of fact checking I had to do on his post, knows very little about them. Yet he feels the need to spread the gospel of “Anti-EV” I frankly think it’s pretty sad
