Bandersnatch

If you had a genuine concern you would have posted about it before - you haven’t - I rest my case. The EV saloon I am buying weighs less than the average pickup for sale in Thailand, so yes I don’t care about its weight.

Just wanted to know if you are genuinely concerned about heavy vehicles damaging the roads or just wanted to engage in some EV bashing - thanks for confirming my suspicions.

I have an ice making machine which runs during the middle of day. My chest freezer is on a timer that switches off at night. Any other load shifting you can do.

Do please share a link to where you have complained about massive trucks destroying the roads. I can wait

Some pictures for you

Depreciation varies, during covid used EVs were selling for more than new ones due part shortage for new cars. The UK is currently in as massive financial crisis caused by Brexit and financial mismanagement. As well as an energy crisis causes by a short sighted “cut the green crap” approach to becoming energy independent. No onshore wind and grants for home solar cut overnight devastating the industry. 32% of households in Australia have solar. In the UK it’s 4%. In the light of the above nobody is buying expensive new or used cars and those with them can’t afford to keep them. However, it is interesting that the same publications crowing about depreciation on EVs were the same ones complaining that ULEV compliant vehicles were too expensive even secondhand. Back to Thailand. I ordered my second EV last week. I have solar and don’t have a PEA bill. I put excess power into running my first EV, but I have enough extra power for a second EV. It comes with 8 years warranty on the car. 8 years warranty on the battery. 8 years 100% free servicing. 8 years free breakdown cover. I will be keeping it for at least…… 8 years so won’t worry about depreciation.

Thanks for the update. Like you I will charge from MG wall box initially so good to know it works. I tend to use apple car play and Google Maps for navigation, but thanks for the heads up about the apps

You should read this article if you want some balance. Most of what you read online about EVs is not true, better to talk to people that actually own an EV and know what they are talking about. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/10/07/florida-state-fire-marshal-tells-crazy-lie-about-evs/

Were you here in 2011? There were no EVs in Thailand then. Honda alone lost $12 Million Worth Of new cars https://www.businessinsider.com/honda-floods-thailand-tax-break-2011-11

We know this story in the EV forums - it was not a traction battery fire. The batteries in EVs are sealed. They suffer less with flooding than ICE cars

A post from another discussion where people actually know something about EVs

The app is called Plug Share! Have you ever seen an EV charger?

This is for European Cars with a Left Rudder, so might not be 100% accurate for Thai vehicles

You just proved you don’t know what you’re talking about and that you don’t know how to your check facts before posting.

Black seems to be the crowd favorite, but I ordered a white one because I don’t want anyone to think I’m driving a Tesla

Another cool BYD Seal Feature: The side mirrors dip on selecting reverse so that you can see the lines of the parking space

How about seat and mirror memory for two in case you are married to a dwarf or a Thai girl.
