Not true. The supplied "Granny Charger" is rated at 2.3kW and supplied wall box is 7kW 24hours x 2.3kW = 55.2kWh and the battery capacity of the EP is 50kWh

Interesting that you mention about long wait times. I have seen on some FB groups requests for anyone selling a secondhand PHEV or EV. Seems that the rising price of Gasohol in Thailand has got more people considering EVs I looked on one2car.com for EVs under ฿1,000,000 and found only 4

You posted the same thing twice in this thread - not sure why Most condos built in Thailand do not have allocated parking because there are not enough parking spaces to give a parking space to each condo. However, If your condo does, you could make a proposal to the management committee to pay for the installation of a wall box in your space and the accompanied meter. The building would probably expect to make a profit on the sale of electricity to you and a monthly admin charge for for meter reading. When I was on a management committee we clamped vehicles parked in the wrong place with a fine for release.

MGs come with a free wall box and installation, not sure about GWM. In my installation the installer ran a cable from closest fuse box. An alternative is get a second meter installed, last year PEA had an incentive for EV owners of a free install of a second meter. You could then get that one as a Time Of Use and pay 2.6 Baht for overnight

Agreed 34.6 kWh in a PHEV is amazing. The smallest battery of the Nissan Leaf has a total capacity of 40 kWh!

All New MG ZS EV with Government EV discount 53.4 kWh Battery NEDC range 403km with V2L technology (Vehicle-To-Load) 2,200W high power supply

Agreed it is a bit odd - I did a google translate of the Thai page, but maybe they haven't updated the English Language web page yet

The Hyundai Ioniq 5, which was just recently crowned 2022 World Car of the Year would be great to see in Thailand.

I have an MG HS PHEV. I charge it from my home solar and it gives me a range of 70km which is enough for nearly all journeys. Sometimes I will drive in the morning charge it over lunch at home and go out again in the afternoon. On longer journeys which I very rarely do I can drive as a Hybrid with regen breaking charging the batteries and charge at shopping centers when I stop for lunch. I use the petrol engine as a range extender so no range anxiety. I think pure Hybrid cars offer very little advantage over a regular gasoline cars as the battery is tiny - only about 1kWh

The cost of electricity in Thailand is cheap. The UK is now about ฿17/kWh. T.O.U. rate overnight in Thailand is ฿2.6/kWh

BYD plans right hand drive EV factory for Thailand

Thailand Issues New Incentive Package for Electric Vehicle Industry https://www.aseanbriefing.com/news/thailand-issues-new-incentive-package-for-electric-vehicle-industry/ The latest incentive package announced includes: A 40 percent reduction in import duty for completely built-up (CBU) of battery EVs priced up to 2 million baht ($61,805) and a 20 percent reduction for those priced between 2 million ($61,805) and 7 million baht (US$211,278) from 2022 to 2023; and Excise tax cut from 8 percent to 2 percent for imported EVs, which is predicted to add 7,000 EVs in the first year. The package is a follow-up to earlier February subsidy programs to encourage EV production and purchases, which include: A 70,000 baht (US$2,111) subsidy is available per EV unit for passenger cars with 10 to 30 kWh battery capacity for completely knocked-down (CKD) and CBU units; A 150,000-baht (US$4,523) subsidy for each EV unit for passenger cars with more than 30kWh battery capacity for completely knocked-down (CKD) and CBU units; An 18,000-baht subsidy for electric motorcycles from eligible car producers between 2022-2023; and Exemption of import duties on important electrical components: batteries, traction motors, compressors for battery EVs, battery management systems, drive control units, and reduction gear between 2022-2025.

This is a discussion about EVs available or coming to Thailand. Not private imports but cars supported here with a dealer network. Are you interested in an EV as your next car if so which one and why? Do you know of any breaking news about EVs in Thailand? If so post here. This not a discussion about EVs v ICE cars - for that go here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1246109-ice-vs-ev-the-debate-thread/ This is not a discussion about Chinese cars - for that go here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1235921-why-so-many-chinese-cars-mg-cars-do-people-only-care-to-buy-something-cheap-whatever-is-the-quality/ Mods please delete any posts that try to hijack this thread.

I got the batteries in a couple of weeks, but with the situation now in China it could be months. What is the voltage of the 200AH batteries and how many are you getting? I like to work in kWhs

Good morning neighbor. I arranged to import my Inverters and Batteries myself and purchased my panels at my local solarshop. My installer here in Surin fitted them all for me. More expensive than building your batteries yourself my nRuit batteries use CATL cells Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry and cost me ฿68,000 for 9kWh

SAIC motors lost out in their bid to buy MG to Nanjing Automotive Corporation. In 2006 Nanjing Automotive Corporation acquired MG for 53 million pounds but in 2007 SAIC motors acquired Nanjing Automotive Corporation resulting in the MG brand coming under the ownership of SAIC motors SAIC Motor Technical Centre UK is a technical development center at Longbridge.

My electric MG does a full vehicle diagnostics every time you start the car or open the mobile app which includes checking the status of the 12v Battery. Any problem with the car and a notification is sent to your phone. In 8 months I have only had one fault notification and that was that one of the tires needed more air! Ready mode engages the high voltage battery pack which will also top up the 12v battery no need to drive car.

I have home solar and an EV. The EV is purely powered by excess solar from the house system. My actual payback is 5 years as I don't have a PEA bill or a fuel bill for my car.

After my first MG service (I have 5 years of completely free servicing) they washed the car inside and out and left the car on a charger. I got a notification on the app it was charging and waited until it had enough charge then went to pick the car up.

Reasons I own an electric car: - I don't pay for fuel as I use solar after my house batteries are full - I don't have to worry about fuel price rises or fuel shortages - I drive a top of the range luxury SUV the size of a Honda CRV but cheaper than the bottom of the range CRV - Relaxing and silent to drive - Great performance with instant torque and a 0-60 in 6.9 seconds

I will defer to @Crossy on this one. It has been my experience that PEA installs single-phase as standard and three-phase has to be requested and paid for and so is not common, but my experience in this mater is not extensive.
