You claimed that you saw a queue at a PTT station, which is IN Thailand, so I called your bluff. You responded by posting a video in Australia which compounded your falsehood. I’m sorry I called your bluff for all to see. There! I apologised. Would an EVangelist, even when right, ever apologise to a non-believer? That’s proof positive that EV owners are not EVangelists lol.

Which country was this? Definitely not Thailand as most EV owners here know.

I am that poster you are referring to. I don’t see how @Bandersnatch’s comment is arrogant. It’s just pointing out facts. -

I’m extremely impressed that as a non-EV owner, you can so confidently predict what EV owners here are going to do in the near future. Sadly though, you couldn’t be more wrong. As an EV and ICEV owner, I can tell you that I will be highly unlikely to sell my EV to go back to an ICEV. I would be foolish to do that, considering that an EV has so many more advantages over an ICEV. -

In EV charging terms, 50kW is considered rapid which is faster/more rapid/quicker/speedier than fast charging so your first statement is technically correct in letter but not in spirit. Technically again, you are also correct in saying that it would take 1-2 hours to charge most EVs from 0-100%. However, this is highly uncommon as most genuine EV owners know (I’m referring here to public charging on road trips). The most efficient way to charge on a road trip is from 10-20% to 80%. On a PEA 50kWh charger, this would take about 40 mins or so. If charging from 30%-80%, the time taken would be even less so 50kW is plenty quick enough. Since you drove a Tesla for a few years in BKK, iirc, how often did you have to wait 1-2 hours at a public charging station to charge your Tesla? -

One thing you are overlooking is that such events are great opportunities for the pretties to get themselves one or more sugar daddies. It’s not degrading at all, it’s their livelihood and most that I know are satisfied with their career choice. -
I also misread it as BBJ.

I don’t see any EV zealots on this forum. A few enthusiastic owners like @KhunLA, @JBChiangRai and myself who are very happy with our purchase but we don’t tell everyone that they should also own one. Posters like @Bandersnatch who believe in renewables and willingly share their knowledge and experience with others without condemning non-believers (unlike some anti-EVers). All of us were (and some still are) ICE owners so you can hardly cal our perspective skewed. I put it to you that it’s those that haven’t or don’t own an EV that has a skewed perspective about EV ownership.

Envy is one of the seven cardinal sins and is not a pretty sight. If you had paid more attention in school, you might have had a better job and could now afford a better car and saved money in the process.

I’m extremely disappointed that you hardly took any pictures of the models. I see only 2 or 3. Pretties I mean lol. -

Before thinking of educating others, you should educate yourself first. -
Thai-China high-speed rail set to boost ASEAN connectivity
Gweiloman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This will be good for ASEAN countries, especially when the whole network is completed, connecting all the way down through Malaysia into Singapore. This will really open up trade and tourism for all these countries, especially since China has granted visa exempt status for both Malaysian and Thai citizens.
