Yesterday in a Trang supermarket locals witnessed a Swiss man violently attacking a Thai woman. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2024/03/06/a-swiss-man-seriously-hurts-thai-woman-in-trang-supermarket/

This is what was written: “ However, there is a requirement that if 100% electric vehicles are imported for sale, they must produce 1 times domestically by 2024 (2024) or extend the period to by 2025 (2025), but must produce 1.5 times.“ Source : https://autolifethailand.tv/byd-thailand-wha-group-mou-ev-bev-atto3-thailand/ Did you invent the “ and sell ( not export )” part yourself ??

There are 4 or 5 videos on: https://www.facebook.com/TalkMissthailand2019 Not sure if the first fight is on there though EDIT, Mrs D tells me these videos are all at the Hotel, showed me the first video but it was from a distance and not very good.

Don’t be worried the intention was always to export Thai manufactured vehicles. https://autolifethailand.tv/byd-thailand-wha-group-mou-ev-bev-atto3-thailand/ “ BYD's 100% electric and plug-in hybrid plant is expected to start production in 2024 with a production capacity of 150,000 units per year for domestic sales and export to countries in ASEAN and Europe. The Board of Investment has approved large-scale investment projects in the production of battery electric vehicles (BEVs: 100% electric vehicles) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). “ Sept 2022

A bit of ambitious crowd surfing there ladies ! fbsaver.mp4

So, the headline says: UPDATE: Swiss man’s visa revoked Well has he or hasn’t he ?? I don’t see anything in this thread confirming that statement. Are AN jumping on the media frenzy bandwagon ?, or is there news on this story, I don’t see anything .

“ do you know Mr Urs Fehr “ ? ” yes David is a good friend of mine, we go out socialising “ “ you do know he is being charged for assault and possibly due to have his visa revoked “ ? ” oh sorry i thought you said Mr Ors Fenr , no, I’ve never heard of that guy “ !

I think one of the major benefits of Revolut is for British citizens who live constantly under the threat of having their bank account closed at short notice if the bank suspects they are not U.K. resident. I have opened a Revolut account, very simple process, and would be interested to hear any reviews of Revolut, both good and bad.

Yes, apparently it’s the Environmental Protection Agency and probably refers to miles not kilometres, which would explain the vast difference between the other 3 range “ standards “. https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/who-is-the-epa-and-what-is-epa-rating#:~:text=The EPA%2C or Environmental Protection,go on a full charge.

WLTP seems more realistic, quite a few Atto owners posted on FB they changed from NEDC to WLTP at their respective showrooms for a small fee of course ! Never heard of EPA but appears to be for the owners of lead boots !! Dynamic works for me, obviously there are differences in range between fast highway driving and stop start city driving but with around 75% city and 25% highway i am not far away from WLTP

Before taking advantage of this special offer you might want to consider checking out the Neta V II ( or Neta Aya ) Coming in March 2024 ! I don’t see much difference tbh. https://autolifethailand.tv/neta-v-ii-neta-aya-coming-thailand-march-2024/

Just as a follow up to my rather long story: I suggested that my wife and bil Orr visit the GWM showroom on the premise of changing the name/access to the app, meanwhile Orr could engage a salesperson in a little question and answer session about the Jolion and in particular it’s Hybrid qualities. He declined the suggestion and i get the impression he will continue to drive the car oblivious of the regen settings or the one-pedal mode. Well, i tried …….

Actually was at 70% and being on a Sunday I would have charged it to 100% that day, I have a TOU meter. My routine is to leave the range to drop and do a long charge on a Sunday to take advantage of the cheap TOU tariff, normally it would be less than 70% but that week we had been using the Jolion for the short trips to make sure it was all okay. If it gets close to 50% then i charge o/night. On this occasion I could see that I just wouldn’t have enough range to get back home so a quick ice tea at a Bangchak pump ( PEA Volta 50 kWh ) was enough to top up to make it home with 20% and then charge back up to 100% at home. Travelling to the mil’s once a month ( around a 450 km round trip and nearly always on a weekend ) is ideal to get the range down for a long charge back at home for the battery balancing.

I never said they were sales , it clearly says they were bookings. So what are you trying to say ? all the EV bookings never transpired into sales and the ICE bookings did ? Seems like a feeble attempt to dispute the fact that ev’s received a substantial number of bookings at the Bangkok Motor Show.

Yup, quite obvious to anyone ( except those in denial ) he will probably come back with the EV sales figures from 1987 next !

Thanks Pib, I was in the process of posting a very similar post. It will be very interesting to see the figures at next month Bangkok motor show, for those interested here’s the figures from last December’s Show. https://www.nationthailand.com/gallery/infographic/40033775

Wonder if Volvo will take them in ( as part of the Geely group ) ? Deepal at least promised a handful of dealerships with the entry of their cars and seems to be paying off. But yes, going to be difficult to sustain all these new EV brands in the short time. But what about the ICE vehicles ?, with 20 to 25% of new car sales going to EV surely there’s going to be some casualties in the ICE market ? I would guess Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Suzuki are all rethinking their strategy.
