Interesting that my ABB indicates to draw over 7.2 kW - the car indeed only 6.4 to 6.5. Have you checked your ABB internal information screen? On this one, I did not question much the numbers I saw, just jogged it off as a conversion rate at the lower end with around 15% loss, which is not at all that unusual - Tesla's are in the same ballpark. One more observation: You are correct that the AC wallcharger is nothing more than a fancy switch, but it is also limiting the power it will draw. It will not go over the nominal 7.4 kW - to protect the feed wiring. In other words - if you hook up a Taycan with a 22kW OBC, it will only pull 7.4 kW max.

Tell this to the folks who are on the bench in the US for voicing their discontent on January 6. But more importantly - when are you going to buy a BYD?

I'd get this BYD in a heartbeat if it were sold in Thailand..........gawd its a cool toy!! its the BYD Yangwang U9 BYD Yangwang U9 _ EV.mp4

I prefer fake carbon fiber over real plastic - at least the kind we have on our Thailand cars (the Chinese have much nicer plastic, I would not need to add this fake carbon fiber) But it looks so much better now.

Could a USB hub help with this? Have you tried?

You are being facetious....... right?

Mind-boggling that the GWM Tank 500 at a price of THB 2,3 M is showing such a respectable sales figure - outselling established brands. Missing in action in this list is the MG Maxus - plenty of those around here.

You mean in total or just for the installation? My saleswoman said it would be THB 4,000 for the cam and install - so I bought it and installed it myself....... took me about 15 minutes, including watching 3 YT videos.

You only say that because she is pretty............hehehe

Scariest post I have ready in a very, very long time......... My science background had me absolutely convinced that there is no such thing as ghosts, but if you have heard them, I will revisit this believe of mine. I just noticed I am sitting here with sweat of fear running down my forehead, time for another blond one............

Gotacha!

aahhhhmmm..........missed that one - where did you find the instruction that the battery has to be below 20% for the OTA? Me ignoramus just pushed the button and sailed through the update without concerning myself with the finer things of update pleasures - went without a hitch.

How about a wrap?

Thanks for the hint........ I will have a look. Do you run VTL for only one phase?

I have this in my shopping cart........ and this is for only 15 kWh https://www.lazada.co.th//products/i4363388164-s17397026808.html It would seamlessly integrate with my Huawei inverter. But in reality, the lifespan makes EES not economically viable, except if you live off grid.

I have always found arguments based on outlier events amusing - the world does not operate like that, to wit, not every single EV will be involved in a fatal battery accident. As a matter of fact, I am going out on a limb and postulate this outrages argument - very few will. In an other life, I have always argued for 'management by exception' - and not the other way around! You will always be at the losing end of the debate when you try to make the potential accident the reason to resist progress.......... imagine cavemen resisting the wheel because a wheeled cart in an accident will run down a hill so much faster than a sled......... I for one do not aspire to live in a cave.

This will sound a bit selfish, but I am already salivating about getting my hands on a 50+ kWh battery pack on the cheap as a home solar back-up battery from a salvaged EV.......... I am actually wondering whether I should buy one of the entry level EV's just for the battery, discarding the car bits - would still be half of what solar installers quote for batteries.

Don't forget that they robbed us of this gold-nugget........or does this have to be filed under 'TIT'? (For those not familiar with the issue - there was a lot of talk that the the 'Build your Dreams' lettering looks silly, so export versions were changed to the simple 'BYD' - now we have those owners who want to put the 'Build your Dreams' back on. Well, at least it sounds better than "Bayrische Motoren Werke')

Has this been posted? The heading reads: BYD Seal the top listed car in group D-Segment in Thailand November 2566

Is this like where you live?

Am I missing something here, or what is the inference to car warranty regarding an accident? Sounds like the usual click-bait YT video if this was presented in this way..........

Is it possible you have reading comprehension problems? or did you even read the report? The last two paragraph pretty much sum it up: MG tried to market a stripped version for cheap of the MG 5 down under. It's not what I find a good policy, but it is far from possible to extrapolate from this policy what safety rating Chinese cars in general are sold with - but then again. that was not really what you are interested in? Its good the test was made and published, MG has responded positively to correct the shortcomings.

I have bought very few cars for which the salesperson knew more about the car than I did........ probably have to blame myself for that

Invite all the kids from the neighborhood........and their parents But then again - I believe your conclusion is wrong, from the demos I have seen from local owners, after the update the pedestrian warning can be turned on and off. Car is updating right now, cant test it myself until later.

I had the same problem - finally I had the glorious idea to tell the BYD lady to turn audio back on for navigation.......lo and behold, she did. I had to do it a few times already.
