Electric Vehicles in Thailand
JBChiangRai replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
How are you determining KWH into the battery? are you allowing for charging losses? I think the MG helps you determine SoH because when fully charged, the indicated range has dropped from 425km to 405km. On my Seal the range is nearly always the same, though I did get it to indicate 585km last time which is 5 more than it's supposed to have. -

I have a HP color laser printer for sale, mostly new internals belts and toners. If he’s interested, I can send details, it’s on bahtsold too. -

This was the service department at the MG dealer. He showed me it on his mobile phone, I suspect he used something like the commercially available carscanner device, the display looked like ones you've posted Pib. It's an LFP battery pack. It's normal for batteries to age more in the first year then slow down. I would say ours is probably on the bad side of normal. I drove it for 10 months and I kept it close to 100% SoC every day which accelerates aging, I also have a heavy right foot. My eldest daughter has driven it for the last 13 months and she will average a 55-60% SoC as she only charges it (always to 100%) when it's down to below 20%. She also has a heavy right foot and cruises faster than I do, probably nearer to 120km/hr on a journey. I just renewed the Seal's insurance with Viriyah and asked them to quote for the MG4 and they said they don't currently cover MG4's. -

I took our 23 month old MG4 with 29,000km in to have the battery checked. SoH is 92.8% -

This is what I would do. If your existing RCBO Safety cut is working properly, I don’t see why you would need another. You have 3 phase, if your planning on staying in that house, I would go for a 3 phase 22Kw charger, if your buying a Sealion 7 (for example) it will charge at 11Kw (don’t buy a 3 phase 11Kw wall box under any circumstances). I would put your wall box on an industrial plug and fit an industrial socket where you want your wall box (red 3 phase 32 amp or blue single phase 32 amp) then you can take the charger with you if you move house. To be neat, I would go for a charger that records what it pumps into the car. -
Making a will in Thailand,video or document?
JBChiangRai replied to sanook 1's topic in General Topics
I think a video will with the witnesses in frame backed up with a written will visible in the video is an excellent idea. -

They are if the will is challenged. Video Wills have to have witnesses too. -
Making a will in Thailand,video or document?
JBChiangRai replied to sanook 1's topic in General Topics
Here is what AI says... Yes, video wills are acceptable in Thailand, but they must meet certain legal requirements to be considered valid. Here are the key points: Testator's Presence: The person making the will (testator) must be present in the video. Witnesses: There must be at least two witnesses present during the recording of the video will. These witnesses must also sign the will. Clear Intent: The testator must clearly state their intent to make the video will and outline their wishes regarding the distribution of their assets. Legal Compliance: The video will must comply with Thai law, which includes being made voluntarily and without any undue influence. It's always a good idea to consult with a legal professional to ensure that your video will meets all the necessary legal requirements in Thailand. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! -

I would be surprised because it's too easy to fake it with AI tools. -
No, I have single phase supply.

I have seen 2nd hand Seals from B1+ People are selling with numbers starting with 1. -
Being able to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmh is a capability that gives some indication of what else the car can do. Using full power accelerating away from a standstill is completely different from using full power at 80 km an hour to overtake. In this latter situation, you could probably use a lot more power without any risk or it appearing overdramatic. Drivers like power, it’s not a theory, it’s a fact. Manufacturers are just catering to what the public want.

I think everybody has to start somewhere. There is always your "first fast car". It would be a mistake to think that fast EV's are not engineered for performance, they are a lot more than just a bigger motor. I do agree putting Somchai or any other driver inexperienced with fast cars behind the wheel of a fast car is risky. Hopefully, most have the sense to gradually become accustomed to the power and capabilities of their vehicle. I would never let an inexperienced or young driver take out my car alone. I let my daughters drive it, but if I had a son the same age who was anything like me in my youth, I certainly wouldn't let him drive it alone.
