Well, there is an interesting point. If you are not tax resident, can you avoid the crypto tax? Or does the TRD consider it revenue earned in Thailand? (In which case tax is due).

There is crypto tax if you are tax resident. if you bought your coins on a authorized thai exchange, then you pay personal income tax on the profit. If you bought your coins on a foreign or unauthorized exchange, then you pay personal income tax on the entire sale amount.

Don't go for a 3 phase 16 amp charger, it will only charge at 3.6Kw on single phase, go for the 22Kw 3 phase charger to get 7Kw single phase.

150Kw is for DC Charging when you're out on the road, it's probably about 500 volts or so. Very few cars have 22Kw AC charging ability, it's an option on Porsche and Audi equivalents but it's about 100,000 baht option. 11Kw AC is becoming quite popular and standard on many cars. I just checked, the Sealion 7 is 11Kw AC Charging, I think we will see that on new model Seals when we get them.

Using a 3rd party charger doesn't negate your warranty as you do it in shopping malls, hotels etc and the car makes all the decisions. I charge to 100% roughly once a month or 2 months. Mostly I charge to about 50%. BYD advise you to do it weekly, that is to calibrate the SoC indicator, I don't believe it's to balance the cells, I think balancing occurs during charging and discharging. If it wasn't for MG we would probably never have heard about balancing cells. I'm comfortable with an inaccurate SoC indicator, if I'm making a long journey I charge to 100%. Most expert thinking is that degradation is accelerated in line with SoC, though I'm aware of one report that disagrees. What I have said is for LFP battery chemistry.

Some cars can charge at 11Kw on 3 phase, I think I read the new Sealion does. I would definitely buy the 3 phase 22Kw wall box that's capable of 7Kw single phase. I think we will see more and more cars with 11Kw charging capability, the Seal in other markets can for example.

Very informative, his statement at the end is wrong, I think Thailand is the most attractive country for China to sell EV's, the UK maybe comes second because it still has tariffs albeit a lot smaller than the EU and US.

Some wall chargers do know the SoC (State of Charge) of the battery, so it follows a wall charger could stop charging at 80%, however, I've never seen that facility on a wall charger, maybe some have it.

That's roughly a 50/50 split EV/ICE.

Because I know my daughter.

That's the stock reply of Israel supporters, call them anti-semitic. Grow up.

There is something in the young male psyche, it's the thrill of speed together with an unwavering overestimation of their skill. We have all seen the young guys speeding past us, weaving in and out without a care in the world. It's always boys, it's never girls. Three times my daughters came home from school to tell me one of the classmates killed himself on a motorcycle, and one of them was exactly this type of accident, up the back of a parked truck. His parents bought him a Kawasaki Ninja 400. My daughter had one too, but she drove it like a girl, I don't think she ever discovered it had a power band. One look at the tyres and you could see she never drove it fast. When I bought them their first scooters I took them down to the Government hospital, walked them through A&E and took them to the ward to see all the young guys there. I like to think it made a difference.

Could you expand on that, it's a bit short on detail.

Smaller form factor, but functionally equivalent though you won't find features like RFID card access etc

It's called EVangelism

BYD set to overtake Ford and Honda Chinese Automaker BYD Set to Surpass Ford and Honda in Global Sales

Congratulations Yodarapper, you’ll be very happy with it. I chose 40% cut 60% transmissible window film on my car. Try charging with your Lazada charger at 16 amps, if you think it’s getting too hot, just knock it down to 13 amps.

BYD describe the Seal as a Sports Saloon and it’s an incredibly fun car to drive. It has a very low center of gravity, almost perfect 50/50 weight distribution with a 55% bias on power to the rear wheels. The car is set up to be incredibly safe in normal driving with a slight oversteer under a lot of power. With instantaneous torque available it makes the car both appealing to a careful driver but with immense power and superb handling for those who want to push it the limit or drift it round corners. Not on the public highway obviously.

My takeaway from that is twice as many people are choosing EV’s over Toyota. Who is losing out from these EV sales?

Thought this was amusing, I thought of someone, guess who?

First determine the type of load your device has, if it's inductive rather than resistive, size accordingly. I have a 2KVA pure sine wave UPS but it needs external 48v batteries if you're interested? It used to run the lighting & IT circuits in a very large house.

The Seal Power to weight ratio is 150% of the Raptor, I believe the expression is the Seal will p?ss all over the Ford. Ford Ranger Raptor V6 Engine: 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 Power: 405 horsepower (302 kW) Weight: 5,325 lbs (2,436 kg) Power-to-Weight Ratio: 0.08 hp/lb BYD Seal Performance Engine: Dual Motor Electric Power: 523 horsepower (390 kW) Weight: 4,540 lbs (2,055 kg) Power-to-Weight Ratio: 0.12 hp/lb

I chose 40% cut (60% transmission) front, sides and back. Nothing for the roof, it's already specially treated and I don t find it hot.

You can run the AC on a Seal for a few days without flattening the battery. Can I ask what your specific requirements are that rule out an EV?
