Try that with my Seal Performance, I will leave you for dust.

Geely are one of China's biggest Auto manufacturers, I am sure they will open in Chiang Mai within 12 months so I wouldn't let that put me off. I think they own Volvo too and make their cars for them in China. Regarding Sealion 7 and future improvements. I would suggest you ignore future improvements, this is probably 3 years away. By the time we get 3.0 EVO there will be something else 3 years away, and this will go on for decades. Buy what is available here and now unless you're sure something is coming within a timeframe of under a year.

This will work on your existing socket where you park your car and will charge at about 3.5Kw on the 16 amp setting. Your house appears to have a good electrical installation, you shouldn't have any problem. You can select 8, 10, 13 or 16 amps, the highest setting is 60% faster than the supplied charger. If you have a breaker trip (unlikely) or you feel uncomfortable, knock the current down to 13 amp which is 30% faster than the supplied charger. However, it should be perfectly OK at 16 amps, that's what the socket is rated at.

I think about three years, it’s best to forget about new models and incremental improvements unless they are imminent and this one is not The currency Sealion 7 is a stunning car

Where to start, NVH (Noise Vibration & Harshness) which is what tires you on a long journey, 5 times more per km running cost, performance, handling, 5 hours per year wasted at fuel stations, not being able to fill up at home, overly complicated with too many moving parts, increased fire risk (12 times, 130 times if Hybrid). We have an MG4, a superb car, but it wouldn't be buying an MG with an ICE engine. @Yodarapper you've been all through this loop and chosen a superb car, the Atto is an excellent choice and perfect for you.

What infrastructure are we short of? it's sure as hell not chargers.

Here’s one

I wouldn’t be buying any ICE no matter what the price

You're right, because they don't want your car, they will offer less than they get from a tent as they want to make a profit on it, oft times they are guessing what a tent will offer them so have to be careful.

I would try and sell your CRV privately at about 250,000. I just looked at One2Car and they seem to be 300k+ so you need to undercut, advertise on One2car, bahtsold and facebook marketplace.

I think the Sealion charges at 11Kw on 3 phase Carl previously had 3 phase as we talked about AVR's. Personally, I prefer single phase at my home, if I was going 3 phase I'd make sure I had everything I wanted running in a power cut on on the same phase. I would also install 3 ATS transfer switches to switch a failed phase onto a working phase as most of the power cuts we get on this development are a single phase failing.

EV Charger should start to list them, if you want to start single phase and upgrade to 3 phase later, you'll need a 22Kw 3 phase charger most likely with a Type 2 plug for the car. Just check it can run on single phase first. Don't buy an 11Kw charger as it will only charge at 3.6Kw on single phase.

Does that extra 20,000 include installation? If it does it's a good deal, if it doesn't you'll find them on Lazada from about a third of that.

Just make you buy one with a Type 2 plug into the car.

Any of them with the mains plug being 2 pin will be ok, they always spoof the missing earth.

I just renewed my EV insurance, up to 5 named drivers, I added 4 including my 22 & 22 year old daughters, age currently irrelevant.

There is only one vegetable here, it's a Celery.

Shock! Horror! Transam can be sensible!

That my friend is what we call a "cop out". They would go the driving licence route first (IMHO).

So do you see them mandating only fast EV's or BMW M series cars too?

Nonsense. I can see businesses with fleets doing this voluntarily, but governments mandating it, it's not going to happen, it doesn't matter how many children are killed. A similar approach to that with motorbikes might be possible. Age restricted on driving licences (say up to 150 hp under 25 years old). A normal driving licence and a Supercar driving licence, possibly with mandated extra training needed for high performance cars is another possibility. Fitting limiters only to EV's will never happen, it's like saying only the rich can drive fast cars (they buy Porsche's etc). Impossible, political suicide. You haven't thought it through Vinny. Regarding Porsche Innodrive, my BYD has the same thing, Intelligent Cruise Control, it will slow you down at changing speed limits and restore to high speed afterwards. It's here today, but it's nothing to do with restricting power.

I disagree. To do that you would have to limit all cars with high performance. What about all the BMW M variants, Mercedes AMG variants, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Porsche's. What you are saying is impossible.

To avoid the risk of a no earth problem, you're better buying this one as you know it's fine.

Just plug it into a normal socket, no need to do anything else. Start off at 16 amps and if you have a problem (breaker trips or you feel something is getting too hot) knock it down to 13 amps. I have one of these with a 10 metre cable we take with us if we're going to a motel or someone else's house.

I think driving a fast car can hone the skills of a driver. It's all about experience. When I got my first fast car I remember thinking it was insane and how could anybody use all that power safely. A few thousand miles later, I had a completely different opinion. A powerful car can be a lot safer, maneuvers like overtaking can be completed much more safely.
