There are lots of published reports about battery longevity, 20 years seems to be the average (Chevy & Nissan Leaf's excepted as they didn't have liquid cooling).

Has it ever run out of petrol? Possibly the fuel lines have some crud in them sucked through from the tank.

Which is statistically more than 10 times more likely in your ICE vehicle.

Firstly, they are not moving away from EV's. They are finding it extremely difficult to compete with Chinese manufacturers and this is limiting their market. If they don't get their act together they will go the way of British Automakers like British Leyland. Some form of state protectionism in target markets by applying tariffs on Chinese vehicles might help them, but that is not going to be popular.

I think the problem is that if the government doesn't mandate dates for EV's and withdrawing ICE vehicles, it will never happen. Manufacturers need many years to develop new EV products and for the charging infrastructure to be rolled out. Likewise for power generation to go green, or as green as possible.

A Deposit is a pledge. If you break that pledge, you're not entitled to return of your deposit. However, it would be immoral to profit from it. I would deduct my losses from the deposit and refund the balance (if any).

No

Not really, I prefer to fly if I’m going any distance, I felt exactly the same way when I drove a noisy, polluting legacy vehicle that so had to waste time filling up every couple of weeks. He never claimed every EV can go 500km Sales of EV’s haven’t slumped in Thailand, they are growing every month. I don’t think they are more expensive, they are comparable and in some cases cheaper. The BYD Seal is in the Camry/Accord segment and despite being a vastly superior car, it’s no more expensive.

What a drag! I haven't needed to waste time going to any fuel stations in over 3 years

I registered too and was surprised to find they were already showing my previous car there in the list. I think the app and chargers are supplied by EA Anywhere.

There was a post on here about the MG EP+ (called the MG5 in the UK). A company ran 2 of them, they were replacing tyres at 80,000km and again at 160,000km on both cars.

You've missed a few highly likely scenarios... Alien Invasion with anti-EV ray guns Raspberry Jelly bubbling up from the ground and turning to concrete with EV's in it The Grinch disabling all EV's at Christmas I am sure there must be a lot more highly likely problems with EV's

My transport button is still there, I have tried every button except the self-destruct button, I can’t find that one. I am loving the car, the only thing I don’t like is the delay on the accelerator pedal, particularly when you blip it, the power comes in after a delay and continues to build after you’ve released the pedal. I have seen this before, I suspect it’s a power electronics issue, it’s present in MG’s too, but not all EV’s.

I already had the camera, 2,000 baht on Shopee, so all in about 2,600 baht inc memory card. I was going to do it myself, but I would probably have goosed it.

Please post a picture of today’s reading. Your previous two pictures are from Memory 2 on the meter, it’s possible you aren’t reading from the same memory. Sometimes there’s some text in the corner of the display telling you the type of memory, eg Import, Export, Cheap Rate etc etc

Chiang Rai is already busy, there were 3 cars queuing at the traffic light just now.

I wish, it's a "he" with a master's degree, they charged me 535 baht to fit the BYD camera.

Yes, a solid state relay is a better solution.

Put a capacitor across the thermostat and lose the inverter, run it on DC straight from 4 solar panels.

Usually I am highly critical, this one has a brain and pretty good product knowledge. I hope my experience with the service department is equally as good.

Pull down from the top on the home screen and it's there.

I am surprised nobody has pressed the "Transport Mode" button, I did and I think it reduces the power to 40%. You need a password to disengage it, the dealer didn't have a clue, google told me it's 1111 which worked.

I picked up my White Seal Performance today, it's booked in for a Frozenberry wrap on the 8th January. I will post pics afterwards. The dealer offered to fit my BYD camera tomorrow, hopefully for free. Salesman told me he has the new price for the Seal Performance now and it's 75,000 baht more.

I won't take NSAID's at all, they are far too dangerous. I take full tests every 6 months and don't take anything for headaches. I did take an 80mg Aspirin daily from age 25 to 65 on my Father-In-Law's advice, he was a doctor and said whilst we are not allowed to recommend it, I take it and if I would if I were you.

Yes and my daughters probably eat the raw larb, I try to avoid it, but sushi occasionally.
