Here is a 3,500 baht solution. I doubt you'll ever have a scenario where this doesn't work for you, about 8 hours overnight will take you from 20% to 80% and it's 60% faster than the supplied granny charger. 8 amp, 10 amp, 13 amp and 16 amp selectable.

I'm driven by my head not my heart when it comes to cars. The Atto 3 is more my taste than the M6 but I would sacrifice practicality over looks every time. On the charger you can pay 36-47,000 baht and write it all off when you leave, or you can 10-15,000 baht and only write off 3-8,000 baht when you leave and your next installation will be cheap too. Both give you the same charging speed. I am from Yorkshire, we are like the Scottish but with the generosity wrung out of them.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
JBChiangRai replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Why am I not surprised Transman posted this. Mark Mills is just spreading FUD and he contradicts himself continuously. He say's EV's cost the manufacturer a $50k loss per car and that's after a federal credit. But Tesla's sell well and they don't lose money. He says EV;s are complicated, they're not, there's a a dozen modules only in an EV, the newer BYD's have 2 major components a 12 in 1 drive system and a battery. His main issue is implied but unspoken, and that is that China can do it economically and America can't. -

All BYD's are LFP Battery Chemistry -
Looking for 17" 5 hole alloy wheels with -25 offset

I got after-market wheels for my BYD in B-Quik, I would ask them, they can probably look them up. -

I think the fast one might be 1.2M until 10/12, you can just pay a 10,000 baht booking fee now I think. -

Probably book it now before December 10th, and I would go for the fast one, but then I'm still a teenager at heart. -
I missed that, then the Atto Station Wagon is the right choice, I think it's called M6 or B6.

If I were Yodarapper my head would be spinning. For me, the solution is obvious. Typical maximum journey is 185km to Rayong. There are more than a dozen fast chargers on the way to Rayong and lots in Rayong. He doesn't need an extended range vehicle, the standard Atto 3 is fine, but by all means go for the extended if you prefer. It will get you to Rayong with as much again spare. Top up on the way back at any of the chargers on the way back, I would top up at the first one for about 15-20 minutes to avoid range anxiety. Next the issue of the home charger. I would be budgeting 15,000 baht maximum (I may be as cheap as 9,500 baht) for a plug in 7Kw portable wall box, asking my landlord if I could fit a 32 amp socket where I park the car to allow EV charging, it improves the rentability of the property, he would be mad to say no. Perhaps it costs 3-7,000 for that, that is the only wasted expenditure when you move to a new property, you unplug and take the charger with you. You should not consider an ICE car, you've already driven the Atto and know how superior it is to drive over an ICE. I think it would help if instead of bombarding Yodarapper with possibilities and information, we advised what we would do, bearing in mind a wall box is not included.

So it looks like BYD is already number 2 in Thailand. A year ago they were tipped to pass Honda. Toyota better watch out, they have sleep-walked into this coming crisis through poor leadership. Fast forward 10 years, EV adoption is widespread, there are no perceived psychological barriers to entry and there is price parity or EV's are actually cheaper to buy than ICE (if you can still buy them). What do you think will happen to the second-hand market, you can buy an EV or you can buy an ICE with its complicated setup and running cost 4 times as much as an EV? We are fast reaching the point where you would be a mug to buy an ICE (personally, I think we were there a year ago). -
I think we are looking at 3+ years down the line for these new blade batteries to appear in the models being sold in Thailand. We haven’t seen the Seal platform 3.0 Evo yet. in terms of affecting resale value, that is going to taper, depending on the age of the vehicle. Anybody who bought the old technology a year before the new technology is likely to be hit, but anybody with a car three years old, I doubt it’ll make any difference whatsoever. That means anybody buying a car now is unlikely to be affected at all.

You may be right, I hope you aren't, in my opinion Hybrids are a con unless they are plug-in.

His post hasn't aged well. Even 2in 022 when he posted there were lots of charging stations.

Yes I read it, I knew you would enjoy it which is why I posted it.

Top Trending EV Cars in Thailand
JBChiangRai replied to CharlieH's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I think EV owners are more mindful of floods, I don't think any EV owner would deliberately take their car through a flood. Both times I did it, I had already traveled 90km and didn't want to turn around. I think it's the Wuling EV they demonstrate as amphibious here, it can float and cross floods. -
Vibrator, hand cuffs, dog collar, butt plug Seriously, I only use mine when flying, it's handy for passport, boarding card, powerbank and phone. I don't use it any other time.
-
That's great for consumers because all those vehicles will be sold cheaper, so the numbers are still accurate.

They are basically portable wall boxes. The functionality matches a wall box but they are much cheaper. If you put a screw in the wall, they hook over the screw and make a semi-permanent installation. If you wire a standard 16 amp plug to a portable 32 amp socket, you can also take this combination with you for hotels etc, just remember to select 16 amps or lower first.

I don't think it is, or you would have said where the origin of Hossam Shabat's report (he is a reporter, he never stated it was his opinion). It's his job to report what he hears. It came from Dr. Al Bursh. I can't help wondering how a Dr. can "see" to deal with a vapourised body in the hospital, I suspect there's a mistranslation somewhere here, however that is just my opinion.

Some auto manufacturers are in trouble in the UK. They are going to be fined around 600,000 THB per car they sell that fails to enable them to hit a 22% threshold on EV's (not sure if PHEV count, but I know a man who will comment, cue: Vinny) Separate research by The Telegraph motoring desk show a litany of seemingly successful companies which, with only a month to the end of the year, are facing massive bills for non-compliance. Electric-only producers such as Tesla and BYD are obviously in the clear, with BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jeep and Cupra – along with MG – having EV sales comfortably over this year’s 22 per cent threshold. In fact, some of those companies are trading their surplus in a carbon market that has been encouraged by Government. Less comfortable are Lexus, Hyundai, Vauxhall, Honda and Audi. Those selling large volumes of cars, many of them uncompliant with the ZEV mandate, face the largest fines. Think Toyota, Skoda, Kia, Nissan, Volkswagen, Ford, Mazda, Jaguar Land Rover, Seat and Suzuki. How the Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate is skewing the UK car market
