It's not true to say that Toyota own the PHEV segment, only a few of Toyota ranges are hybrid and even fewer PHEV (only the Prius?). Mercedes on the other hand, offer a model in their major every ranges (C, E, S class) as a PHEV. The PHEV market share is actually tanking, not going up. Plug-in hybrids once dominated EV sales. Now their market share is tanking - ABC News The data I posted shows the market share of EV's is increasing, not decreasing. In the UK it has to increase to 22% of all models sold by a manufacturer this year or they will be fined 15,000 GBP for every model that missed the target.
-
The rate of increase has to ultimately decrease as the number of potential buyers gets lower because people have already bought one. What's important is that the market share of EV new sales continues to increase. That's the true measure of whether the "changeover" from ICE is really happening.

I don't know where you read that, but it's not correct. The USA Electric vehicle sales accounted for 7.9% of total industry sales in Q3, a record and up from 6.1% a year ago and 7.2% in Q2. As Cox Automotive has been reporting, higher inventory levels, more product availability, and downward pricing pressure have helped spur continued linear growth of EV sales in the U.S. market. EV sales have now increased for 13 straight quarters. https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/q3-2023-ev-sales/ The UK

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
JBChiangRai replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Keep an eye on the temperature of your adaptor, they "say" it's rated at 10 amp, I'm not so sure. -
With that happening, at the very least, I would recommend PPF on your nose cones, it looks like it's going to be endemic.

There are 2 very good reasons why I believe showing homosexuality as normal on TV is a good thing. My eldest son who went to a public all-boys school (that means private in the UK) didn't feel comfortable telling his classmates he was gay, if portraying homosexuality as normal helps other kids with that then it's a good thing. He came out to his mother before me. He dreaded doing it and she did completely the wrong thing. She cried and said how disappointed she was and it was an aberration and he had just given her the worst day of her life. He was scarred from that. If portraying homosexuality as normal helps other parents deal with their children coming out in a constructive and helpful manner, than that is good thing too. When my son came out to me, I just said "Oh, I thought you wanted to tell me something important, it makes no difference to me, nothing you could do or say would make me love you any less, do you have a boyfriend yet?".

All wraps will protect the paint, though dedicated PPF is much thicker. I haven't checked, but I suspect the nose cone is plastic and in the post with peeling plaint, it's likely there was some oil or something else went wrong before or during the painting process. My Seal is going in on Monday to be wrapped and new alloy wheels are on order too. I will post photos after it's completed.

I think the technical term is Luddite.

Someone else already explained your ignorance on this matter and beat me to it. The statistics are of course per 100,000 vehicles so the number on the road is irrelevant. This was explained to you in your post last year, perhaps you know better than all these organisations, alternatively, you're just a fool, flat earther too perchance? I can make my mind up whether you are just ignorant on this subject or if there is something underlying. Can I suggest you change your handle to DUNTHINKIN ?

I sometimes wonder if evolution skipped some people

Oh! and you know this how? a facebook silly video of 2 old men laughing? There's very little queuing in Thailand for chargers, and you can book them in advance so there is no queueing Check the statistics, a vehicle with an ICE is between 14 and 120 times more likely to catch fire than an EV.
-
All cities have fast DC chargers, there are 3 fast DC chargers in MHS, most hotels now have Level 2 charging stations and if not you can plug in at your hotel with your granny charger, it's not difficult.
-
Oh! you waste time going to a fuel station? You have my sympathies, I haven't had to do that in the last 4 or 5 years.

EV's the sound of silence.

When it comes to EV's @DUNROAMIN you're ignorant.

This is a duplicate post by the same OP, the original being 2nd April 2023. It is pushing his evangelical anti EV opinion with false data. As was covered in that original thread, multiple sources of statistics including the US Gov't, put fires in ICE vehicles about 14 times more likely than in an EV. A simple google search will tell you that the source of this video in an anti CCP outfit and funded by Falun Gong, its videos are clickbait. There are many members here who are buyers of BYD vehicles, myself included, I have yet to hear of ANY being unhappy.

Why don't you tell us what you consider to be BS about EV's? Put some justification behind your claim.

Women going to Gambia to find a much younger man
JBChiangRai replied to scubascuba3's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I think it might have something to do with the Gambian men's large penises. I went to Barbados when I was about 23 with a couple of mates. We had little luck in the discos, lots of American and Canadian girls but they only wanted the locals. -
What have you been smoking?

Setting import tariffs on Chinese EV's will massively slow uptake of EV's as other countries can't make them at anywhere near the same price. Do you really want to pay 50% more for an EV that doesn't compare well to a similarly priced ICE vehicle? The Chinese are disrupting the industry by providing better EV's than ICE at the same price.
