This is my wall box, I had my electrician fit the 32amp plug and socket (lower right in the photo) so when I move I can unplug the wall box and take it with me. The ABB wall box is a superb device and with 3 phase is capable of 22kw charging.

Why am I not surprised you read and post conspiracy theories?

Here's another article on Nissan's woes. I suspect they won't exist inside 2 years 'Real reason' for Nissan collapse revealed as finance chief steps down

I never said to discount his arguments, I said he cannot be considered unbiased.

Now you're being ridiculous John.

What is sad is your unwavering defence of Israel. Your grammar and spelling doesn't help. Greg Rose cannot be considered unbiased, he is Jewish and probably holds an Israeli passport, the whole point of legal process with the ICC is to determine guilt or innocence. It's wrong to consider one Jewish man in Australia crying wolf.

So what do you do with accusations? You gather evidence and if you think they meet the burden of proof, you do EXACTLY what the ICC did, you issue arrest warrants.

Incidentally, my salesman told me that they received the email from Rever at 3am on the morning of the discounts.

The accusations are deafening

What is the size of the battery on the car you're thinking of buying?

There seems hardly a day to go by without more accusations of war crimes by Israel. Here is another accusation from an Israeli Former Defense Minister in today’s news that aligns with my own thinking https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/former-israeli-defense-minister-yaalon-warns-ethnic-cleansing-gaza-2024-12-01/

But the MG will drive through a flood, the Yaris won't. Ground clearance is irrelevant.

What a strange comment

You can get chargers that look like a granny charger but are fitted with a 32 amp industrial single phase plug, they charge at exactly the same speed as the fastest single phase wall box (7.4Kw at 230v). All that's then needed is for an electrician to fit a 40amp breaker in the OP's consumer circuit breaker panel and cable it to a 32 amp socket where he parks his car. For the OP who rents and may at some point move houses, it's a better option for him because he can take it with him (you can put a screw in the wall and hook it on the wall and it's then a portable wall box). It's also much cheaper.

42K is way too much. If you're doing less than 100km / day use the supplied granny charger If you're doing 100-200km/day go with the plug in 16amp/3.6kw charger at 6,800 baht or less If you're doing 200km+ in a day followed by long journey next day budget 12-20,000 baht and get an electrician to fit a 40a breaker in your existing panel and a 32 amp socket in your parking area and buy a 7Kw portable floor/wall box I showed the picture of. There is no way on this earth I would spend 42,000 baht on a wall box.

I can't help but think what a wonderful country Russia could have been if Putin spent the last 20 odd years looking inward and improving Russia instead of turning his greedy, jealous little eyes outward and seeing what damage he can do whilst gaining influence in other countries or performing land-grabs.

I have a degree in Electronic Engineering and I also live in Chiang Rai. You are dead wrong about EV's, by the time the water is too high for a Yaris, an EV can still cross it. Case in point, last year I drove to Chiang Mai and half-way the road was flooded, only pickups were getting through in the middle of the road. the cars were all parked up at the side of the road. They told not to drive through, but I did, they were all waiting for me to get stuck, needless to say I didn't get stuck and was treated to an underwater view from my front camera and continued to Chiang Mai. About 2 months ago I did exactly the same coming back from Chiang Mai in the same spot in a different EV, no problem at all. EV's don't like to be parked in a deep flood, but there again neither do Yaris's. QED An EV will get you where a Yaris won't.

I have a lady friend 76 years old who has MG4 X-Power and she only charges at PTT/Amazon about once a week. She enjoys a coffee whilst she charges and reads the news. Whilst it costs double charging at home, it's still half the cost of petrol/diesel.

I read the same report and can confirm tesla is doing, indeed have the most Lethal accidents just google Tesla most lethal and you will find all the links

we had language difficulties at the showroom yesterday, but I specifically asked if it was 800 V architecture or 400 V and the salesman said 400 V, but I wouldn’t necessary believe that

You have a fairly decent sized breaker panel, I would be very surprised if your meter is anything less than a 15/45 amp meter which IMHO is adequate. A lot of installers want to see a dedicated 15/45 amp meter just for the EV or a larger meter if just the one for house and car. The reason I wouldn't let BYD install their wall box was because I didn't want to change my meter. I have a nice spinning disk meter and I don't want a digital one (those with solar power will know why). I used a plug-in charger of 32 amps 7Kw and later installed the BYD ABB box myself on a 32 amp plug so I will take it with me when I leave, the ABB wall box is a superb device.

Is there a wall socket where you want to charge? You may like to forget buying a wall charger and buy one of these, it’s switchable 8, 10, 13 and 16 amps. Choose the 16 amp version with 5 or 10 meter cable. You should be able to charge at 13 amps (2.9kw) and maybe full the full 16 amps, 3.6kw. A 10 hour overnight charge is going to put over 25kwhrs in the battery at 13 amps, that’s about 200km depending on car. I have one of these we take away with us when we go and stay in hotels.

Incidentally I paid 2,500 baht labour plus a few hundred baht for parts to the electrician to install a 32 amp socket at our landlord's home. The socket was only a cable run of about 2M from the breaker panel and these plug in chargers charge at the same speed as a wall box.

I sat in a Sealion 7 yesterday morning, it has the dashboard of the new Seal when it comes, I like the dashboard a lot. Salesmen told me the price was reduced to 1.1M for premium and 1.2M for Performance until December 10th, but this doesn't fit with the graphic posted earlier.

It is probably on a concrete pole. In any event, an electrician would check this before installing a 32 amp socket and refuse to do it if it's a 5/15 amp meter. Your landlord should be pleased that you are leaving a 32 amp socket for future tenants to plug in an EV charger. Hopefully, he will give his permission. Before we bought a home in Chiang Mai we rented for 2 months and the landlord was very happy I fitted a socket at my own expense.
