interestingly, there are no Chinese vehicles in the survey, my experience with Chinese EV’s is they are incredibly reliable, not a fault on the two we have.

You don't pay the debt, let the loan company take the car but offer to buy the car from the loan company, with that document you can get a new blue book

This is the best course of action.

If you always carry a wallet, as I do, I think keeping an NFC card with your credit cards is a much neater solution than also having to carry a key.

I think you need to check the price of the Ioniq 5...

Maybe you can try starting the car with card 1 and setting a seat memory for driver 1, then doing the same with the other card for driver 2 and see if it remembers?

Deepal L07 looks a better buy than base model Seal. It's a very exciting time for petrol electric heads to be alive.

I think Porsche are fitting a few 350Kw chargers, I believe the target is 8 in total, they should work with any car.

I have built 3 pools, all salt systems, all granite tiled. I recently changed the chlorinator on one to 4 times bigger than recommended, I run the pump for 75 minutes a day at sunset, electric bill on that house was 684 baht, empty for November but new tenant arrives on Friday. Pool is 4m x 3.5m, granite tiled.

It's clearly styled after the Porsche Panamera Mk1. Generally I like it, but the problem is Porsche have marched on with that design and rear end in particular looks dated and bulbous. However, if there wasn't a BYD Seal, it would be on my list to investigate.

I suspect it's passive charging, but unlike MG which balances when the battery hits 100% SoC the BYD starts balancing at 8x% or 9x% the recommendation of charging to 100% once a week hints at passive balancing. It would be good to know. Incidentally, I fitted 2 of those watt meters in 2 houses we built, one of them still works, the other flashes on and off. That's after 6 years, they are the DC type sourced on AliExpress. I wired all the lighting circuits up for 24v DC, even table lights which used XLR wall sockets. In the event of a powercut a contactor trips over to batteries. One of those houses was sold, the other I rent out and it has 4 of 12v Lithium motorbike batteries (built in BMS) which will power the lights for a few hours.

I wonder what the battery chemistry is? 350Kw charging hints at NMC technology I do feel it's overpriced, maybe they aren't going to make them here? and perhaps Korean EV's pay more import duty than China?

That suggests passive balancing :-( The way to tell is how much current it draws at the end of charging, if it drops massively to hundreds of watts then it's passive balancing the battery.

I left a restaurant in Pattaya part way through a meal because they allowed a regular customer to smoke. I complained and the owner said it's ok because we have an entertainment licence (which is BS), they got a terrible review from me on TripAdvisor and I never went back.

Perhaps the BYD does not display a message about recalibrating, nobody will know for 6 months or so. One of the main reasons for charging to 100% on the MG is for the BMS to equalise the storage in each cell, this is called passive balancing. I suspect that BYD cars perform active balancing, a little bit more expensive for the manufacturer to make but it doesn't waste energy which passive balancing does. I looked into this in detail before building my LFP battery packs for solar and decided to add active balancing so I never have to charge up past 80% SoC. Regarding the Dolphin, I think changing to the extended range is definitely the way to go, it brings the 0-100 down to 7 seconds from a pedestrian 12 seconds. In nearly 3 years I have only fast charged once for 12 minutes or so, mostly to test it out, I figured better to test it when you don't need it then stress about it when you do need it.

congratulations

Maybe it's on Lazada?

I ordered the Seal Performance in Space Grey on 19/10 and still awaiting a delivery date, I am still 3rd in the queue at my dealer for that model/colour combination as I was 8 days ago.

I'm trying to make up for a misspent youth

I worry that the supply at his parent's house will be strong enough for a 7Kw wall charger. It's not strong enough at my house unless the sun is shining. He would be better with a switchable charger, I just gave away one that is switchable between 10 amps, 16 amps, 24 amps and 32 amps. I run mine at 10amps if charging overnight and 24 amps during the day. You can change the charging rate on the MG4 infotainment system so a wallbox at his parents would work, but, thinking about it, MG's subcontractors won't install the wallbox if the supply is not good enough.

He would be better using the supplied Granny Charger at his parents home, if they are on a weak PEA supply, that Granny unit will be fine and should charge the car over one or 2 nights. He should fit the supplied wall charger at his own home if he can.

IIRC the Camry 2.5 is a 4 cylinder engine.

In the last 2.5 years with 2 different EV's, I only charged at a fast DC CS once, and that was to test it.

Some insults for fat people... Where can I rent those chins? I knew there was a famine in Africa, now I know why You're so fat you have your own postcode
