Yes it has happened, depending on the statistics you read, it has happened between 10 and 100 times more often with ICE cars, sometimes much more catastrophic with an explosion, gasoline has a far higher energy density than Lithium Batteries.

Please do listen to the experts https://insideevs.com/news/561549/study-evs-smallest-fire-risk/ https://thedriven.io/2023/05/16/petrol-and-diesel-cars-20-times-more-likely-to-catch-fire-than-evs/ https://evcentral.com.au/are-evs-more-of-a-fire-hazard-than-ices/ https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/are-electric-vehicles-more-likely-to-catch-on-fire/ https://charge.net.nz/knowledge-article/ev-myths/ https://www.theloopnewspaper.com/story/2023/06/24/community/car-fires-evs-vs-ice-cars/10974.html https://electrek.co/2022/01/12/government-data-shows-gasoline-vehicles-are-significantly-more-prone-to-fires-than-evs/ https://belux.edmo.eu/fact-check-do-electric-cars-catch-fire-more-often-than-combustion-engine-cars/ I could go on, and on, and on, and on, and on

Groan Statistically ICE cars are more prone to fires than EV's.

Using both plugs on one charger would split the charger's maximum capable output in half on each plug, but it would prevent another car from taking half the current and slow down the charging process. Incidentally, there is a German car with an AC charging port on each side, only one side is DC and you can only use one side at a time.

In case anyone is interested in the performance comparison of the MG4 vs BYD ATTO 3 Extended Range. I had the opportunity to pit my MG4 (X) against the ATTO today on the way back to Chiang Rai from Chiang Mai. Side by side from about 30km/hr upwards (didn't test below) the MG4 steadily pulled away up to considerably past the legal limit. Both cars only one occupant.

I have the same car in that Blue with a bodykit, I love the car, it’s a lot of fun for the money and cheap enough that you don’t worry about where you park it or damage from enjoying a spirited drive.

You might think handling would be worse, actually it’s not. the Porsche Taycan is almost as fast around the Nurburgring as the 911 GT3RS, the Tesla Model S is also stunningly quick. mostly down to a very low center of gravity. As for the performance advantages of an EV, it doesn’t even need stating

Range for me is irrelevant, as long as it’s above my desired break interval which is about 300km. What is important to me is performance, handling, NVH, design and recharge speed. Above all performance and handling, every drive should be a pleasure.

Oh did I claim to be an expert? Where exactly did I make that claim? You are gaslighting Sir.

Even a rudimentary internet search will give you articles from many governmental organisations stating Cannabis is addictive. There have been studies, eg. the 2002 study done by the Us Dept of Health & Human Serv's. Here's an article from the USA's CDC Addiction | Health Effects | Marijuana | CDC Addiction (Marijuana or Cannabis Use Disorder) Some people who use marijuana will develop marijuana use disorder, meaning that they are unable to stop using marijuana even though it’s causing health and social problems in their lives. One study estimated that approximately 3 in 10 people who use marijuana have marijuana use disorder.1 Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.2 The risk of developing marijuana use disorder is greater in people who start using marijuana during youth or adolescence and who use marijuana more frequently.3 The following are signs of marijuana use disorder 4: Using more marijuana than intended Trying but failing to quit using marijuana Spending a lot of time using marijuana Craving marijuana Using marijuana even though it causes problems at home, school, or work Continuing to use marijuana despite social or relationship problems. Giving up important activities with friends and family in favor of using marijuana. Using marijuana in high-risk situations, such as while driving a car. Continuing to use marijuana despite physical or psychological problems. Needing to use more marijuana to get the same high. Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when stopping marijuana use. People who have marijuana use disorder may also be at a higher risk of other negative consequences, such as problems with attention, memory, and learning. Some people who have marijuana use disorder may need to use more and more marijuana or greater concentrations of marijuana over time to experience a “high.” The greater the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in marijuana (in other words, the concentration or strength), the stronger the effects the marijuana may have on the brain.5,6 The amount of THC in marijuana has increased over the past few decades.6 In a study of cannabis research samples over time, the average delta-9 THC (the main form of THC in the cannabis plant) concentration almost doubled, from 9% in 2008 to 17% in 2017.7 Products from dispensaries often offer much higher concentrations than seen in this study. In a study of products available in online dispensaries in 3 states with legal non-medical adult marijuana use, the average THC concentration was 22%, with a range of 0% to 45%.8 In addition, some methods of using marijuana (for example, dabbing and vaping concentrates) may deliver very high levels of THC to the user.6,9 Researchers do not yet know the full extent of the consequences when the body and brain are exposed to high concentrations of THC or how recent increases in concentrations affect the risk of someone developing marijuana use disorder.6

You might be surprised

Sounds like a price issue to me.

The medical profession disagrees with you...I prefer to trust the experts.

You don't want fan-cooled grid-tied inverters if you can avoid it, fans always wear out, especially Chinese fans, if you do then keep spares. Likewise, larger inverters mounted in the shade are the best way to go, micro-inverters under a hot solar panel are not a good idea. My convection cooled inverters are guaranteed 10 years, I know of 8 installed in this province, no issues at all.

Yes, that was my take too.

All the aluminum mountings and cables, circuit breakers, surge arresters are missing, add another 10-15,000 baht

The problem with negative marketing is people lose trust in the company doing it. Bashing the competition is a poor substitute for extolling your own merits.

Probably because Brazil speaks Portuguese and whilst it's similar to Spanish, there are a lot of differences.

The glass only gets hot when you are parked in the sun, the breeze through driving keeps it at ambient temperature. You probably need something like a 99% blocking film

That's nuts and 50% more than a Porsche Taycan

Mercedes seems to have got it right, I left the cover open on my E class and it never got hot, the glass was very dark though.

MUST's after sales service is practically zero. I have installed their grid-tied inverters before in my previous house, and they just work out the box with no configuration needed. I can also live with noise from the fans, I have a small room that is permanently air conditioned that serves 3 functions, inverters/batteries, computer servers, and wine cellar. It is opposite the maid's room so she would be the one to get the noise and I wouldn't be happy about that, she's like family. I cleaned the filters on the Hybrid inverters after 18 months, they were filthy and they are only ever doing anything during a power cut. Do you have the WiFi adaptors to go with the inverters? I did have them and might be able to find a couple if you need them.

I get emails from them occasionally, I don't specifically remember one inverter, I tend to look at all of them. I think I have 3 of the same inverters in your photo (5.5Kw Hybrid). I couldn't get them to export any decent amount to PEA and when they were working, they were incredibly noisy so I added 3 grid-tied 6Kw MUST inverters and moved the PV onto them, now I use the Hybrid inverters purely as whole house UPS. I bought direct from MUST in China, shipped Thailand Special Line so no duty/VAT payable, came out at half the price of Lazada delivered to my door. Are your battery packs connected in parallel as one big pack? The inverters will fail if there is a mismatch in battery voltages, it's why they tell you to keep the cables the same length.

That can also be problematic, say you bought your condo for 5M but only declared 3M purchase price to land office and sold it for 10M but only declared 8M sale to land office, you can only send 3M overseas with land office documentation alone.

You can't answer that question without knowing the source of the funds, it depends whether you can prove that you either brought the money into the country legally or earned it here and paid tax on it, or not. If you can't then it's completely different.
